Enter DCA from Grand Californian after spa visit (not staying there)

[ajh88]

We have spa treatments booked at the Grand Californian and plan to hit up DCA after for a leisurely dinner and World of Color. We are not staying at the Grand. Would we be able to access the park via the Grand Californian entrance or is that strictly reserved for hotel guests? I know we will need to park in one of the main lots or Uber over if we don't want to pay the valet fees, I'm just trying to determine timing. Thanks!

Yes you can. I did it a few days ago. You will do a bag check and then scan your park ticket. I believe that its only reserved for hotel guests in the morning time. Ive never had an issue using the hotel park entrance.

In addition, as a paying guest of the spa you are considered a guest of the GCH as well. If, by some strange circumstance, they are strictly checking at that entrance, you are absolutely entitled to use it.
