Can we talk Cabana's! after several hours of searching for information and hopefully a map of the cabana's at the Grand I was unable to come up with any pictures with locations.

This is what I found out for pricing and times. Unfortunately, the date I need in August was full, but they offered me one at DL resort and I declined as its not something were interested in doing unless its better than the grands pool?
Pricing;
Full day 9:30-6:30 $424.00
Half day 9:30-1:30 or 2-6 $374.00

If anyone has August 10th booked and thinking of cancelling can you let me know, I'd be happy to take over your reservation by calling after you cancel!!

Looking for preference locations of cabana #'s that would be great! we're a family of 4, with teens, so looking not to be in a "busy" zone, lol!! Just in case we get a reservation I can request a cabana #.

Also do people call daily for cancellations? Know its a hit or miss with cancellations or do people cancel these reservations!! Seems like I'm back at the hunger games!!

We were in Cabana #2 (pictured below). I honestly would be fine with any of them. I’ve tried to put down where I remember to the best of my recollection where the 6 cabanas are located. Three are by the Mariposa pool and three are by the Fountain pool.



This is the view of the Mariposa Pool (you can see the top of the Redwood Slide off to the left of the photo) from Cabana #2:

Is the GCH providing full daily housekeeping to all rooms now, without having to make a special request?

Hi, we are here now and receiving full mousekeeping, but we are club level. But I can ask when we return to the hotel later today if it’s fully returned to the hotel. I’ll let you know.

 

[Canto]

Hi all, We are currently staying at the GCH, club level. We’ve been here two nights and have three to go.

Any questions? Ask and I’ll try to answer!

I’ll post pictures of the Veranda and food offerings later!

Can you let me know what beers are available?

And also, do they have sparkling wine?

Checking in on Saturday and need to know how much to pack in the cooler.

Yes to sparkling wine…I’ve been having flamingos? Every morning (sparkling wine orange juice and a splash of cranberry juices)

ETA for typos, as you can read I’ve probably already had some sparkling wine!

Are these soft padded chairs in front of the cabanas reservable?

Are you talking about the lounge chairs or the table/chairs in front of the cabana? I thought the lounge chairs were included with the cabana rental? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[disneymum58]

The lounge chairs and table/chairs are included with the cabana rental. They can't be rented separately.

 

[3TinksAndAnEeyore]

Are these soft padded chairs in front of the cabanas reservable?

Yes, they are reservable as part of the cabana rental. The table with the umbrella and four chairs and the two padded lounge chairs in front of the cabana are included as part of the cabana rental. They put out a little sign on the table between the two lounge chairs with your cabana number and name that says “Thank you for being our guest.”

Was this one yours? I only ask because we are "Marshall" and now this seems like a sign I should book this.

Thank you, this is extremely helpful! Now fingers crossed we can snatch one up with a cancellation.

I think you should book it! Definitely a sign! Yes, this was our cabana. My last name is Marshall.

The lounge chairs AND the table with four chairs are included in the cabana rental. It’s really a great way to extend your hotel stay. We had the cabana for our first day since we wouldn’t be going into the parks and knowing our room might not be available until late afternoon. We could have simply arrived in Anaheim later that afternoon, but by reserving the cabana, I felt we really had an extended vacation and we’re able to ease into the trip. With the couch in the cabana area, the table, and the lounge chairs, there’s plenty of room to spread out, chill and relax.

Just FYI, ALL the (free) lounge chairs at the Grand have that soft padding.
