Grand Californian Super Thread

[Yukonjack]

We are here now and have a room on the sixth floor with a fabulous pool view. We also have a park view of GRR and ToT in the background. The beds are heavenly!

Man, color me jealous Enjoy your trip!

Our family will be staying at GC for 5 nights. On our 5th night we will be renting a car to see a Dodger game. We plan to keep it over night and then take it to the airport so we won't have to deal with a shuttle. HOw much will we be charged to park for 1 night as a hotel guest?

Thank you!

There is a parking lot across the street from the entrance to the Grand and if it is full you are directed to the PPH garage which is another 150 feet from the lot.

Use your room cardkey to access the dedicated Grand Californian parking.

When we were there 2 weeks ago, we were directed across the street which has been the same for the last 3 years. Would have love to park in the ajacent lot.

Finally getting around to posting hotel photos from early June. We booked a standard room, got upgraded to pool view. It was so nice. Very quick easy access to the elevators, pool, lobby and DCA entrance

I'm a photobucket newbie, so bear with me...

Balcony views, you could see the pool and just a bit of Mickey's Fun Wheel and Grizzly Peak.

Bathroom vanity

Beds

Television, dresser

Thanks everyone on this thread. We are there from 26 September, and the updates keep reminding me what a great hotel this is to stay at and what a good time we will have. Fingers crossed for an upgrade as above!

I made that picture before a satellite view of the expanded hotel was available. The "L" shaped lot next to the hotel is where the hotel expansion is now located.

Thanks for explaining. After taking time to look at the photo I realized the Villas are not there. Since I am traveling just does not show well on the iPhone.

DS needs his milk in the morning when he wakes up and also at bedtime.He can't drink cold milk right out of the refrigerator and needs it to be room temperature.
Since GCH rooms don't have any microwaves, any suggestions on what I can do/ take to warm the milk ?
Reservations suggested I can use the microwave at WWS but that's open only unril 10pm and besides it won't be convenient going ALL the way theta to warm just a cup of milk !
Looking for suggestions pleaseeeee

 

[tdashgirl]

I suppose you could heat up some water in the coffee maker, then put the milk container in there until it warms sufficiently?

That is one thing that is a downer about DLR standard hotel rooms. No microwave

 

[pearl12970]

Yup. I agree

I always just use hot tap water to warm my son's bottles, we've never used a microwave, it takes a few minutes but it works.

 

[pearl12970]

He doesn't drink in a bottle anymore. He drinks from a regular cup + straw. A suggestion - you could actually heat up the water in the coffee maker and then dip your son's bottle in the hot water.
I can't do that with a regular cup / glass.Still wondering what to do

How about picking up some "shelf stable" milk and seeing if he'll drink that? If he will, just bring some along and pop it open when he wants a cup.

Or you could bring a couple of old baby bottles or a reusable aluminum or plastic water bottle to warm the traditional milk in and then pour it in a cup for him to drink.

 

[tinksdreamwishes]

buy a baby bottle warmer and then transfer the milk to a cup. Or tell him to live it with it cold!
