Grand Californian Super Thread

It's for all

Is the World of Color viewing terrace available for all GCH guests or just Club Level? I searched the thread and someone asked back in May but couldn’t find any replies.
Thank you!

It's for all Grand Californian guests You need your key to get into the terrace.

Here's what I would consider, which you probably already have.

How important is it that you are guaranteed to all be together? If not having connecting rooms would be difficult I'd go with the club level 1 bedroom.

If you'd be ok possibly being separated I'd do 2 standard connecting rooms. It's so nice to have that extra bathroom, and you'd have 2 balconies even though they're not as big as the suite balcony. You also get the extra microwave, mini fridge etc. If you save money doing this instead of the suite you could get room service a couple of times or do a character meal at Storytellers.

When I stayed at the Grand last year I booked 2 standard rooms and called ahead of time to request that they be connecting. I also called the morning we checked in to ask again. The connecting rooms worked out great for our family.

I don't think the views are as important, only because you don't know what you could end up with even if you choose a certain view room.

I appreciate this I really need to just stop the whole view things. Its ridiculous because unless it was a ocean front type situation I wouldn't even be thinking about the view in the past, but for some reason w/ GC I have fixated on it. I don't even know why it is something that I am focused on. Also the whole not know till you check in is something I need to remember. If it wasn't a Christmas trip I would most likely be doing DLH because I really think the kids would love it. I really think I might be kicking myself if I don't do the GC during the holidays.

Them being 'together' is not a huge deal thb, but of course them being connecting would be idea nicel -- but it also isn't a huge deal. I think if we do 2 rooms unless it's one of those situations where you can get the better views cheaper I will just book standard & hope for the best.

There is always that little part of me that is like just do 1 room and not worry about it, but I could see us ending up with the 1 king/sofa bed/chair sleeper. I am barely 5'5 so I can fit pretty much anywhere. My husband is 6'6 & our son who will be 17 is 6' our daughter who is 7 is tall but she will be fine. I just want it to be enjoyable and I just wonder with if the kids ages etc. if we would just be really cramped -- but again I might be over thinking everything!
