Wb, that last picture cracks me up everytime I look at it.

Disneyland is a great place to be... It has much more spiritual magic than WDW (and there's less walking).

Welcome back Mint!

Thanks too, for being so way cool to come visit me in my quest room, while you were in the park! Even cooler that your daughter was on and was so sweet to see her "I miss you mummy"!

Glad you had such a great trip girl friend!

WB Mint!! I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time, and I love the pictures, especially that last one

Do you have any more pictures of the Grand Californian that you can share?? We're considering a trip to Disneyland for next year, and that's where we want to stay.

I loved the Grand Californian!

I describe it to people by saying that it feels like the Grand Floridian and
Wilderness Lodge had a child, and it grew up to be the Grand Californian.

The Arts and Crafts style seems like a perfect fit, and I had a heckuva
time trying to take pictures of the stained glass entry door, as people kept
entering and leaving so frequently.

I'm so glad you had a great time.

Entrance 50th Sign

My Friend calling for our bags...I think..

The Room

Closet with Grand Californian bathrobes for guest use (available for $75 and can be embroidered with your name)

Bathroom

Sitting Area

TV and Minibar

Minibar

We had a "Park View" room....this is what we saw from our balcony

View taken from a different angle....notice the monorail. It does not stop at the hotel - just goes through it.

Closer shot..

Storytellers Cafe for breakfast

My Breakfast!! lol...a bit pricey as this is all I could eat but Character interaction was great!!

Turndown Service every night!

Complimentary Toiletries

Paradise Pier Hotel - We went to the sushi restaurant and it was GREAT!

I have NO IDEA who this guy was...I felt warm breath on my face right before the picture was taken, turn around and some Australian man was telling us to have a good trip as he walked away..lol!!

I think this is the old 20,000 Leagues Lagoon...it is getting a remodel with Nemo I believe but there was water!!

A drive down the Pacific Coast Highway...this was Malibu!

TOM CRUISE' DRIVEWAY!! Only three photographers parked outside.....

No title necessary...

Walk of Stars - did you know that they PAY like 10 or 15 THOUSAND dollars to have their names put there (or so the tour guide said)

Innoventions - we had fun for sure

Mods I hope it is okay to post these on the VMK boards....​

 

[MicMin]

Woot Mint! The pictures are great. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Tell us more, please. More pictures would also be very nice.

 

[Decoy]

Welcome back!!! Wonderful pictures!!!

I have so enjoyed the lobby, my dd used to take naps in the rocking chairs of the cartoon lounge, it was cool to see what the rooms look like.

 

[Timmyastro]

[JeanJoe]

I'm shocked and horrified that they didn't provide you with sufficient pillows. Did you call to complain?

Turndown Service every night!
