showers at grand Californian

[KFJames]

Really looking forward to our upcoming trip from the UK. A quick question for anyone in the know.....I know check out is at 11am but our flight back to the UK is not until 10pm...........are there any showers we could use to freshen up if we deceide to make the last of our few hours in the parks?

I do not see any way for you to do that. Best would be to get a late checkout from GCH until maybe noon? After that I think you are out of luck unless you rented a room somewhere.

Some of the lounges at LAX have showers. You's have to figure put if there's one in your airline's terminal and if they sell day passes.

I wonder if you could use the showers in the fitness center in Grand Californian? I bet you could, but you should probably check with Guest Services at the Grand.

I want to say when we stayed last year that when we checked in we were told on check out day we would be able to swim and then use the showers available in (I think) the fitness center. I was so excited to be staying there and to get to the parks though maybe I heard wrong.

I could swear I saw someone recently post that on checkout day you can use your room key as a pool only key into the evening ams that there is a small building there with showers? Or maybe they meant they could access the fitness wing shower?

I would email or call the hotel now and confirm so you have definitive answer

Someone did say this as an answer to my question about using the GCH pool on the day of check out ,and then needing to shower there prior to heading to San Diego. I have never been to GCH, so I am just repeating what OP said, but this is exactly what they said. Hope it works out for your family and ours!

Have you considered a late check out? We usually do a late check out until 6pm, that way we can go back to the room and freshen up and shower and change before the long flight to Australia. There is a cost involved but I can't remember how much it was (we have done it a few times at GCH).

We are staying in a DVC studio, so don't know if that would be an option, but would gladly pay a bit extra to stay in the room.

You are right; it almost certainly will not be an option. Depending on the cost, it might be worth thinking about to just rent the room for that last night as well. I know you'd only be there until 6 or so, but it would let you relax and have a space to call your own the whole day.

That is a great idea We have done that before with our late night flights.

Surely the room would be wanted for the next guests though??????

The day you check out of GCH your room key is good to use the facilities until midnight, parking, the pool, etc. We have done it many of times.

I'd call and check, I can't recall what they said about showers, but there was a way to do it.

You could ask if they could give you a later checkout. I think they'll give you an hour with no charge if available. Maybe hit the parks in the am, going back, shower, etc., put your bags with bellhop, check out, then go back until 6
