I stayed at the Grand Californian last year and I would recommend it to everybody. It is absolutely amazing. It is so convenient as you get to walk into down town Disney and grand Californian. This saves time getting in and out of the parks extremely fast, and the most amazing part, is that hotel guests get access to the park 1hr before other guests. The scenery is absolutely is amazing, the lobby is breathtaking and extremely large with a beautiful chandelier and a fireplace. Not to mention the beautiful piano playing all classical Disney music almost 24/7! The food is amazing, and you walk outside right into the Story Tellers Cafe which is amazing because of the buffet food, and the meeting the characters experience, very fun for children, and any age. I loved the souvenir store as it has cute items and may save time from going to crowded stores located in the parks. The pool area is beautiful and has something for everybody, and a fun slide for children, while parents can watch with beautiful sights and pools. I loved every moment of it and I will be coming back soon!

Yes, they are very close in theme. I bet the suite was super nice!! We just stayed at a 2 bedroom DVC villa at GC. I'm working on that video. It was sooooo nice. Our view was overlooking the pool and we absolutely loved it. I've only stayed at Wilderness Lodge once, and it was lovely just opening the sliding glass door and feeling like you were in the woods. We loved that too. We're waitlisted to stay at Copper Creek Villas on our next trip to WDW. Fingers crossed! Thanks for commenting!

@@TheMouseScout Pay no attention to mean-spirited comments. It's one thing to say you disagree with a review, but another to be mean about it. I happen to agree that this hotel captures Disney magic and therefore, qualifies as majestic! We have been staying since my kids were in a stroller in 2001. They are now 20 and we hope to go back when every is back to normal. The only negative is how prices have changed. It was about $200-300 back then. But it keeps getting better so hard to argue with success and high demand.
