FULL TOUR of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel EVERYTHING You Need To Know Before You Go

[@milla2116]

Wow! Just wow! That hotel looks absolutely amazing! And omg, it looks so beautiful! Every time I saw something new in the hotel throughout the video, I just went, omg, this place looks amazing! I have never stayed at a Disney hotel before (Disneyland or WDW), so I think it's great that you guys, Chris and Amanda, are showing us fulls tours of these hotels and showing us everything there is to see about these beautiful places! That hidden Mickey on the grandfather clock is brilliant! Had Chris not pointed it out, I would never have seen it! I love it! I think your videos are what keep me going throughout each and every day, because I love your positvity (and Chris's cheesy jokes) and I look forward to your videos every day! Thank you PPP for continuing to make these videos, spreading your joy with the world and bringing us just a little bit of Disney magic every day!

[@KensanOni]

No! You've let people know where my morning spot is! You can sit in the outside lounge, and listen to the Grizzly Rapids and smell the trees. It's a great hang out spot.

[@provostparkpass]

Uh oh. 💚💙

[@KrookedDoesStuff]

The Grand during Christmas time is one of my favorite places. It's absolutely magical

[@antoinetteforte8325]

Those peering “wait a minute..!” eyes! 👁 I’m here for it, love your content! Thanks so much for your positivity and bringing Disney to us 😊😊😊

[@purplepetpaws4297]

You are both amazing! Thank you for all you do! It's been over 5 years and I miss Disneyland every day but you help with being able to see it. 🥰

[@handsome526]

Downtown Disney is a Cool place to just chill for the day.

I've stayed at the Grand Californian a few times. It was particularly nice when I visited during the holiday season, because there were a few days when it was pouring rain, and I could get there quickly to change or dry my clothes before going out again. I love exploring the Grand Californian! It looks like you knew a few places I didn't know about. I've never shared that 5th floor patio with anyone when I went there, and the fireplace is awesome! Last time I visited, it wasn't in the budget to stay in, but I made sure to visit. I absolutely love looking over those balconies on the different floors overlooking the lobby. They're great spots to people watch from without being intrusive, and a great Christmas tree viewing area.

[@mon236]

I’m getting married there this December on the fifth floor patio! I absolutely love this hotel - especially during the holidays

[@kwu2242]

Thanks so much for showing that outdoor area on the upper level. I saw it in one of your previous vid's. I totally give u credit for that and enjoy relaxing there, from time to time.

[@maryjomarch5811]

This was super helpful ---we are staying next year. Great video for my planning!

[@Skippster]

I’m saving up, Bucket list hotel. Love you guys. Living the dream

[@thedisliz2987]

I cannot BELIEVE we missed you by a DAY!! I’m so mad. We love your family!!

[@clairebailey7522]

Love this video and the Grand. You need to do a video on Pixar Pier Hotel updates and their private entrance into CA.

[@froydinger]

Love that fireplace that looks so calming…

[@rickreuter4218]

Sounds like “What a Wonderful World” on the piano. Very appropriate! Great video, as always!

[@richardsullivan6258]

BIG +1 on the Craftsman Grill. Storyteller Cafe is fun, but it's expensive. You gotta do the Critter Breakfast once, but after that, the CG is a reasonably priced alternative -- the perfect place to fuel up the fam for a day at the park.

[@michellefox8959]

Loved the tour. Think we’ll be staying there on our next Disneyland trip.

[@michaeltaylor1603]

I actually stayed in the Dream Tower @ Disneyland Hotel. Grand Californian was my next choice. I also looked into Paradise Pier. My nocturnal nature drew me into both lobbies. Each hotel having lovely offerings. I love a great fireplace. Wilderness Lodge + Whispering Canyon are my favs. When I go back i will definitely stay in the Californian. Those lamp fixtures & grandfather clock are soooo cool! Thanks Provost family! National roller coaster day is August 16th. Hope you get to ride one.

[@Kenjisan66]

So glad you mentioned the Hotel hoping idea. Especially on our last night.

[@teresasharp8862]

💗 Love your videos as always, and nice to see the whole family there this time your wife does a really good critique💗 Needed this video as I’m trying to decide between staying at the grand or just the DH in the Adventure Tower🧚‍♀️

[@aaronmkeith1622]

I love Get Away Today but even on their site it is very expensive. The cheapest rates I have found is to do a DVC rental. Loved the tour! Thanks guys!

[@katebellino5499]

I just want to say THANK YOU for this tour! I am here currently and asked the guest services lady if there was an outdoor terrace besides the one in the DVC area and she said only if you are club level. My mom and I KNEW you had recently shown otherwise. I looked up your video again and sure enough! There it was… the terrace on the 5th floor. Thank you for your insight and tours! 🎉

[@nicka2256]

love how each rooms bathroom has a picture of orange orchards with Chipmunks nabbing oranges

[@dalemayfield6098]

Yo! Thanks for the preview. I’ll be staying there very soon. I’m glad to know what to expect. 😎😃

[@yvettechristensen8315]

How funny that we have stayed there several times but have never really explored the resort. We will make sure we do when we stay there in September for Oogie.

[@jbone2345]

Do Disneyland hotel next please!!!

[@greggilbert78]

Thanks Chris and Amanda. We're staying at the GCH in November for our son's wedding. Looking forward to it.

[@willrontani5894]

I had that blondie…. It IS awesome. Here is another secret. Paradise Pier Hotel is right across the street. So you can stay half price and still enjoy most of the services at the Grand Californian. (Just present your key card at the front pedestrian gate.) The DLH is too far and is like blocks away! (As Mark says: “What?!?!?”)

[@atomichurdle]

Thanks for the tour! We are planning on staying in January and love the grill when we were there last.

[@gbcocean1955]

One thing you did not show was the massive stained glass doors at the drive in entranceway..Love that entry

[@scott7858]

Great video Chris and Amanda. When I was there many years ago they had Disney movies in the courtyard. You could sit outside and watch movies and drink wine. It was fantastic. Do they still do that?

[@dalerose3500]

That's where I met Chris during the holidays. In the lobby by the gingerbread house. We are going back in the future.

[@jonswift2455]

Love your videos! I was lucky enough to stay at thr grand Californian for a company event. It was awesome!

[@TheOldGeekGuy]

Great tour of the hotel. I've probably been in their lobby 50 or more times to cool off in the summer or warm up in the winter. At first they allowed anyone to enter DCA from the hotel after 10 but I guess just guests now.

[@sandraduvall7955]

Wow we are staying at a good neighbor hotel it is our first time going. We wat h all of your videos. Lo e your humor and attention to detail. We did get genie plus but no early entry can't wait. Thanks for all you do

[@shanawhitfield6681]

I’m def going to call, and see the prices. That was just amazing!

[@juan_ton_soup_]

I liked it better when it was Whitewater Snacks! I miss the older carnitas nachos.

[@alansaunders9273]

Such a beautiful resort. Love walking thru the lobby every time I’m there.

[@skunkman9815]

Too bad a majority of the rides are intellectual property based

[@javiercortes5232]

I gave the engagement ring to my wife in the "Napa Rose". I was nervous; she had a cold, plus it was a rainy night. Before I presented her with the ring she was nagging me about how nervous/distracted I was; the waiters and manager were super nice (and the dinner was delicious). We return next October (21 or 22 trip to the parks)

[@provostparkpass]

What a fun memory. 💚💙

[@laurag9203]

Thanks Provost family!! I was wondering if you could do a video on the rides that most often and least often break down. It's always hard for my autistic son when rides shut down unexpectedly so i was curious. And it would be another way to showcase the canoes since they are always going. (Loved your video on the disability pass by the way.) 💙💚💙💚

[@gothamsangel]

I will definitely use your link for when I book here, the website is always booked up on the weekends I'm there.

[@chrisanntoelupe984]

Beautiful hotel. Thanks for the tour!

[@brucebaldwin3292]

Chris - I would love to see how to get into that little area beneath the Monorail tracks when the Monorail first enters the Grand Californian - it is full of plants and seems like a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Disney.

[@karlodesoto]

Chris, where can I get a Medium or Large t-shirt?? Love the .."aaaarrbys" one hahaha!!!

[@provostparkpass]

[@karlodesoto]

@@provostparkpass awsome!!! thanks!!!

[@luisaguilera1093]

Hey Chris I would love if you could do a Disneyland hotel tour and paradise pier hotel tour too

[@cheerfulcupcake]

Fun! I am surprised you didn't point out all the hidden things in the hall carpet... many Mickeys and, of course, Chip & Dale are hiding there 🙂 I'll be there in a 2B Villa for D23! I love the Choc Croissants in Craftsman Grill so much, they make 'em fresh for me

[@nicka2256]

Napa Rose is my favorite part of the hotel.

[@GlassJoe1337]

Thank you for the tour

[@michellesanders2527]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@Skippster]

I’ll be in that rocking chair on the third floor early in the morning.

[@Sam-02024]

I didn't know that the Grand Californian offered so much! Recharge, refresh, a little extra pampering - you said the magic words, Amanda!! REALLY appreciate the information 🙏

[@ericbrown233]

I remember back in late 2019 when y'all announced your Disney Park world tour, I was looking forward for that so much. Any chance of making it to Japan, Hong Kong, or Shanghai in the foreseeable future? Hope so. Especially for Tokyo Disney Sea. That's considered by many to be the best theme park in the world. Anyway thanks for another great video.

[@canarycream92]

Can you see the fireworks from the 5th floor balcony? If not, what can you see from there, just pools? Thanks

[@goofyrulez7914]

I spent five days there and LOVED it! It's an incredible place.

[@FusionPhantom24]

Does the little overlook behind goofys barnstormer.....overlooking Pixar pier no longer exist or allowed access? Found it easily last time we stayed there.....great view of the park at night!

[@lauxy10]

Love Miles' sword

[@thekajaproject]

for guests staying at the Grand, and wanting to use the early access perk at DCA, do you recommend using the private entrance or the main entrance? Thank you!

[@disneylandlux]

I have stayed there and found morning entry better from the main gates. They are slow at the hotel entrance and it puts you in the wrong section of the park vs the main gate

[@eduardobanaga959]

Wow

[@MagicMac100]

I don’t know if you’re going to see this in time but I’m doing to Disneyland in a couple of weeks and I wanted to know more information about photo pass and memory maker. If you can, can you please create a video about this? Is it worth it if I buy the one day pass? Will the pass work if you park hop throughout the day?

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

In Disneyland that’s cool 😎.

[@joeleon5009]

Great video Chris and Amanda! This is such a one of a kind hotel. The hallways are so awesome and I like the color brown with the trees growing on it, very clever idea. It's so cool they have a second firepit to relax by. The grandfather clock with the hidden mickey on it made me think of Frozen for a second. These full tour videos give me great information on places to stay at as I build my Disney dream vacation. Every time I hear you guys mention Get Away Today, it brings me one step closer to using them for my Disney vacations. You have a huge place in my heart and I'm so glad I got to meet you in Disneyland last year! I hope to cross paths with you again one day

[@hotrodron409]

Thanks Guys. We love that place. We were lucky to stay there 2 or 3 weeks after it opened. they had a tour that was great. if they offer it I would do it. It gave you all sorts of little known facts about the hotel. Like the carpet/tile in the lobby is the California poppy and if you notice the poppies are closed because the poppies are inside, not out in the sun and poppies close at night. Also the chandelier's are I think 1 or 2 tons apiece and they are made of copper and wood. it's been a while and I'm not sure of the weight. Anyway there are a lot of facts that we learned.

[@cheerfulcupcake]

Art of the Craft! It was a lovely tour... did it in 2018... they haven't started it back up, darn...

[@alisalazar4230]

can you do a tour of the pixar pier hotel?//

[@gordonfong7712]

Since I am new to your KZbin viewing, do you have any thing on the other two hotels that belong to Disneyland?

[@AJ87]

How far in advance should I book a trip to Disneyland?

[@CrimeTime_TvProductions]

Security turned me away in the morning I tried taking the private entry to downtown Disney

[@Jeannie6801]

In regards to pool do you have to be a guest at the hotel, have room reservations, Or can outside guest come in ?

[@oldmomj5088]

Can you go through the hotel entrance for early access?

[@markloving1718]

Hi Chris and Amanda!!🤗😍

[@markloving1718]

And Miles! (I didn't see him behind Amanda!

[@handsome526]

We can sit in the lobby and have beverages

[@frankcarrillo190]

I would like to stay at the Grand Californian and rent a cabana.

[@lisamariesanchez5868]

What access do people have to the different floors if not staying at the Grand?

[@matthewschultz3762]

Does the new early entry system apply the day you check in and/or the day you check out if you only do one or two nights as suggested in your video for doing split stays? Do you have to buy separate park tickets to match up with your hotel stay? Or does the early entry work for magic key holders who maybe do a stay cation?

[@JuliaGulia95]

Can non hotel guest take the elevator to the 5th floor?

[@princeerick11]

Chris😘😘❤️❤️

[@Skippster]

I’d never need a treadmill when visiting Disneyland…15km/ day.

And I always eat whatever I want.

What room/view was this hotel room?

[@ThePetra88888]

Not sure the name..but it should be called TERRIBLE!!😂

[@sheeditss08]

Amanda looks tired. could use the spa

[@ryanmoore3257]

Isn’t there a deck that overlooks DCA like the one you showed with the pool?

[@cheerfulcupcake]

That one is for the DVC members staying in that wing of the Building-- it's 6th floor and much smaller than the one Chris showed 🙂 You need to have a valid Villa key to get out there, I think.

[@TheNotSoFakeGilbert]

Yes, the Paradise Overlook but it is for DVC members only

[@ryanmoore3257]

Man that sucks

[@cheerfulcupcake]

@@ryanmoore3257 I paid almost $10K in Annual Dues this January, it's a Perk. There are other balconies and you can watch from inside DCA. The Deck is not big, folks crowd in there, it's not huge like the other deck.

[@cheerfulcupcake]

@@ryanmoore3257 Have you heard about Club 33? They have a Bar AND an exclusive balcony to watch shows from... Totally Sucks that just anyone can't use it.

[@natalieland9755]

Is the fitness centre free? Do you need to book?

[@TheNotSoFakeGilbert]

You just walk in with your key card

Where’s Joey?

if you aren't staying there.. how far up can you go(levels)? btw one day.. one day i'll stay there. reminds me of the yellowstone inn

i loved staying there the one time i did when i was younger, now i can't afford staying there lol

[@catlucky9815]

It's very very overpriced and really not with it.

[@cheerfulcupcake]

Try renting DVC points from a DVC broker... at least 25% cheaper, no taxes and free parking. There are a few good Brokers, make sure they are large.

stayed here 2018 was not impressed at all!!!!
