Grand Californian

 

We usually stay at the Disneyland Hotel, but this time we got a great rate at the Grand Californian. It's a beautiful property, and its location between Disneyland and California Adventure can't be beat. We love the craftsman style theming.

We had a great view of the Paradise Pier area of California Adventure from our balcony.

We swam in the pool and, after completing a scavenger hunt Monday afternoon, were named "Family of the Day". That night we got to hang out in the concierge lounge, had free snacks, and listened to a story.

Tuesday morning we enjoyed a breakfast at Storyteller's Cafe. The buffet was good and the kids had fun meeting characters. We then spent the day in the parks and headed out Tuesday night. Wednesday we drove back to Bend.
