The Grand Californian’s EXCLUSIVE Entrance Into DCA Has Reopened!
A lot is happening around the Disneyland Resort this week!
Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary
Disneyland’s “it’s a small world” is supposed to debut its new additions when it reopens tomorrow (it’s been postponed twice already, so fingers crossed), but that’s not even the most exciting thing taking place this week. The kick-off of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration is!
And to prepare for the event’s arrival on May 16th, small–and large–projects are getting finished up around the resort…including the refurbishment of an extremely popular hotel perk.

One of the most popular perks–if not the most popular perk–that comes with staying at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has finally returned! That’s right–we’re talking about the hotel’s exclusive entrance into Disney California Adventure (DCA).

The two-month closure of the entrance allowed Disney to update the turnstiles–similar to the upgrades at the regular entrances into Disneyland Park and DCA.

In case you’re unfamiliar with this exclusive entrance, you can find it in-between Grizzly River Run and Soarin’ while in DCA…

(Fun fact: that’s not the only exclusive entrance into DCA! Pixar Place Hotel guests have their own entrance located near the security gates at the Grand Californian, which takes them into DCA, near Seaside Souvenirs and the Corn Dog Castle.)
