Creator's Key Takeaways

There is no resort better when going to Disneyland, to me at least, than the Grand Californian.

It is definitely going to be one of the most expensive resorts on and off property um that you're going to find in that Disneyland area.

But locationwise, you're not going to beat that.

It is a luxury and expensive hotel. However, the value is there, right?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check if Princess dining is under refurbishment before booking.
Use the private entrance to Disney California Adventure to save time on security lines.
Book a room with a king-size bed or club level for more comfort.
