Grand Californian Hotel
The last major piece of this Disneyland Resort expansion is the Grand Californian Hotel. This 750-room hotel is the first highly themed hotel for the Disneyland Resort. The theme, in this case, is reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and features a six-story lobby. The Grand Californian Hotel is the first hotel to be located inside a Disney theme park. Hotel guests will have an exclusive entrance into DCA and many rooms offer a view into the new park.

The Grand Californian will have two sit-down restaurants. The Napa Rose is the upscale restaurant with 200 seats and an extensive collection of California wines. The restaurant has a 20-foot tall stained glass wall that looks toward DCA. Storytellers Cafe offers more casual dining with a wide selection of American comfort foods as well as wood-fired pizzas and fresh fish. Breakfast at the Storytellers Cafe will be a character meal offering a buffet or a la carte items. Other dining locations include the Napa Rose Lounge with appetizers and wines by the glass and Whitewater Snacks, a pool side snack bar with pizza, burgers and hot dogs.

A kiddie pool shaped like Mickey Mouse and a quiet pool are also available. The Eureka Springs Health Club with spas and massage parlors round out the guest amenities. Also located in the lobby will be the Acorns Gifts and Goods gift shop.
