Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa Reopening on April 29th, 2021

Hi everyone!

With the announcement of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure reopening to guests on April 30th, 2021 (to California residents only at first), Disneyland Resort also has announced the reopening of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa on April 29th, 2021 with limited capacity.

Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will plan to reopen May 2. Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel will reopen at a later date.

Disney says about the reopening:

The health and well-being of guests and cast members remain a top priority. Just as the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort reopened with enhanced health and safety measures, operational changes will be in place at the theme parks and hotels to align with guidance from health authorities and learnings from our parks around the world to promote physical distancing, enhanced cleanliness and reduced contact. This guidance is fluid and applicable at any given time as community situations change. With that guidance, many factors will determine the timing of when offerings may be available. Cast members will be available to explain our new procedures and answer questions you may have.

Don’t expect all restaurants and shops to be available at reopening. In Florida we’ve had our Walt Disney World theme parks open since last July and not all resorts, restaurants, shops, etc. are open yet. They have been opening slowly since then. It is exciting to see Disneyland finally starting a phased reopening!
