Grand Californian Getaway

13-15 January 2023

Steve flew down for a few days. We stayed at the Grand Californian (bucket list!) on the concierge level since I had an incredible discount for the holidays.

The parks were really fun together. We just took it really slow

This is the view from our balcony. Unfortunately it was too cold to swim.

But we did take advantage of the free food they had at various points in the day. The biggest draw (free alcohol) didn’t apply to us so I don’t think we will do club level again.

Pixar Pal-a-round. Still Mickey’s fun wheel in my head

Ate at the blue bayou that night. Yummy food! We had so much good food this trip

Smugglers run

It was pretty rainy but we didn’t mind. Raincoat and rain poncho and we are set.

We did guardians 3 times! Steve’s favorite ride 😊

That night we watched world of color from the balcony of the hotel. Such a cool view! afterward we hurried to have our last hour at Disneyland and they closed the park an hour early because of the rain! We had no idea and I was really upset.

Steve left the next afternoon so we just had a relaxing morning. We ate lunch at the Craftsman Grill. Incredible pizza and impossible meatballs!

We took separate ubers (him to the airport and me to my house) since my car had chosen the day before Steve came to need urgent and serious mechanical care. Despite that, we had such a great time! 💚
