Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
A Disneyland Resort guest reported an alarming “security issue” at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa over the weekend. The Disney Resort hotel guest spoke out on social media after Disney cast members allegedly didn’t provide any details about the incident.
Unlike Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort only offers three on-property Disney Resort hotels: Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel, and the recently-rethemed Pixar Place Hotel. All offer early theme park entry and are within walking distance from Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Downtown Disney District.

Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is a premiere lodging experience, offering luxurious spa services at Tenaya Stone Spa and three themed pools: the Redwood Pool, Fountain Pool, and Mariposa Pool. It’s home to two restaurants, Napa Rose and Storytellers Café. The former is one of Disneyland Resort’s finest dining experiences; the latter offers Disney Character Dining at breakfast and hearty, homestyle meals in the afternoon and evening.
Even the most tranquil Disney Resort hotels can’t escape some of the chaos and stress of a Disney Parks vacation. Redditor u/hollaback_girl recently experienced this first-hand when they witnessed a “security issue” at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

“Sometime between 10:00 and 10:30 tonight there was a brief lockdown around [Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa],” the Disney Park guest wrote.
They asked a Disney cast member what was happening, but they would only say it was a “security issue.” No other guest reports emerged on social media.

When my family and I were at Club 33, in Disneyland, a fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate to where the train depot in New Orleans Square was. The good thing was we got more time there when the alarm was cleared. The staff was wonderful!
My husband sank a sailboat on Seven Seas Lagoon between the Polynesian Villge Resort & the Magic Kingdom. The wind blew it over and instead of righting itself, it started sinking. Immediately the security team for the marina rushed out to get him. He told them that they ought to pull the boat back in, but they said they couldn’t, that it was their responsibility to take him back to the marina first. When he told them that it was sinking, and they needed to at least mark where it was, they told him no these boats don’t ever sing. We wound up spending two hours watching divers go down to locate the boat. It turned out half of the hull didn’t have the flotation filler in it.
