One other perk of staying at the Grand Cal is walking through DCA on your way to Disneyland (or the other way if on your way to the room for a break) if you have a hopper or Magic Key. We find the security at the park entrance to be a bit friendlier and we love the theme of the Grizzly Trail and Buena Vista street. Take some time to stop and look at the theming of the (usually) dry river that separates the park from the hotel, the beautiful windows of Napa Rose, etc..
One downside, we occasionally will get flagged for going through DCA too fast and a supervisor will have to approve to let us in to Disneyland.
Except you can't hop until 11 am now.
