Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa - construction is well on its way with an expected completion date in late 2009. A new wing of the hotel is being added and will feature additional rooms for sale. Since the majority of construction activity takes place on a work site not yet connected to the current hotel, they have minimized the amount of noise disruption to guests. Most work is conducted in daylight hours.
Disneyland Hotel scheduled for remodel - beginning in August 2009.

There is no need to save your shopping until the end of the day when the Disneyland shops will be crowded with visitors looking for last minute souvenirs. Both parks offer 'Package Check Service' where you can check your purchases and pick them up at the end of the day.
In the Disneyland Park, this service is offered at the Newsstand, Premier Shop and Pioneer Mercantile. In Disney's California Adventure you can check your purchases at Engine Ears Toys. Guests staying at one of the three Disneyland Hotels can check their packages and request delivery to their hotel. (These packages will be delivered after 7:00am the following day.)
