The DIS has confirmed that Pinocchio’s Workshop, the childcare facility at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, will be closing.
While the Grand Californian is in the middle of a major refurbishment of its rooms and public spaces, Cast Members we spoke to said that the closure is more a result of the space being underutilized. Guests of the Disneyland Resort Hotels were just not using the service.
The last day of operation for Pinocchio’s Workshop is March 11, 2017.
Tom is the host and producer of the DIS Unplugged: Disneyland Edition podcast, plus Disneyland Editor of The DIS. He enjoys traveling with his wife and teenage son.
