When I did that, it now says that I need to call reservations because I can't get a quote for that many people occupying a room. I will eventually get around to doing that, but in the meantime does anyone know anything about the suites and/or have pictures of one of them? Any help would be great, thanks

But be warned, the suites at GCH are by far the most expensive of the 3 hotels. Look for any discounts you can get; AAA, Annual Passholder discount, military, senior discount etc. Have a wonderful trip!
Originally Posted By julybaby I have stayed in a regular room at the Grand but not a suite.

The other room had a queen size pull out sofa and a dining area and another bathroom. I have stayed at the Grand several times and I actually like The Paradise Pier Hotel better.
Originally Posted By smoaky I've stayed at DLH and PPH before and the Paradise Pier is actually our hotel of choice on Disney property, but we have never stayed at the Grand Californian. We are AP's but I understand the senior discount is deeper than the regular 10% AP discount. My MIL can get us a senior discount, so I thought we could splurge a little on our first stay at GCH. I've heard their rooms are somewhat smaller than the other hotels, so a suite would be ideal. Thanks for all the responses!

Originally Posted By debtee We have stayed in a two bedroom suite with concierge at the GCH, with some friends and it was great, we all had a Fantastic time. Our view from our suite was brilliant. We couldn't book the suite online we had to book on the phone. It is pricey that's for sure but we felt it was well worth the dollars and made our trip extra special. I hope you find what room/suite you are looking for.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 The rack rates are posted on disneyland.com. However, you really need to call because Disney is not very consistent and it all depends on what type of suite. A king, 2 queens, 1 room, 2 rooms, etc. I've seen the rates for a 1 bedroom suite at the Grand in the $400 to $600 a night range sometimes higher.

Originally Posted By MickeyMommy Expedia now lists suite rates as well as rooms with concierge on all 3 properties, so even if you don't plan on booking with Expedia, you can get some idea of prices. I have stayed at the GCH 3 times. The last stay we booked a DTD view with bunkbeds, and we were upgraded to a park view with bunkbeds. That was a HUGE hit with the kids (my two boys and my nephew), they just loved the bunkbeds. But in general, the rooms at the other two properties are a bit larger. But the location of the GCH cannot be beat. I think the senior discount is around 25 or 30 percent, that would make a big dent in the cost of a suite at the GCH. I would totally go for it!
