Designed to capture the artistic exploration of California's coastlines, with its Monterey pines and redwood forests, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel is layered with the memories of the arroyo craftsman, the mission pioneers, the Plein Air school of painters and daring architecture. Whimsical décor touches feature famous woodland friends, such as Bambi, Thumper and Owl.
