The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa are the crown jewel of the Disneyland Resort — a masterpiece of Arts & Crafts architecture with its own private entrance directly into Disney California Adventure park. Renting points here is the only way to own the DVC experience at Disneyland, at a fraction of the hotel's published rates.
The warm, wood-and-stone Deluxe Studios and one- and two-bedroom villas open onto a grand timbered lobby, and the location is unbeatable: a private gate into California Adventure and a short walk to Downtown Disney and Disneyland park.
Demand for these villas is exceptionally high. Tell us your travel dates and we'll find you the best available points price.

Renting Grand Californian points: FAQ
How many points do I need to rent Grand Californian?
The number of Disney Vacation Club points required at Grand Californian depends on the villa type, the view, the season, and the night of the week — a weeknight Deluxe Studio in a value season needs far fewer points than a weekend in a larger villa over a holiday. You can see the exact points for every room type and date on the Grand Californian point chart, and our Check Availability tool prices your specific dates for you.
How much does it cost to rent points at Grand Californian?
Renting DVC points at Grand Californian is priced per point, so your total depends on how many points your dates require. Renting is typically up to 50% less than Disney's published cash rate for the same room. Enter your dates in our Check Availability tool for an exact, all-in quote with no hidden fees.
What villa types can I rent at Grand Californian?
At Grand Californian you can rent Deluxe Studio, 1-Bedroom Villa, 2-Bedroom Villa, 2-Bedroom Lock-Off Villa, and 3-Bedroom Grand Villa. Availability varies by date, so we recommend checking early for the room type and view you want.
Do I need to be a Disney Vacation Club member to rent points at Grand Californian?
No. Renting points is how non-members — and members who need a few extra points — stay at Grand Californian. We make the reservation in your name using our members' points; you simply check in and enjoy your stay.
Is renting points at Grand Californian cheaper than booking through Disney?
Yes. Booking Grand Californian by renting DVC points is generally up to 50% cheaper than reserving the same villa directly through Disney at the standard cash rate — which is why renting has become such a popular way to stay in Deluxe Villa accommodations.
