Frequently Asked Questions

The Villas at Grand Californian Hotel expire in 2060, giving buyers over 34 years of remaining use.

Why Buy Grand Californian DVC Resale?

Grand Californian is the only DVC resort with a private entrance directly into a Disney theme park -- the DCA back gate is an extraordinary perk that no other DVC property offers. Combined with the award-winning Arts and Crafts architecture, Napa Rose fine dining, and a 2060 contract expiration, Grand Californian makes the strongest case for California-based DVC ownership. West Coast buyers who visit Disneyland regularly will find it unmatched in convenience.
