Designed in California s renowned Arts and Crafts style, Disney s Grand Californian Hotel is an architectural triumph. Throughout this building a rare combination of elegance and Disney comfort can be felt in every square inch. From the breathtaking lobby, beautiful chandeliers, and elegant rooms, this hotel is a true testament to Disney creativity and vision. The spark of imagination where does it come from? For the Disneyland Resort, that spark is ignited by the Imagineers. Over 50 years ago, when Walt Disney was planning the theme park of his dreams, he turned to the most creative people he knew the artists responsible for the awardwinning animated movies of the Walt Disney company. He hand selected this group to visualize, design and build Disneyland park. Today, the Imagineers are responsible for every Disney theme park throughout the world. But we will always remember it all started in an orange grove in Southern California. www.disneylandmeetings.com 1
