This weekend marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of Disney California Adventure. The second gate at the Disneyland Resort has undergone a lot of changes in the last quarter century, but one place that has remained much as it was all that time ago is the Grand California Hotel & Spa. It’s the resort’s premier hotel, which is home to the resort’s premier restaurant, the Napa Rose.
I’ve been missing the Napa Rose for the last several months as it's been closed since last March for a massive refurbishment. It’s a place to slow down from a busy theme park day and enjoy great food in a fine dining atmosphere. I was invited to preview the transformed dining room and menu at Napa Rose ahead of its February 6 reopening, and I can’t believe the best just got better.
