Get to the Grizzly Bear Run Fastpass booth as EARLY in the day as you can. Line up as early as you can as well & believe me, you will have the best view!
The best time to grab seats is after people have viewed the first showing and fireworks.. Once they start leaving you can creep your way in!
6th Floor terrace has a great view of California Adventure. You can even catch a pretty good view of World of Color!
Loved the view over the pools from the 10th floor in the Dreams Tower - construction yes but it's great to see so much new development going into the Disneyland Hotel! Comfortable, elegant room, too.
Sit in the spot that has a view of Radiator Spring Racers & you have built in entertainment. Don't miss the decorations on the walls!
