Disney4me Posted September 14, 2021 Report Posted September 14, 2021 For some time now, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has been without the spa part. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa ©Disney The Mandara Spa inside the Grand Californian closed in July of 2019, and since then Disney announced their plans to replace it with the Tenaya Stone Spa. The opening of Tenaya was delayed but it’s now scheduled to open on September 16th. Today we were invited to attend an event to get a first look at this new spa space, and you can come along to check it out! Atmosphere Dawn Jackson, a Native American cultural advisor, has said that the spa’s name, Tenaya, can be “interpreted ‘to dream’ in the indigenous culture of the Yosemite Valley,” and the spa is “inspired by the spirit of nature and California heritage.” The Tenaya Stone Spa at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel A Walt Disney Imagineering art director named Katrina Mosher explained that the spa is designed to reflect “the natural order of 4,” as the space is aligned with 4 directions and 4 colors. It’s a beautiful new space. Natural features are all around the spa, with many rock, wood, and stone elements. Even the chandeliers fit the theme. The floor of the spa got in on the theme as well. This looks like the perfect place to hunt for hidden Mickeys! The floor is made of hundreds of wooden circles. What did we tell you? Oh, look! A Mickey! There are also several products available for purchase at the spa. There’s a line from Volupsia… It’s all in the details. …and a collection of bath bombs. They’ve got everything from Lavender to Evergreen Twist to Sunrise Sunset. Relax with a bath bomb! They also have robes and towels available, as well as headbands. Everything just looks so plush and comfy! How comfy do those robes look?! And the spa even has its own line of soaps. These are made into Loofah Bars, so they’ll help you exfoliate — your skin will be softer than a baby’s! Its own line of soaps! We could spend all day in here just checking out the beautiful merchandise. Is this the most relaxing shop in Disneyland Resort? Maybe! This whole entrance room is stunning. And even the waiting area is serene. There are several lounge chairs in here where you can kick back and relax before your day at the spa begins. The waiting room is beautiful. It’s all highlighted by a stunning stained-glass window as the centerpiece. There’s some serious detail put into this craftsmanship. We want one of these in our homes! So what does this beautiful spa have to offer? Well, let’s discuss some of the services! Services Services currently offered include body treatments, massages, and salon services, as well as massages and manicures/pedicures. There’s a room for manicures and pedicures. Reservations are open, but at this time only guests of Disneyland Resort hotels (Grand Californian, Disneyland Hotel, and Pixar Pier Hotel) can book services. Services will open up for non-hotel guests at a later date. Or you could get a luxury hair treatment! The full-service salon will be opening as soon as possible, but not with the grand opening of the spa itself. We’ll keep you updated with the details! So many ways to pamper yourself! We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely tempted to start planning our own spa day here. It looks like it’s going to be a great addition to the Grand Californian Hotel. We’re definitely tempted to book a massage! And that was our first look around the Tenaya Stone Spa!
