We have ressies for the Grand Californian in early November and I was curious about the hotel's entrance to DCA. Do you have to be a guest at the GC to use it? My son & his GF will be staying off-site and will probably meet us at our hotel for breakfast. Will they be able to use this entrance with us, even though they are not GC guests? Also, can you get back into the hotel via this gate...like to get some dry clothes after the Grizzly Rapids...?

Probably silly questions, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
