Here is the article from the OC Register:
ANAHEIM Disney is planning to expand the Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, its high-end lodge in the
Disneyland Resort, by adding about 250 units, including the first vacation-ownership villas, the company is expected to announce today.
The expanded hotel would grow by 2.5 acres, stretching south of the hotel that opened in 2001 alongside Downtown Disney and Disney's California Adventure theme park. The Grand Californian already has 745 rooms.
The first Disney Vacation Club units on the West Coast 50 two-bedroom-equivalent villas would be part of the new area. The club is a vacation-ownership program that includes other Disney locations and associated members.
"This expansion underscores our commitment to growing and investing in both the Disneyland Resort and the Anaheim Resort Area," said Ed Grier, Disneyland Resort president, in a prepared statement.
