Question Grand Californian parking question

I should have asked this sooner. We're going to be staying at the GC beginning Sunday for 3 nights. I've never stayed at this resort, we've always stayed at the Disneyland Hotel. I do have a question about disabled parking: Where is disabled parking for this resort? Is it across the street where I understand the general parking lot is or nearer to the hotel? I might just have to use the valet if it is.

Being disabled myself and having stayed at the GC twice already I know where the Handicap Parking was, before they added on to the resort.
As you pull up to the front door, ask the CM's where it is. It used to be just around the 'corner' from the front door and a very very short walk.

No, I believe the last day of the Expo is the day we arrive.

Yeah, we originally planned on going to all 4 days, but it's just not in the cards...we're going to try to stop in on Sunday I think and see if there is anything worth while to see.

A note about the disabled parking. When we arrived last Sunday, I pulled up to registration and the valet told me that the disabled lot was full, but that they will valet park my car with no charge, which was very welcome. I knew that they did this in WDW if you have a disabled placard, but didn't know about DLR. Anytime we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, I was always charged $17 a day for valet parking.
