Hey there, hi there, Heather! Welcome to planDisney. We love helping Guests as they plan their visits to The Happiest Place on Earth.
It sounds like you are planning an amazing visit to Disneyland Resort! I happen to be a somewhat local Guest of the parks, so it's rare that I do an overnight stay. It's quite a treat when I turn my stay into an overnight stay, and especially if I'm staying at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels. Recently, one of my stays included Club Level, and now it's going to be hard not to have that as part of my stay. I hope you will be delighted to know that you will be able to access your club-level perks on check-in day, even if your room is not ready yet. Furthermore, you'll also be able to enjoy the lounge on check-out day for a few hours after the 11:00 a.m. checkout time. Be sure to check with the Cast Member at the desk outside the lounge for the time details. On your day of arrival, you will also be able to enjoy other hotel amenities, like the pools. Of course, I like to arrive early, drop my bags at Bell Services, and head straight into the parks.
There's not a bad time to visit between now and the end of the year. Whether you are planning a
spooky visit in the next week, want to catch
Paint the Night before it pauses for the end of the year, or are planning a
holiday visit, magic awaits! I recommend checking the
Hours and Events Schedule to see hours, entertainment, and more happening in the parks and
Downtown Disney District.
Heather, we are here for any questions you might have as you plan your visit. Thanks for stopping by!
