Hi Tony!
Welcome to planDisney! You are going to love staying right in the middle of the magic at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels. There is just something so special about strolling back to your hotel at night with your favorite Disneyland treat in hand (mine is a Mickey Beignet from the
Mint Julep Bar), listening to the sights and sounds of the parks, and taking it all in as you go. It's in this space that some of my best memories have been made.
I love to hear that you are planning to take advantage of
Early Entry during your visit. I have some good news for you! Provided there is availability, you can change your theme park reservations and swap out those days. I took a quick look at the
Theme Park Reservation Calendar and dates in March, April, and May are looking pretty open as of this morning. I would recommend making the change sooner rather than later as the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration kicks off May 16, 2025, and I would imagine those dates will start to fill up!
You can make these changes on the
website, but I find it easiest to modify through the
Disneyland Mobile App. When you go into the app, tap the "three lines" icon in the bottom right-hand corner. From here, select "Future Plans". This is where you will see upcoming theme park reservations. Simply click in the "Modify Reservations" button and follow the steps to make the change. Guarantee it will take you less time than a wave from Fairy Godmother's magic wand!
Now back to those sweet treats I mentioned earlier. After a full day in the parks when you are wrapping up your day and ready to head back to your hotel, wouldn't you love a fast and easy way to pick up your favorite snack? My hot tip is to place a
Mobile Order just as you are boarding your last attraction or two for the night. Head into your app and select "Order Food" from the "+" option along the bottom navigation bar. For me, I pull up Mint Julep Bar and order a hot chocolate and 6-pack of beignets (better for sharing!). Once I'm off my last attraction, I head to the location, tap "I'm Here" in the app, and my treats are ready for me to grab on my way out.
Tony, I truly hope this was helpful in your planning. Here's to the pixie-dusted adventures ahead!
