Hi, Leisa! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for your question!
Staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel is the perfect way to stay completely immersed in the Disney magic during your trip. However, simply booking a hotel stay does not include theme park tickets. The best way to bundle your hotel reservation and theme park tickets is to book a vacation package. Packages are available at all three
Disneyland Resort Hotels and at
Good Neighbor Hotels.
With a package, you will combine your hotel, theme park tickets, and even transportation from the airport into one transaction. If you are more than 30 days out from your arrival date, you only need to pay a deposit at the time of booking. Then, you can make payments toward your package in any amount and at any time as long as your package is paid in full 30 days prior to your arrival date.
Keep in mind that you will also need
theme park reservations for each day of your stay. If you book a vacation package, you will make theme park reservations by using your vacation package confirmation number as you won't receive your actual eTickets until four days before you arrive.
I hope your trip to the Disneyland Resort is full of magic and memories!
