Hiya, Andrea!
Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! It sounds like you'll be visiting
The Happiest Place on Earth with your very own Club of Mouseketeers! I know that this will be a very magical visit indeed. When booking a
Disneyland Resort Hotel room, there are a few options; you can book a
Disneyland Resort Vacation Package, which would provide a bed for the head
as well as a
Theme Park Admission Ticket for each person in your party. The tricky thing about this is that the ticket situation would be a one-size fits all kind of situation, so if you indicate that you have eight Guests in your room, not only will eight tickets auto-magically be added to your online shopping cart, they'll all need to be the same type of ticket, too; you won't be able to mix and match in case a few people wanted a 2-day ticket but others wanted a four, etc.
However, what might work better for your crew is if y'all book a Room Only reservation and then
purchase the tickets in another transaction. It sounds like you already have the room, now you'll just need to purchase tickets for only those who are planning on playing in the parks.
Bonus tip: if you have a few who can only stay a few days but some want to be in the magic longer, you can purchase a few tickets in one transaction and then a few more in another. You'll still all be able to join up for
Lightning Lane and
Disney Genie+ Service in the
Disneyland Mobile App later.
I hope that this helped to clEAR your question up, Andrea! Be sure to follow the
