Hello Teresa,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for your question! It sounds like you're getting excited for your upcoming trip - it'll be here before you know it!
If you're staying at one of the
hotels of the Disneyland Resort then I'm happy to share that the answer to each of your questions here is: YES!
While
rooms at Disneyland Resort hotels are available after 3:00 PM, you can check in anytime. Additionally, if you arrive early, you can store your luggage at the Bell Desk until your room is ready!
In fact, I just did this on a recent trip. We stayed locally the night before our check-in day for the Disneyland Hotel and dropped our luggage off just before 7:00 AM. We went to the front desk to check in and were able to head into Disneyland Park for
Early Entry.
Make sure to check the
Hours & Events Schedule when you get a bit closer to your trip to see which park will host Early Entry on the morning of your arrival. This calendar is updated about six weeks out, so I'd recommend checking back around the end of May for your visit.
Additionally, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog to see all the fun that'll be happening around the Disneyland Resort during your visit!
Thanks again for your question, Teresa! I hope you have a fantastic visit to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
