Hi Mary Ann, welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited about your upcoming trip to the
Disneyland Resort! You picked a great time to visit. The weather will be near perfection, typically averaging around the mid-70's, with the warm sun out and shining for everyone to enjoy! And a great choice in deciding to stay at
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. I just checked with Mickey and his pals, and you have a few different options for theme park entrance.
For
Disneyland Park, I recommend boarding the
Monorail at the
Downtown Disney District station. This will allow you to skip the Main Entrance Front Gates and go straight to Tomorrowland! The Disneyland Monorail is set for refurbishment from February 14, 2022 to March 6, 2022, so it should be ready to go by the time you arrive! Another great option for hotel Guests only is taking a shortcut through
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, which is right across the street from Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has an entrance directly into the Downtown Disney District, and from there, you can walk up to the Main Entrance Front Gates of Disneyland Park!
For
Disney California Adventure Park, the best option, which is for hotel Guests only, is again taking a shortcut through Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has a special entrance that leads directly into Disney California Adventure Park!
The amazing Cast Members will be able to give you detailed directions when you arrive at the hotel. But in the meantime, the
Disneyland Resort website has an excellent map giving a bird's eye view!
If you have any more questions, please do come back!
See ya real soon!
