Hi there Laura, welcome back to planDisney! How exciting that you're planning a trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" early next year!
I also have booked through Costco several times for our
Disneyland Resort vacations, it's such a great deal if you are a Costco member! In my experience, they usually release their packages by the end of September, so I'd keep checking their site. The waiting can make it tough for planning for the early months, but I'm hoping that they release here soon so you can book your trip!
In the meantime, I'd go ahead and explore where you'd like to stay. You cannot go wrong with one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, they are all magical in their own way!
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel is undergoing an exciting transformation into
Pixar Place Hotel, and you'll notice some of those upgrades have already taken place throughout their lobby, it's beautiful and vibrant.
I did want to let you know as well that there will be changes to how
early entry works for Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests starting January 20, 2024. Guests with a valid
theme park ticket and
theme park reservation who are checked in and staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels may take advantage of the 30-minute early entry into a designated theme park for each day of their hotel stay. You'll need to reference the
theme park calendar for the schedule, and I definitely recommend lining up your theme park reservations with the park that has early entry available that day for Disneyland Resort hotel guests. In our experience earlier this month, we were able to accomplish so much during early entry, it's such a great benefit, so I highly recommend taking advantage of it!
I hope you're able to book your trip soon Laura, I'm sending you all of the pixie dust! If we can help with any other questions as you plan your trip, please feel free to
come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
