Hey howdy hey, Jennifer! Aloha and a warm welcome back to planDisney! Your visit is just around the corner, and I imagine you are getting very excited!
Staying onsite at one of the three
Disneyland Resort Hotels is always the perfect way to be fully immersed in the magic and embrace that special ‘ohana spirit of the Disneyland Resort! One of the biggest perks, at least for me, is the feeling that the magic never ends while you are there. From start to finish, you are in the Disney bubble, surrounded by fun, excitement, and those little moments of pixie dust everywhere you look.
Jennifer, early entry concluded for Disneyland Resort Hotel guests in January 2026. In its place, there is a new perk that genuinely makes me happy! Hotel guests now receive one
Lightning Lane entry for an eligible attraction that can be redeemed at any available time, at either theme park.
To use this perk, be sure you have the
Disneyland Mobile app downloaded with your hotel reservation linked to your Disneyland account. The Lightning Lane will then appear in your app, ready to be redeemed at the eligible attraction of your choice! I sent my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew on a Disney Grand Californian vacation earlier this year, and they absolutely loved having that extra Lightning Lane to make their day even more magical.
To make the most of your visit, consider purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi Pass for even more faster access to the magic throughout the day! This separately purchased option also includes unlimited digital downloads from
Disney PhotoPass, giving you beautifully captured memories to treasure long after you return home.
Jennifer, I hope your upcoming visit is filled with magic and memories, and is practically perfect in every way!
See you on Main Street, U.S.A.!
