    Hello, my family and I will be visiting Disneyland during the January 2025 RunDisney Marathon weekend. We are staying on property. Do you know if early entry will still be offered to hotel guests during race weekend?

    Welcome to planDisney Melisa!

    How exciting that your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is coming up so soon!  It is always so nice to have a vacation to look forward to after the holiday season.

    The hours & events calendar does not extend to that last weekend in January just yet, but early entry was still available to Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests last year during the runDisney weekend.  The parks may open a bit later than usual and early entry may be moved back a bit, but it was still available.  I did speak with a Cast Member, and they let me know that the hours & events calendar should be available 6 weeks in advance, which is coming up very soon, and that they had not heard of early entry not being offered during that weekend.   

    My best advice is to keep an eye on the hours & events calendar as your trip gets closer, and ensure that your theme park reservation matches which park is offering early entry for Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests that day.  I like to confirm with the hotel front desk what time the security entrance into the Downtown Disney District opens, and try to arrive at least 30 minutes prior so you can be some of the first Guests to arrive at the gates!  

    I hope this is helpful for your trip planning, Melisa!  If you think of any other questions before your trip, please come back and ask, we're here to help!

    Have a magical day,
    Melissa
