Hello Tyffani! How exciting that you're planning a trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" later this summer!
Our family loves to stay at the
Disneyland Hotel. You feel the magic and nostalgia of Disney as soon as you step into the lobby! We love the convenience of being within walking distance to both theme parks and the Downtown Disney District, as well as having great dining options like Goofy's Kitchen or Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar!
Yes, Guests of the Disneyland Hotel are able to
utilize the hotel direct access gate to Disney California Adventure Park at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. It's one of the many
wonderful benefits of staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel! In order to use the entrance, you will need to have an active hotel reservation at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels, as well as a valid theme park ticket and corresponding
theme park reservation.
If you're visiting in late August, the spooky season will be upon us!
Halloween Time begins at the Disneyland Resort on August 21, 2026 through October 31, 2026. I would keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as your trip gets closer for the Halloween foodie guide and all of the spooktacular activities and entertainment to enjoy during your trip!
I hope this information is helpful for your trip planning, Tyffani! If you think of any other questions I can help with as your trip comes together, don't hesitate to
come back and ask.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
