Hi there, Genevieve, and welcome to planDisney!
It's a pleasure to see you here and thanks for submitting your question to us! First of all, congratulations on your hotel choice! I'm a big fan of Disneyland history and the original
Disneyland Hotel has always been my favorite of the three official Resorts. I love how the displays and the rooms pay homage to the Resort's past.
You are more than welcome to continue using all the facilities and amenities on the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel on your departure day even after check-out, until midnight. This includes the
Pools of the Disneyland Hotel. Just keep your room key because you'll need it to get your wristband for entry into the Pool Deck area. Towels are provided and there are showers available in the changing area with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in dispensers. You may also have the Bell Desk hold on to your bags so you don't have to carry them around with you while you're enjoying the Pool.
I did speak to a Cast Member at the Hotel to confirm the above information and I inquired about the strength of their WiFi on the Pool Deck. She mentioned that it's fairly strong, so you shouldn't have a problem if you need to connect for work. I do hope that you get to enjoy yourself, though! Please note that they will have transitioned to Winter Pool hours by your visit, which are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Don't forget that you also have access to the Pool at
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, the Disney Vacation Club property! It might be a little quieter over there if you do need to get some work done.
Genevieve, I wish you the most magical and festive visit to the Disneyland Resort and I hope you enjoy all the
decorations! It's one of the most beautiful times to visit and I'm sure you'll come away with some wonderful memories. Please return to us if you have any more questions. We're always happy to help!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
