    Hi! I Just want to know if the early access for Disneyland and DCA is still available for the guests staying at the Disney Hotels.

    Hi Natalia! Welcome to my very own corner of planDisney!

    This is a great question, and I'm afraid I do have a little bit of disappointing news.

    At this time, Guests staying at the Disneyland Resort hotels do not receive an Early Entry or Early Theme Park Access benefit during their stay. I know that probably isn't the answer you were hoping for, especially because getting a head start on the day can be such a wonderful perk.

    The good news is that staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels still comes with some very magical benefits of its own. One of my favorites is that each Guest included on the hotel reservation receives a complimentary Lightning Lane Multi Pass redemption during their stay. This benefit will appear in the Disneyland mobile app once you've checked in to your hotel.

    When you're ready to use it, simply enter one of the theme parks and scan in with your admission. Once you've officially entered the park, you'll be able to redeem that Lightning Lane Multi Pass and begin enjoying shorter waits at participating attractions.

    And honestly, one of the biggest advantages of staying on property is still the location. Whether you're staying at the Disneyland Hotel, the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, or the Pixar Place Hotel, being so close to the parks makes those early mornings and late nights feel much easier and more relaxed.

    Natalia, while Early Entry may no longer be available, I think you'll find that the convenience, atmosphere, and extra hotel benefits still add plenty of pixie dust to your Disneyland vacation.

    Warm hugs,

    Ana Paula
