Kia ora, Sarah. Welcome to
planDisney!
There is something special about
Disneyland in the morning. It's cool, calm, and the characters are out. Maybe The Straw Hatters are swingin' on Main Street. It really could be an idyllic American town, only better... Also, short lines, right? I understand your concern.
Unfortunately, Disneyland Resort Hotel guests no longer get the perk of early entry at the parks. There has also been no indication that it will return. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, Sarah, but there is some good news.
Disneyland Resort Hotel guests now receive one entry to one eligible
Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction at either park, added to their
Disneyland Mobile App.
While you may not get to the front of the line of your favorite attraction in the morning, this may allow you to use the Lightning Lane at the busiest part of the day, making your day more efficient overall.
Sarah, there is so much to look forward to at the Disneyland Resort this year. Check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the
special events, festivals, and
foodie guides that cover the dates you'll be visiting. Also, there is a new mission for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, starting May 22nd! Between that and Soarin’ Across America arriving on July 2, it's a lot to look forward to.
I hope your trip is an amazing one and you're able to make countless memories. Don't hesitate to keep bringing your questions to planDisney.
