Welcome, Edith!
We're so happy you made your way to our magical corner of the internet. We love helping fellow Guests plan their visits to the Disneyland Resort and sharing our favorite tips along the way. It sounds like you are planning a special two-day visit! That is a great amount of time to feel like you have explored all the corners of Disneyland and California Adventure.
You are going to love staying at one of the
three hotels on property. In addition to the pixie-dusted perks and proximity to the parks, there is nothing like wandering back to your room at the end of a park day, humming your favorite Disney tune, snacking on a sugary churro, and then waking up in the magic to do it all over again. I have great news for you. If you are a Guest of the Disneyland Hotel, Grand Californian, or Pixar Place, you will have access to
Early Entry on your check-in and check-out day. You will be able to take advantage of 30 magical extra minutes in the parks ahead of park opening on both of your park days - hooray! Note that only one park per day will open early for hotel Guests, so I recommend taking a look at the
Park Hours ahead of time and aligning your theme park reservations with the park offering Early Entry each day.
I like to give Guests a heads up that you will be able to use the
Direct-to-Room Service to check in to your hotel reservation 5 days ahead of your arrival. This will allow you to let the hotel know what time you plan to arrive, set up your billing, and make any available requests. What I love about this feature is that if you sign up for text communication, you will be alerted as soon as your room is ready. With the digital room key feature in the Disneyland app, you don't have to waste a magical minute stopping by the front desk before heading to your room. While you are out and about in the parks, don't forget that you can also charge dining and merchandise purchases back to your room as long as you provided a credit card during the check-in process.
Edith, I hope this has been helpful and we've set you up for a magical visit full of unforgettable memories! When you check in, I also recommend asking for a list of
resort hotel activities. There is always something fun, fanciful, and unexpected happening at the resorts! If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
See ya real soon!
