    If I have a lunch reservation at Pixar Place hotel but am not staying at an on property hotel, can I still use the Pixar exit and entrance to DCA since we will already be in the park?

    Magical greetings, Stefanie. Thanks for bringing us your question! I love that you've got an advanced dining reservation and you're ready to plan your route to and from Disney California Adventure (DCA) Park to maximize your time (and conserve your steps) for an awesome day.

    While you are welcome to exit Disney California Adventure Park using the Pixar Place Hotel Park exit, you can't use that same entrance into the Park unless you are a registered hotel guest - as a room key is required for access through the gate. However, another option is to use the DCA entrance at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. It would require you to walk through the hotel lobby - an excellent time to admire the amazing architecture - but does not require a room key for access. I've used both the Pixar Place Hotel and Grand Californian Park entrances, and I honestly think the overall walking distance from Pixar Place is similar. In fact, both pass right near or through the Grand Californian. Hopefully, this information helps!

    Stefanie, you'll be visiting during the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, and it's one of my favorite celebrations of the year! I love the seasonal ride overlays, Disney pals dressed in their cozy winter outfits, and the Festive Foods Marketplace in DCA. You're in for such a treat! Be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog for all of the seasonal offerings, and follow the Disney Parks Instagram for exciting news and announcements.

    Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you have a merry visit!

    See you real soon,
    Melissa
