Hey there, Desiree. Thanks for visiting planDisney!
The direct entrance into
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is one of my favorite ways to enter
Disney California Adventure (DCA) Park. To utilize this convenient theme park entrance, you must have a park reservation for DCA and a valid
theme park admission ticket. While all Guests are welcome to use this location to exit the theme park and enter the Grand Californian Hotel, there may be occasions when Cast Members may limit entering the theme park from this location. Desiree, this has never happened to me and I've been using this entrance for two decades - since DCA first opened! However, on occasion, usually during busy times of the year, they may limit this entrance to registered hotel guests or those with hotel
dining reservations. Should you have any questions about this on the day of your visit, I recommend checking with a Cast Member or at the Front Desk before walking to the hotel's theme park entrance. However, I think you should have no problem enjoying this entrance!
Desiree, did you know there is a direct entrance into Disney California Adventure Park for
Pixar Place Hotel Guests, too? To access this entrance, you need to be a Guest at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels and have a room key to scan. My
planDisney pal Michelle did an awesome
demonstration of this direct entrance on the
planDisney Instagram. It's worth a watch!
I hope this information helps, Desiree. If you still have questions or have other planning needs,
please visit me again. I'd be happy to help!
See you in the parks,
Melissa
