    Hi do we need to pre book swimming or can we just arrive and go in?

    Hello there, Daniel, and welcome to planDisney!

    Oh wow, it seems that your arrival date to the Disneyland Resort is today! How exciting! It's my pleasure to welcome you to The Happiest Place on Earth and I wish you and your family a magical stay!

    I'm happy to report that, if you are staying at one of the three Disneyland Resort Hotels, you are welcome to use the Pool facilities at your respective hotel as soon as you arrive on your check-in date even if your room is not yet prepared. There are changing facilities and showers provided, so feel free to set up shop and play at the pool until you get the notification that your room is ready (you did sign up for online check-in and notifications through the Disneyland Mobile App, right?). The Bell Desk would be more than happy to hold on to your luggage while you explore the pool. A Cast Member pool attendant will take down your room number and give you a wristband, allowing you entry to the pool. No reservation or pre-booking is required.

    If you and your party are interested, reservations are required for renting a Poolside Cabana. This would serve as your own private base from which to relax and enjoy the various pool activities. 

    Daniel, I hope that your visit is a magical one and that you enjoy the wonderful Holiday Season offerings! Which hotel did you select? My favorite has always been the original Disneyland Hotel, but be sure to take a glance in the lobbies of the others! They each have so much to offer. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again. You're always welcome at planDisney!

    Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!

Meet the Panelist: Al, California

Ahoy there from the heart of Steinbeck Country in central California! I've been visiting the Disneyland Resort since childhood and fell in love with the sense of absolute immersion that the Imagineers have achieved. My favorite attraction is Pirates of the Caribbean because where else can you go from a California day to an evening boat ride in the bayou with "salty old pirates"? I'm a veterinarian and an all-around Disney geek and enthusiast. I'd love to help you plan your next Disneyland trip! Learn More About Al
