Hi Karin! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you found us and asked this question. I'm happy to help!
Staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel comes with some great benefits! As a guest of
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel, you will be able to enjoy
Early Entry to
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park! If you plan to visit Disney California Adventure Park, there is an entrance right across the street from Paradise Pier that's exclusive to guests staying at that hotel! I recently used it and it's so convenient to the hotel. There are a couple of different ways you can enter Disneyland Park from Paradise Pier. If you walk past the
Disneyland Hotel towards the
Downtown Disney District, there is a Monorail station. Once on the
Disneyland Monorail, it will take you to Disneyland Park and drops you off inside the park in
Tomorrowland! This is a really fun way to start the day and you can bypass any lines that might exist at the front entrance. If you prefer to enter at the main entrance of either theme park, you can walk through Downtown Disney to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
Be sure to purchase your
theme park tickets and make your
theme park reservations as soon as you are able. The
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort will be happening and it's such a magical time to visit!
Please visit us again at
planDisney if you have more questions. We would love to help you plan your vacation to
The Happiest Place on Earth!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
