Hiya Sara! Welcome back to planDisney.
You are visiting Disneyland during the
most wonderful time of the year! The holidays at the Land are the perfect manifestation of pixie dust, gingerbread, tinsel, and magic! The
Pixar Place hotel will be decorated to the nines. It is the merriest way to ring in the New Year!
It's fantastic that all guests of the Disneyland Resort Hotel Collection (Grand Californian, The Disneyland Hotel, and Pixar Place) have
Early Entry into the parks during your visit. That extra 30 minutes can set the tone for a fun-filled day! Check the
theme park schedule, but you can anticipate that each park will have early entry on opposite days. Typically, Disneyland is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, while California Adventure is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
You are more than welcome to use the Grand Californian entrance to get into California Adventure. If you walk across Disneyland Drive and through the hotel, you will enter
Grizzly Peak. (Make sure to give yourself a few moments to wander through the hotel lobby, it is one of the
prettiest Disney hotels during the holidays!) For Disneyland, the easiest thing to do is jump on the Monorail, which will drop you off in Tomorrowland.
Sara, I wish you the most magical start to your New Year. If you have any other questions, you know where to find us!
