Hi there, Erin!
Sounds like you are planning a magical stay at the Disneyland Resort! You are going to love waking up to the magic and being just steps away from the parks.
Happy to report that as a
Guest of a Disneyland Resort Hotel, you have access to the pool on your check-out day. I have stayed a few extra hours myself to use the pools and grab a DOLE Whip after check-out with my kiddos. It was a great way to soak in those last few moments of magic and get out some energy before getting in the car and moving on to our next adventure.
Additionally, if you decide to hit the parks that day instead, you will still have access to
Early Entry! Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests can use this pixie-dusted perk on the day of arrival and their check-out day as long as their hotel reservations are linked to their Disneyland account. Sometimes, you just need a few more extra hours of magic before heading home!
When you check into the hotel, I highly recommend asking for the current list of
resort activities during your visit. It's easy to get swept away and be focused on the parks, but sometimes, there is something just as fun happening at "home" during your stay. Pixar Place is hosting Pixar Putt if you have any mini-golf fans in your party or celebrate spring by participating in the annual
Eggstravaganza throughout the resort! You can purchase a map at most merchandise locations, look for hidden eggs, keep track with the extra cute stickers provided, and win a prize! My kids honestly have loved this activity at every age.
Erin, I'm hoping this was helpful and that you are well on your way to the magic next week. If you have any more questions about your planning, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
In faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Tara
