    Hi. Would it be possible to stay at Disneyland hotel for 1 night and visit the park on checkout day? I'm concerned about the car parking at the hotel as we will finish the park late in the evening.

    Hello, Sariddisek! Welcome to planDisney. You’re headed to the Happiest Place on Earth! How cool is that? You’ve made a great choice by staying at the Disneyland Hotel! You’re on the right track to planning a magical visit.

    Yes, you can absolutely get a reservation for just one night at the Disneyland Hotel. You’re going to love it. The hotel itself has a magical feeling. There is a lot of history. The old photos on display near the elevators in the Fantasy Tower are mesmerizing! I may or may not have missed my elevator before because I got distracted by the amazing old photos. It’s all so magical. It has a retro feel, but is also very chic. It also happens to be steps from Downtown Disney, as well as the front of the parks. You simply can’t beat the location. 

    Your vehicle can stay parked in the hotel parking area, as long as you retrieve it by midnight. If you close the park down, keep an eye on the clock so you don’t get charged for another day. You can also utilize bell services at the hotel if you don’t want to leave your luggage in your car. 

    Sariddisek, if you’re planning to enjoy the parks for just one day, I’d strongly recommend purchasing a park hopper pass and adding Lightning Lane. With just one day, you’ll want to experience as much as possible. If your budget allows it, Lightning Lane Premier Pass would be your best bet, as you’ll get to use the Lightning Lane one time for each ride in the parks. You can add it 7 days before your visit, and it’s important to check right away, because availability is limited. The other option is Lightning Lane Multipass, which will also significantly increase your ability to experience the attractions you’re looking forward to.

    I hope you’re able to jam as much magic into that day as possible. If you have more questions, feel free to bring more to us at planDisney. I hope you have a magical day!
