    Hi! If I have reservations for the Grand CA on The night of Oct. 1st when does early entry apply? Can we get in early on the 1st and the 2nd

    Hi Irene! Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us another great question!

    The Happiest Place on Earth is even happier with the 70th Anniversary Celebration happening now through the summer of 2026! I'm glad to hear you're planning a vacation during this magical celebration, and I have good news for you! I'm happy to say that you can take advantage of Early Entry on both your check-in and check-out days during your stay at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

    You can also start making Advanced Dining Reservations for your stay, up to 60 days ahead of the date you wish to dine. Some of my favorite dining locations, GCH Craftsman Bar and Hearthstone Lounge, are just steps from the main lobby. If you prefer not to reserve dining in advance, both of these locations have a walk-up list you can join using the Disneyland Mobile App

    If you have more questions, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We can't wait for you to be our guest, and we would love to help!

    Wishing you magic,
    Lisa
