Hi there again, Kirsten! Welcome back to planDisney. Thanks for bringing more questions to us.
I’m glad to see you’ve decided to book a stay at the beautiful Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for your upcoming trip in May. Eeks! How exciting! I’m happy to report that you are able to take advantage of the
Early Entry benefits on the day you check out of the hotel. Our family always does this and it's a magical way to squeeze in some Disney fun prior to heading home. Each day, either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park will open 30 minutes early for Guests staying at one of the
Disneyland Resort hotels. Be sure have a valid theme park reservation for the park that is designated for Early Entry. You’ll just present your hotel room key when entering the park.
You’re welcome to store your luggage at Bell Services when you check out so you can enjoy the day at the parks. Just a heads up, Kirsten. It can get quite busy in the morning as other Guests will likely bring their luggage to Bell Services for storage too. Therefore, it's important to allocate plenty of time for this, especially if you’re interested in taking advantage of Early Entry.
I hope you’ll have a magical trip to the
Happiest Place on Earth. As always, if you have more questions for us, please don’t hesitate to visit
planDisney again.
