Hi there, Lindsay, and thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. The
Disneyland Hotel is such a pixie-dusted place to stay, from the whimsical teacup chairs in the lobby to the magical headboards in your room! So let’s chat about reserving a stay at this special hotel.
You have impeccable timing because booking for
Disneyland Resort hotels just opened this week for 2026 stays! And there’s even a brand new perk rolling out next year. Starting January 5, 2026, Disneyland Resort hotel guests will get one complimentary
Lightning Lane entry for an available
Multi Pass attraction during their stay (valid park admission and a park reservation will be needed to redeem it). This replaces the current Early Entry perk. I’m not a morning person, so I love the flexibility of being able to access a shorter ride queue later in the day!
April will be the practically perfect time to visit Disneyland because the
70th celebration festivities will be going on through summer 2026. I’m most excited for the lineup of amazing entertainment for the occasion. There are so many nighttime spectaculars and parades going on, like
The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade and
Paint the Night Parade. I first saw this incredible parade many years ago at Hong Kong Disneyland and can’t wait to see it coming down Main Street, U.S.A. at the park that started it all! Check out the
70th Anniversary Guide on the Disney Parks Blog so you don’t miss any of the festivities!
Since you’ll be staying at the Disneyland Hotel, I wanted to mention one last thing before I go. Currently, there’s a Disneyland Hotel Tour a few days a week that you can sign up for at the Front Desk. I loved learning more about the hotel’s history and checking out a few hidden gems around the grounds. As you get closer to your stay, you’ll find the schedule on the
Hours & Events Calendar. Be sure to select Hotels of the Disneyland Resort, and available tours will come up under Events & Entertainment on days that they’re running.
I’m wishing you a magical stay at the Disneyland Hotel in April! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome at planDisney.
