Welcome to planDisney, Lizbeth! Thank you so much for sharing your question with us.
It sounds like you are aware of the
Early Entry benefit at Disneyland Resort. Indeed, this benefit is reserved exclusively for Guests of the
three Disneyland Resort hotel properties: The Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and Pixar Place Hotel. Currently, Early Entry grants you 30 extra minutes of time in the theme parks, prior to regular opening hours. It's definitely a magical way to start the day!
Lizbeth, whether you choose a Disneyland Resort hotel property or a Good Neighbor Hotel, you might consider choosing to book a
Disneyland Resort Vacation Package, which reserves your accommodations and your multi-day theme park tickets in one single transaction. Plus, you can secure your reservation with an initial deposit, then make payments toward the final balance in the amounts you prefer, up until the final payment is due 30 days before your check-in date. It is nice to have that level of flexibility as you prepare your travel logistics!
I hope these are some helpful suggestions for now, Lizbeth, and as you have other questions that come up in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to
planDisney again. We'd love to lend our personal advice and best recommendations to make your next visit extra magical!
Blue Skies and Sunshine,
