Hiya, Lucas!
Thank you so much for sending this
Disneyland Resort vacation planning question to us hEAR at planDisney!
Oh Boy! Your visit to
The Happiest Place on Earth will be around the same time that the decor starts to magically transform into a winter wonderland. If you feel like you woke up to flurries of fun or jolly holly that wasn't there the night before, it's not your eyes playing tricks on you, it truly is the magic of Mickey and his
Holiday handy helpers!
I just now ran through the process of trying to book a room at
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel over your same dates and I see exactly what you mean, Lucas. Your best option will be to book your hotel as a "Room Only" stay by selecting the 'No Ticket' bubble on page 2 of the hotel reservation checkout screen. Then, once you've reserved the bed for your head, go back to the Disneyland.com homepage and purchase your 1-day Park Hopper
Theme Park Admission Ticket(s) in a separate transaction. The two purchases will connect auto-magically in your
My Disneyland Account and your
Disneyland Mobile App, and you'll still qualify for
Early Entry privileges as a Disneyland Resort Hotel Guest.
Bonus Tip: Be sure to check out the recently reopened walking path from Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel to the back-gate entry of
Disney California Adventure Park, complete with its own bag check area. You'll be able to enter and exit the park near
Corn Dog Castle, which is right next to
Goofy's Sky School.
I hope that this helped to plan your upcoming Disney days just the way you want them, Lucas! Be sure to follow the
official planDisney Panel Instagram account for even more tips and tricks. And if you have any more
