Hey there, John! Thanks for stopping by planDisney. It looks like you are thinking about planning a trip to The Happiest Place on Earth during the most magical time of year!
While there are many benefits of staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, theme park ticket reservations are not guaranteed. Currently,
theme park ticket reservations can be booked 120 days out. This means if you purchase a
Disneyland Resort Hotel Package for December 2022, you will not be able to make your theme park ticket reservations quite yet. If you book a Disneyland Resort Hotel Package, your eTickets will link to your Disney account four days before your arrival date. However, you can link your hotel reservation once you have purchased your package and through that reservation link, you will be able to make your theme park ticket reservations once the dates are available.
Just today, Disney Parks Blog announced new and returning
perks of staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel. Early Entry is back starting August 8, 2022, where Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests can enjoy 30 minutes in the park before park opening. On that date, package delivery will resume as well. This means you can have your park purchases delivered to your room the next day, so you don't have to carry them around with you through the parks and on attractions. The date has not been announced, but soon Guests will have Preferred Dine Access, which allows Guests to have access to a limited amount of reservations at select hotel table service locations during the days of your hotel stay. And there are even more advantages, so be sure to check out that article!
John, thanks again for stopping by planDisney with your question. We are always here to help, so please stop by anytime with your planning questions!
