Greetings, Kate!
Thanks so much for bringing your great question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I can't wait for you to spend a day at
Disney California Adventure Park. You are just going to love the immersive lands, thrills, and familiar Characters you'll see in this park.
I'm also excited that you have booked a stay at one of the wonderful
Disneyland Resort Good Neighbor Hotels. These hotels offer a range of benefits like shuttle service to the parks, breakfast options, and great pools. Since there are two Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim locations, I will give you travel information for both of them. The
Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Resort Convention Center location is approximately one mile from the theme parks. If walking, you would just head east to get on South Harbor Boulevard and make your way North to the Disneyland Resort Main Entrance which will be located on your left. This hotel may also offer shuttle service to this same entrance for a fee, so you will want to double check directly with the resort. If you are staying at the
Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance, you are literally located across the street from the Disneyland Resort. You will want to walk south on South Harbor Boulevard and cross the street to get to the Main Entrance of the Disneyland Resort. Once past the security checkpoints you will be located directly between the entrances to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. You can't miss the signs above Disney California Adventure Park on your left. I hope this helps!
I recommend arriving as early as possible so you can get a chance to ride your must-do attractions with the fewest Guests in the park in the morning. Have a Fantasmic trip!
