Hi there, Marguerite, welcome back to planDisney!
Your visit to the
Disneyland Resort will be here before you know it! It's exciting to know that you'll be experiencing the
Disneyland Hotel, it is our family's favorite home away from home.
Staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel has many
perks and amenities, in addition to proximity, guests can
charge purchases at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and select Downtown Disney District merchandise locations directly to their hotel room. To do this, make sure that your
Disney account used for the reservation is linked to your
Disneyland app. At this time, there is no capability to charge purchases using a
Magic Band+ at the Disneyland Resort. I know our friends at Walt Disney World Resort have that capability, so hopefully we see that feature on the West Coast one day! You can still link a Magic Band+ though for fun interactions throughout the resort and scanning entry to the parks.
While you're in town, I recommend visiting the new
Palm Breeze Bar at
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, located in the new Discovery Tower. I love the retro vibes and open air dining experience. Depending on when you're in town in April, at
Disney California Adventure Park you can experience the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival through April 22 and
Pixar Fest begins April 26. Over at
Disneyland Park,
Star Wars Season of the Force runs from April 5 - June 2.
Well, Marguerite, I sure hope that helps. I love the ease and convenience of the app, it comes in very handy! Have safe travels to the Happiest Place on Earth! Feel free to
pop back over if you have any other questions before you visit!
Adventure awaits!
Camille
