From one Oregonian to another, welcome to planDisney, James. Thanks for stopping by to share this question with us. Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is practically here and it won't be long until you are skipping down Main Street, U.S.A. Can you smell the popcorn?
One of the best parts about staying at the
Disneyland Resort hotel (besides staying in the magic) is the early entry benefit. You most certainly can modify your theme park reservations to align with which theme park is offering the
early entry benefit. You can do this at the Disneyland site by visiting "Ticket and Reservation Details" found under the heading "My Disneyland" toward the top right. Next, click on "Make or Modify Park Reservations" followed by "Modify Reservation" to make changes to the park that you would like to visit (or start at). If you happened to book a vacation package through Costco, you won't see the option to "Modify Reservation" and will have to cancel and rebook your theme park reservations. If this is the case, make sure to check the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar before canceling your reservation to ensure that your visit date is still available.
I love staying at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The direct entrance to Disney California Adventure Park can't be beat and being nestled in all of the pine trees makes me feel at home. The
Lunar New Year Celebration will also be taking place during your visit. Make sure to stop by Paradise Gardens to make a wish and add it to the Wishing Wall (a must for me).
James, I hope this is helpful and that you're able to make all of the changes that your heart desires before your visit. Have a magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
