Hello, Sarah! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am so excited that you will be staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel! I have stayed at all three and have such wonderful memories from each of those visits.
Guests are typically only allowed to use the pools at the hotel at which they are staying. You will notice that the pools require a key card to enter so only authorized Guests are allowed entry. However, if you are a Guest at either the
Disneyland Hotel or
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, you can
rent a poolside cabana at the other hotel and use those pools. The only other exception to this rule would be if the pool at your hotel is closed for refurbishment during your visit, then Cast Members at your hotel will direct you to use the pools at one of the other Disneyland Resort Hotels.
The pools at the Disneyland Resort hotels are so much fun! Each features at least one waterslide and they have dedicate food and beverage service. If you have little ones, there are life vests available to use free of charge at each hotel pool. And all the pools are a refreshing oasis after a day at the parks!
I hope this helps! Have a wonderful time enjoying your Disneyland Resort Hotel and have a fabulous visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
