Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, Virginia!
You're as welcome as can be here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, so thanks for your wonderful question. I'm excited you are planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!
While there are so many
amazing benefits and perks to staying on property at one of the three
Disneyland Resort Hotels, theme park
tickets are not included with hotel stays. You will need to purchase theme park tickets separately from your room or you can bundle them together with a convenient
Vacation Package.
I'd love to tell you some of the reasons why I personally love staying on property. First, as a hotel guest, you will have exclusive access to an Extra Magic Hour every day in either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park (with your valid park ticket). This allows you to experience the parks before they open to the general public letting you ride attractions with very little wait time and enjoy the parks with less guests. I also am a huge fan of the dining options available at all three of the Disneyland Resort Hotels. Some of my favorites are Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, Napa Rose, and GCH Craftsman Grill. All three hotels also offer amazing pools with water slides.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions. Have a Fantasmic day!
