Hi there, Debbie!
Thanks for bringing another great question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I can't wait for you to stay at the iconic
Disneyland Hotel! This is the original Disneyland Resort Hotel and holds so many nostalgic references and memories of Disneyland's historic past.
You are always welcome to check in to any Disneyland Resort Hotel at any time in the morning, but rooms are available after 3:00 PM. On numerous occasions I have checked in very early in the morning so I can take advantage of my Extra Magic Hour benefit as a hotel Guest. After checking in at the front desk, you will receive a text alert when your room is ready. On some occasions I have been surprised with my text prior to 3:00 PM. This is never guaranteed, but it doesn't hurt to check in early just in case. Check out time is 11:00 PM. Keep in mind that hotel benefits and amenities are available during your entire stay including the full day of check in and check out. Often we like to enjoy the pool after checking out so we can still enjoy the magic of our Resort Hotel.
Recently some exciting enhancements happened at the Disneyland Hotel.
Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill has been re-imagined with a fresh new Quick Service menu as well as outdoor bar seating in a terrific tiki setting. This restaurant is now the only location outside Disneyland Park to grab Dole Whip on property. You can even order an "adult" version of this famous treat with a splash of rum.
Please return if you have any other questions, and I hope your trip is practically perfect in every way!
