Hi there Marisa! Welcome to planDisney, we're so glad you're here with your great planning question!
How exciting that your trip to the
Disneyland Resort is coming up so soon! You absolutely can visit the parks on the 8th even if you are checking out of your hotel that day. We have done that many times, and we have packed up our luggage, and left it at Bell Services at our hotel so we could go enjoy some time in the parks. If that works out for your schedule and flight times, it should be no problem to leave your luggage at the hotel while you go enjoy some magic before it's time to leave!
I would make sure that you have your
theme park reservations secured to accompany your theme park tickets for each day that you plan on visiting the parks. You can check the availability for each theme park on the
theme park reservation availability calendar as well to help shape your plans.
If you are planning on having a day or two where you do not visit the theme parks, there is still plenty to do and see around the Disneyland Resort! One of our favorite things to do on a non-park day is visit the
Downtown Disney District. We love to take our time to browse and shop for souvenirs at the
World of Disney Store, and we never pass up an opportunity to grab some delicious pepperoni pizza at
Naples Ristorante e Bar!
I'm wishing you and your family the most magical trip, Marisa! If we can help with any other questions before or after your trip,
please come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
