Hey there, Joseph! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing us your great question!
Your visit to Disneyland Resort is coming up in just a few short months and the countdown is on! It sounds to me like your family has booked a
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Package that includes your stay at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa and your theme park tickets. All Guests age 3 and up on your hotel reservation will need to have both a valid theme park ticket and park reservations for the dates of your visit to enjoy the Theme Parks. If you have already made these hotel reservations, the next step is to make your theme park reservations for all dates of your visit.
You can do this on the official Disneyland Resort website by navigating to "My Disneyland" and selecting the option to view "
My Hotel Reservations." This page will allow you to input your reservation or confirmation number and your arrival date to link this information to your Disney account. Once you have linked the Resort Reservation to your account, you'll see a prompt to complete your theme park reservations for the dates of your stay. Another place you can view, confirm, or even modify your park reservations is within the "
Ticket and Reservation Details" tab. The actual eTickets with the barcode to scan for entry to the theme parks will be linked to your account four days before your visit. My best advice for your family is to take advantage of the
early entry benefit exclusive to Guests of the Disneyland Resort Hotels. You'll enjoy an extra 30 minutes in the theme parks before regular opening hours. You really can get so much done in that time without having to contend with the crowds that may filter in later in your day.
Springtime is such a lovely season to visit the Happiest Place on Earth, Joseph! I hope you and your family have been making your list of "must-do" experiences, especially since the
Disney100 Celebration will be in full swing during your visit dates! If I can offer any other personal recommendations, please don't hesitate to
reach out with more questions. We love helping our fellow Guests plan one-of-a-kind vacations at Disneyland Resort!
Wishing you
Wondrous Journeys,
