Hi there, Michael. Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for bringing this question to us! I can tell you’re thinking about how to make the most of your stay, and I love it. Also, I’ve always wanted to slide down the
Monorail Waterslides! These are some of the coolest pools around! If you haven’t stayed at the
Disneyland Hotel before, you’re going to love it! It feels like it's from another era, but also very modern and chic. I’d also recommend checking out Behind the Attraction on Disney+, specifically the episode on the Disneyland Hotel. So much interesting history!
Let’s get down to it! I have good news. Guests are welcome to enjoy the pools until they close on the day of checkout. I checked the pool hours for some days around the time that you’re at the resort, and 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. seems to be the norm for this time of year. Also, you’re welcome to keep your car in the hotel parking lot until midnight.
Michael, I have to say, you’re coming to the
Disneyland Resort at the right time of year! The
California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be in full swing when you arrive. This is my favorite festival of the year. Check out the
Foodie Guide that
Disney Parks Blog released last week. You can check out all the tasty bites you want to try. I’d plan to buy a
Sip and Savor (or two), so you can sample a variety of awesome dishes and drinks. The festival will be quite a treat, literally!
I hope you have a magical trip. If you have any other planning questions, don’t hesitate to bring them to us at
planDisney. Have a magical day.
Corey
