Planning a trip to Disneyland is already exciting, but choosing to stay at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels takes your experience to a whole new level of magic! From exclusive perks to fun-filled activities, guests staying at these hotels enjoy a variety of distinctly Disney benefits that make their stay truly unforgettable. Here’s a look at what you can expect when you stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel, or Pixar Place Hotel:
1. Start Your Day Early with Early Entry
Imagine having the park almost to yourself as you explore select attractions, dining, and shopping before the general public. With Early Entry, hotel guests can access a designated theme park 30 minutes before regular opening time. Whether you’re an early riser looking to ride your favorite attractions without the crowds or want to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, this perk is a game-changer. Remember, you’ll need a valid theme park ticket along with your hotel stay to take advantage of this magical head start.
2. Exclusive and Convenient Park Access
If you’re staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa or Pixar Place Hotel, you’ll love the convenience of a dedicated entrance to Disney California Adventure park. For guests at all three Disneyland Resort hotels, getting to Disneyland park is also a breeze. Hop on the Monorail from the Downtown Disney District or enjoy a leisurely stroll through the promenade to the main entrances of both theme parks. These quick access points make it easier than ever to get to the magic.
3. Perks That Make Planning a Breeze
Staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel comes with special planning benefits that help make your trip as seamless as possible. Enjoy preferred access to a limited number of restaurant reservations at select hotel dining locations, so you can secure a table for that special meal. The convenience doesn’t stop there—guests can also charge dining and shopping purchases directly to their room from within the parks, adding to the ease of your stay. And with direct-to-room service, you can skip the front desk and head straight to your room using the Disneyland app after checking in online.
4. Fun-Filled Hotel Activities for All Ages
The fun doesn’t end when you leave the parks! Disneyland Resort hotels offer a variety of activities and seasonal events for guests. From “Learn to Draw” classes where you can sketch your favorite Disney characters to cozy Disney movie nights, there’s always something happening to keep the magic going. Be sure to check the schedule of events during your stay to make the most of these experiences.
5. Magical Character Encounters
If you love Disney characters, staying at Pixar Place Hotel adds an extra dose of fun to your trip. You might bump into Bing Bong from Inside Out or catch Joe Gardner from Soul playing piano in the hotel lobby. You can even start your day with a special wake-up call from beloved characters like Meilin Lee from Turning Red. These unique character experiences are just one more reason a Disneyland Resort hotel stay feels truly magical.
With these one-of-a-kind perks, staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel is the perfect way to add extra pixie dust to your vacation. Whether it’s the convenience, the exclusive access, or the fun-filled activities, these hotels ensure your Disneyland adventure is nothing short of enchanting.
