    Since Disneyland no longer offers early entry for guests staying at the park, I heard that they offer one lightning lane ride. How does this work and do we get to book it earlier than other guests? Thank you for your help.

    Hi there, Shari, and welcome to planDisney!

    It’s great that you’re considering staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels during your vacation. From the monorail waterslides at the Disneyland Hotel, to the spa at the Grand Californian, to dining at Great Maple at Pixar Place — I still can’t decide which is my favorite!

    One of the magical perks of staying at a hotel on the property is that each Guest on your reservation will receive one complimentary entry for a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction during your stay. This perk will populate for you within the Disneyland mobile app after you check into your stay. Once you scan into one of the theme parks, you will be able to redeem it!

    Bonus Tip: Carve out some time during your vacation to check out the special experiences that are available for resort hotel Guests. You can start your day with Sunrise Yoga right in Disneyland Park, check out one of the movie nights, or even watch the fireworks show from the rooftop deck at Pixar Place! These offerings change throughout the year, so be sure to check out the calendar for the most up-to-date information.

    Shari, I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful time during your upcoming visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! If you need any additional help as you plan, please come back and see us again here at planDisney.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
