food IS a theme park
It’s a new year, which means new hotel perks for both the Disney World and the Disneyland Resorts!
Typhoon Lagoon
Change is coming to the two U.S.-based Disney theme park resorts in 2026 — and that includes changes to already established hotel perks! With the new year now getting into full swing, it’s an important time to remind you about a few existing hotel perks at both Disney World and Disneyland that will look mighty different in 2026…and maybe not for the better.
Change is hitting the Disneyland Resort like a tidal wave in 2026. In fact, some hotel perks are getting adjustments!
Disneyland
Right now, most of the talk surrounding the Disneyland Resort has to do with the multiple expansion projects in progress. However, a pair of hotel perks are about to change this January… and we’re betting most guests won’t be too thrilled.
Earlier this year, Disney released some news that had all of our hearts dropping, but at the time, it seemed so far away from coming true.
Pixar Place Hotel
Back in August, Disney announced that they would be ENDING two very popular hotel perks over at Disneyland Resort, and if we’re being honest, it really takes away a lot of value from paying more to stay on property. Here’s a reminder to ALL of us that starting in 2026, you’ll no longer get Early Entry as a hotel guest OR be able to take the special entrance into the park if you’re staying at Pixar Place Hotel.
2026 Disneyland vacation packages just dropped, which means it’s time to plan our next trip to The Happiest Place on Earth. With new vacation packages come new details, and we have a lot to share.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
If you’re planning on staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel, make sure you read below to check out all the information you need to know for upcoming trips.
The Disney Parks are always changing and that includes perks, as well.
Disneyland Main Street crowds
At the Disneyland Resort, hotel guests are afforded the perk of early entry into the parks. With this perk, guests staying at any official Disneyland Resort can enter the parks 30 minutes before they officially open. However, that policy is ABOUT TO CHANGE!
We love Early Theme Park Entry!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
It really is one of the best perks you can get for staying at a Disney-owned hotel during your Disneyland visit. As it is right now, if you’re staying at any Disneyland Resort hotel, you can enter the parks a full 30 minutes before their official opening time, which means getting on those popular rides before the rest of the crowds. But REMEMBER, that policy is changing pronto!
If you’re staying at a Disney-owned hotel during your Disneyland visit, you can enjoy some special perks. One of the best perks is Early Theme Park Entry!
Disneyland
Guests staying at any Disneyland Resort hotel can enter the parks 30 minutes before the official park opening, which means they can get on the most popular rides before the rest of the crowds show up. However, that policy is CHANGING soon!
When it comes to your Disney vacation, time can make all the difference.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Less time waiting in line means more time to ride other attractions and experience new activities, and in most cases — the earlier you get to a park, the better! Soon, select Disneyland Resort guests will have just a little bit more time in the parks thanks to an all-new benefit coming soon!
