Disneyland Hotel Early Entry. How it works? Tips. DCA & Disneyland

We'll show you how staying 1 night at the Disneyland Hotel gives you two days of early entry. Tips for how to use it and what to rope drop. We were the first guests in Avenger's Campus! We'll also show you the hotel including a room tour. The pool area is great for kids with monorail water slides.

Thanks for the 'battle plan' for Early Entry at DCA & reminding folks that you get early entry the first day of your stay, even before checking in. The front desk will give you a key.
You kind of glossed over the process for admission. Do you need to tap your hotel room key or show reservation? Can you use your MagicBand +. ? Thanks!

@@TAM94114 You can either show your reservation on the app or tap your hotel key. Before you get your room and key (the 1st morning before check in) you can show the reservation. As far as I know they’re still not using Magic Band+ for the early entry tap in. Maybe in the future. It was a smooth process. Hope that helps.

@@KrauseMouseAdventures Thank you for clarifying the process. When I stayed at the then Paradise Pier. in 2022, I just to show my hotel keycard to the cast member - so I'm glad to know this change to prepare mysself for my November visit.
