Announced earlier this year, Early Entry is going away for guests staying at Disneyland Resort hotels. Instead they will be given access to one Lightning Lane. Here is how to use this benefit and a list of eligible attractions.
How to Use
This benefit starts on January 5, 2026 and is redeemable at any available time on one day of your hotel stay. It becomes available at check-in, or shortly after 7:00 AM on your day of arrival if you complete Online Check-In prior to your day of arrival. You’ll want to be sure you have your reservation linked to the Disneyland app.
To redeem, show the in-app Lightning Lane barcode at the eligible attraction of your choosing.
