California's Disneyland Resort is eliminating its 30-minute early park entry benefit for hotel guests beginning Jan. 5.
Disneyland said it will instead provide hotel guests with "one Lightning Lane entry to a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction during their resort stay."
Under the current system, guests staying at Disneyland Resort hotels receive early admission to designated theme parks each day of their stay. Disneyland Park offers hotel guests early entry on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while Disney California Adventure Park provides the benefit on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The new Lightning Lane benefit remains "subject to attraction availability and restrictions," according to Disneyland, and hotel guests ages 3 and up must still maintain valid theme park admission and park reservations to use the benefit.
Notably, the Lightning Lane benefit applies only once per hotel guest, per stay.
Disneyland is home to three hotels: Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, the Disneyland Hotel and the Pixar Place Hotel, which replaced the former Paradise Pier Hotel early last year.
