Hi. MouseAdventure participants have to be at Paradise Pier Hotel before and after the event. How do you get from the hotel to Disneyland? Is there a shortcut path to walk from one to the other? Looking at a map, it seems that the hotel is one the opposite side of California Adventure and that you have to walk all the way around it to get to the entrance.

Thanks.

The quickest way to get to Disneyland from the Paradise Pier Hotel:

Cross Disneyland Drive at the light.
Enter the Grand Californian Hotel's lobby and turn left.
Go down the long corridor through the conference center and turn right.
Exit out of the Grand Californian into Downtown Disney and turn left.

That will take you to the Esplanade. If your admission allows park-hopping, you can try using the hotel guests-only entrance to DCA, which will have a shorter line. From there you can exit DCA and cross the Esplanade into Disneyland. However, there's no guarantee that you won't be turned away, as the guests-only rule is sporadically enforced.

It is, of course, possible that it may be to your advantage in the game to take the longer route through the Disneyland Hotel to Downtown Disney.

Thank you for the directions. Very well described! I do have a parkhopper AP, so that does keep options open.

True....You never know....

Thanks!

Quickest way from Paraside Pier to Disneyland? Walk down the street to the DLH and hop on the monorail. Thats all!

Actually, I think the GCH Lobby would be just as fast because you don't have to wait in line for the monorail and it's more of a "as the crow flies" diagonal than the straight lines and angles to the monorail.
