We are planning on visiting Disneyland for a couple of days in April. Are guests able to walk into the park from Paradise Pier Hotel or do you need to take the bus?
You cannot walk into the park from it. Only the Grand Californian has that. You walk on the sidewalk path from Paradise Pier past Disneyland Hotel and then into the Downtown Disney walking area. Then you can follow that all the way to the two park front entrances.
It's not a bad stroll but it does take a few.
