Not the Disneyland Park, but into California Adventure. You'd still need to veer to the left (after entering by Grizzly Rapids) and go past Soarin' to get to the entrance out to the plaza and across to Disneyland Park. You're not saving a LOT of walking (you can go out one side of GC into CA or out the other into DTD and walk to the plaza that way), but the poster who mentioned it was pointing out the time saver of not having to wait in a long bag search line, since their bag was searched at the private entrance from the hotel. Once you are in the plaza, you are free to move between parks without a bag search (didn't used to be the case - they used to do them at the gates). Same goes with the monorail - your bag is searched in DTD before you board. However, you need a ticket, which is scanned, to take the monorail since it takes you directly into Tomorrowland.
