Rarely will there be more than one major attraction down in each park at any given time. The calendar may not come out days prior to travel, so if you think you need to make a last minute changes, we recommend taking advantage of the Peace of Mind plan.
And here is what might be one of the best tips for avoiding crowds at Disneyland-- go when it rains! Annual passholders can usually be found in the parks any day of the week. Because a visit to Disneyland is commonplace for a local, annual passholder, they will often opt to cancel a visit to Disneyland if it rains. As a result, there will be fewer people at the parks when it rains. For someone who is visiting Disney from far away and planning a special trip, rain isn't going to stop them! So don't worry if Disneyland weather doesn't look ideal.
In fact, we have a whole blog post called " How to Do Disneyland in the Rain " that is full of advice. More rides are open during this time of year because Disneyland knows that the parks will be busier. With more crowds come longer park hours. This means earlier mornings and later nights when it comes to regular hours of operations for the parks.
If you stay at one of the three Disneyland Resort hotels , you can take advantage of Extra Magic Hour, which is exclusive early admission to Disney California Adventure that you can't get in any other way!
If those early mornings are a bit exhausting, you can take a break mid-day when things get a little busier and know you packed in a lot of fun already.
Head back into the parks later at night since crowds thin as the night goes on. Halloween Time is definitely one of the most popular times to visit Disneyland. It is the epitome of charming! No surprise that Disney World is tops. No matter when you visit, you won't be alone. On the big holidays—July 4, Thanksgiving week, and Christmas through New Years—Disneyland can get so crowded that the front gates sometimes stop letting people in for safety reasons, even if they have a ticket.
If avoiding crowds is your number one goal, these are the least busy windows at Disneyland:. January is a nice time to visit Disneyland to avoid crowds and experience good weather. Holiday decorations are still up for the first part of the month. Unfortunately, park hours will be shorter than other times of year and some rides might be closed for renovation during the winter.
Events to check out:. It's among the quietest months, but February can be a great time to visit Disneyland. The park is open fewer hours than in the summer, but it isn't crowded and you won't have to wait for rides.
March can be pleasant—or overly crowded, depending on when you go. If you visit Disneyland in March , try to go earlier in the month before school is out for spring break. Late March can be very crowded. Like March, April is also prime spring break time. If you want to travel in spring and your schedule is flexible, think about going to Disneyland in a different month.
If your schedule is fixed, get some tips for how to manage your April trip. In preparation for the busy summer months, Disneyland often soft-opens new attractions in May. May can be a great time to visit , but avoid Memorial Day weekend as it's one of the busiest times in the park. June kicks off summer at Disneyland. Schools start summer break, which ups the crowds, but the park also hosts a full event calendar this month, including parades, fireworks, light shows, and more.
In July at Disneyland , you can expect long hours, but a full entertainment lineup and as many rides as possible will be open. Also, expect big crowds. August at Disneyland is hot and crowded. Disneyland is open long hours, typically between 14 to 16 hours per day, which gives you plenty of time to have fun.
So, what are the best times to visit Disneyland? While Disney World covers an astounding 43 square miles of land, Disneyland contrasts that with its acres of park.
However, Disneyland still boasts incredible crowds, many of whom are local annual passholders. And there are absolutely times of the year that are better than others as far as crowd size. It not only allows us to help you pick the best time of year to visit Disneyland when avoiding large crowds, however it also helps us create all of the daily park plans that are included with our Disneyland tickets.
One of the easiest ways to find the least busy days at Disneyland is to pay attention to the one day Disneyland ticket pricing.
The reasons being is Disneyland tickets now come in tiers and fluctuate based on the time of year you plan to visit the theme parks. As you can imagine the dates with the cheapest Disneyland tickets will be the best time to visit Disneyland if trying to avoid the crowds.
Based on our Disneyland Crowd Calendar data, the slowest time of year for Disneyland is often:. Weeks that are slated to be the least busy time to go to Disneyland , according to Disneyland Crowd Calendar statistics, include the following. Besides crowds, there are many other factors that could go into planning your trip, including special events and more. But Disneyland also sees more local visitors than Disney World—so much so that the park blocks certain dates that are expected to be high volume from annual passholders.
This means that visitors can use the Disneyland admissions and block out calendar to anticipate when high volume dates are expected. For example, passholders are currently blocked out from most dates in June, July, and early August, which means that a higher volume of visitors is expected during those times.
Something else to consider when planning a Disneyland vacation is that the Anaheim Convention Center is located in close proximity to Disneyland. So when is Disneyland least crowded for guests trying to avoid large crowds? Is that good news that they are not allowing any additional people so far? I assume you will still need to make reservations even if you plan to go after June 15th. Is that a correct assumption? Availability is subject to change, so Disney could potentially add reservations at any time.
But yes, reservations will still be required beyond June We live in Alberta Canada and are planning a trip to Disneyland maybe October 24 25 26 I heard they shut down its a small world to decorate for xmas. How do I find out when ,so I don't book then. We have a post all about Disneyland ride refurbishments here.
Why are weekends in the last two weeks of August recommended rather than middle of the week in the end of August? I would expect weekdays are always less busy the weekend. We are planning to go Monday August 30th through the 1st of September but would we be better off going Saturday and Sunday August 28th and 29th? Weekends are generally more crowded than weekdays, even now with every day selling out.
In the past, annual passholder blackouts were lifted on those weekdays in August, so many local guests would visit on the weekdays near the end of the month. But this year, with no annual passes to worry about and a lot of kids back in school by late August, your dates are a good time to visit.
My family just secured a stay at Grand Californian from Feb 14 through Do you foresee this being a decent time to visit Disneyland? Since it's the week before the President's Day holiday, it should be a great time to visit. Sometimes there are even character couples and decorations out for Valentine's Day. There can be rain in February, so just be sure to check the weather forecast to be prepared before your visit. My friend and I are deciding between the week before Halloween or sometimes in late Jan.
What do you think is best? I know the Halloween decorations may lure people but you have 2nd half of Oct as a good time! You honestly can't go wrong with either time! It can still be warm during that time of year. Meanwhile, late January is a comfortable time to visit and usually is not crowded, but there is always a chance of rain. The days are also a bit shorter with the parks getting dark earlier. Why would the second half of october be better less busy than the first half? I thought it would get busier closer to Halloween.
There are several states that have fall breaks that fall in the first half of October, including Utah and Arizona, which bring in more crowds.
No update on out-of-state guests has been issued at this time, but we've got our eyes and ears open! Thank you so much! However, this year is a little different! We aren't quite sure what to expect just yet, but as soon as the gates open and we get a feel for crowds, we'll be sure to update accordingly! I'm planning a family vacation in July and plan to visit the park during the week of 4th.
We have a party of 22 people. How is the crowd during the work week and price for the one day pass. Ticket sales for Disneyland are temporarily paused until the parks reopen.
Disneyland will open with more limited capacity, though, so this year may be manageable. We'll know more once the parks reopen, so stay tuned! On your calendar that has the crowd levels, would you say a 4 or 5 are pretty good? I have a big family and I hate crowds since it is hard to stick together comfortably in large crowds. Just doing a little imaginary planning until Disneyland opens back up :. Yes, 4s, 5s and even 6s are manageable in our eyes!
When you get to about a 7, you'll feel things have picked up a bit in terms of crowds and may want to spring for FASTPASS : Keep hopping back as we hear more news about Disneyland, as we'll keep our Crowd Calendar updated!
Hoppy daydreaming! How crowded are the Disneyland parks the first week of July? Do they get as insane as Disney World for July 3 and 4? Holidays definitely see increased crowds, including July 4, but this varies from year to year. Since the holiday falls on a weekend this year, we would expect higher crowds than a year that it falls on a weekday.
However, this is kind of an unusual year, making crowds for this summer hard to predict right now. We'd go expecting crowds, but enjoy the surprise if that's not the case this year :.
