Go on a weekday for short lines! We went on the week after the 4th of July and I don’t think we waited longer than 30 minutes for any of the rides. We barely had to use Fastpass and never needed MaxPass.

Early to mid-July is an amazing time to go. Surprisingly not very crowded at all and the lines were pretty short!

Buy MaxPass on crowded days. It’s definitely worth it.

It’s not worth going in the summer. Too crowded! Go after Labor Day.

Way too many annual passholders! Get there at park opening for shorter lines.

Way too crowded! There are too many annual passholders and not enough parking!

Mid-May is a good time to go before the summer season. Crowded, but still manageable. You can get most of the park done in one day.

Parking is a nightmare at Disneyland. It sometimes take you over an hour just to park, so give yourself extra time in the morning. Go on “Ghost Town” or “Hey, It’s Alright” days on the Crowd Calendar and you should be fine. It won’t be empty, but as long as you avoid the really bad days, Disneyland can still be enjoyable (and a little crowded).

Arrive as early as you can. The lines are a little shorter in the morning and then it gets crowded by noon.

We went in the middle of May on a weekday before schools got out and it was actually very manageable. Some of the lines were long, but it wasn’t that crowded. We had a lot of fun! Great time to go!
