Disneyland November Crowd Levels
Crowds are a common concern for Disneyland guests—it’s tricky to navigate finding the best days with longer park hours, more open rides, a full entertainment schedule and low crowds. In 2024 there’s a lot happening with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Haunted Mansion open, but only Virtual Queue, there’s a lot to know!
I always say go when it works best for you, then I can help you work out the logistics like what rides to go on and when. It’s the main reason I created Park Plans—step by step ride guides with optimal wait times and more.
If you’re super concerned about crowds I suggest you skip:
- Mid November when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens and Holidays kick off
- Thanksgiving Weekend
We might see lower crowds on these dates:
Anything is possible, and when it comes to crowds it’s highly likely that even our best time guesses could miss the mark. However, I think these dates might be a good choice.
- mid-week, especially Tuesdays (at California Adventure especially AM hours) and Wednesdays
- mid-week, especially Tuesdays (at California Adventure especially AM hours) and Wednesdays
Add this info to any Disneyland crowd calendars you might see (they’re not my favorite) and plan accordingly.
