Disneyland Crowd Calendar 

Disneyland is running in full force in 2025 and this article is updated on a regular basis to include all the magic. Below is what typically happens in this month of the year. This can help you get a better, well-rounded understanding of the resort.

When is the best time to go to Disneyland?

For lower crowd levels, choose a weekday during the school year. Typically, these days offer lower level crowds but also have less Magic Key Holder restrictions which could increase attendance.

But, if you’d like to experience Disneyland with as many rides and entertainment options running as possible, visit during the summer. Summer brings extended park hours so you can experience more magic throughout the day and night.

When is it busy at Disneyland? 

I created this guide to help you anticipate events and offerings at Disneyland Resort. What’s “busy” to one person may not be “busy” to another.

The same goes for people who are new to Disneyland and those who visit on a monthly or weekly basis. Study our many line hacks to help you map out your best day ever and print your Park Plan now.

What parades will be running during my visit?

Will there be fireworks during my visit?

Current Disneyland Ticket Prices

Disneyland ticket prices last went up in October 2023, and price increases can happen any time! The good news is Disneyland tickets have longer expiration dates than many people think.

 

 

Lock in your discount Disneyland ticket prices now. Get multi-day tickets for around $100 per day with my ticket partners.

 

 

Can I get one day discount Disneyland tickets? 

One day tickets will cost you the most money per day. One day ticket prices fluctuate with demand and season. If you’re looking for a discount one day ticket to Disneyland, you will need to visit during weekdays typically during the school calendar year.

Save Even More with Multi-Day Tickets! The more days you visit Disneyland Resort, the less you pay per day. Multi-day tickets have no blackout dates, so you can travel anytime in 2024 and 2025 (with valid theme park reservations). If you’re doing Disneyland on a budget, do not buy your tickets from Disney. You will be paying top dollar with no discounts!

Instead, buy your discount Disneyland tickets from Get Away Today (the first company to ever work direct with Disneyland to sell authorized tickets!).

Disneyland Pay-As-You-Go Option. Did you know you can lock in low rates on Disneyland tickets or hotel & ticket packages? In addition to the already low rates, you can still get perks like free night specials, free breakfast, no resort fees and free parking when you choose the layaway option from Get Away Today!

Here is how it works:

1. Search for your perfect ticket only or hotel and Disneyland ticket package.
2. A small down-payment (includes non-refundable layaway fee) secures your low cost Disneyland vacation.
3. Make payments prior to your vacation and it is all good toward your dream Disneyland trip!
4. Pay off your vacation two weeks prior to travel.
5. Enjoy your stress-free, paid off Disneyland vacation!
