In general, if you want to visit when the number of Guests is sometimes lower, plan to stay mid-week — Tuesdays to Thursday. There are several times during the year when Guests can take advantage of historically lower attendance:

• Mid-January through mid-March (except for President's Day Weekend)
• Mid-April through mid-May (except during Spring Break)
• Mid-September through mid-November (except during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort)

If you would like to come when hours and entertainment are at their peak, June through August is our high season. For a detailed list of hours, entertainment, events and refurbishments, go to the Park Hours section within 6 weeks of your visit.

In January, the weather tends to be cooler and lines can be shorter later in the month. You may catch the tail-end of some Holidays at Disneyland attractions and entertainment during the first week.
