Most Crowded
- The weeks before and after Easter: mid-March through mid-April, or Spring Break Season.
- October which will increase in crowd levels the closer it gets to Halloween.
It's always a great time to visit Disney theme parks! However, when planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort, expect lower crowds from mid-September through mid-November (before the Thanksgiving break). Mid-January through mid-March is another time when potentially lower crowds are expected.

At holiday times, it's best to book as soon as you can. Both resorts offer multiple choices for character dining. Service is returning to normal with characters being able to visit with you and hug you! Disney World is generally more crowded than Disneyland, although Disneyland can get crowded, too, at times.

Disneyland is great for kids over the age of 7. So if you have 4 kids, 2 of which are under 7, you may have to watch which rides you can do. For my family, this meant that my oldest two (ages 9 and 10) could ride rides together while an adult rode with the younger kids (ages 2, 4, and 6).

While two days is a great amount of time to see most things the parks have to offer, it will not allow you to fully experience to parks. Disney if full of live entertainment, characters, attractions, and delicious food. We recommend a 4-5 day trip to enjoy everything the parks have to offer.
