What is the hottest month at Disneyland?

Best Times to Visit Disneyland for Good Weather August is typically the hottest month, and guests visiting then should note that there's not much indoor seating in the parks, particularly at quick-service restaurants. To avoid queueing for your favorite ride under the hot sun, try visiting at another time of year.



The hottest month at Disneyland (Anaheim, California) is typically August, followed closely by September. During August, average high temperatures usually sit around 85°F to 90°F (29°C to 32°C), but "heat dome" events can frequently push temperatures well above 100°F (38°C). Unlike Florida, the heat in California is often a "dry heat," but the intense sun reflecting off the pavement in areas like Tomorrowland or Pixar Pier can make it feel much hotter. September is also notoriously hot because of the "Santa Ana" winds, which can bring the highest temperatures of the year even as summer technically ends. Visitors during these months are advised to take advantage of the many indoor, air-conditioned attractions like Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln or it's a small world, stay hydrated with free ice water available at quick-service locations, and plan to spend the mid-afternoon hours back at their hotel pool to avoid the peak UV index of the day.

It gets really hot in Orlando in July/August. It's in the 90s, and the humidity makes it worse. If you drink a ton of water and wear a lot of sunscreen, you could probably go to Disney. My suggestion is to do Splash Mountain at some point in the middle of the day if you're at Magic Kingdom.
