2026 Disneyland Resort Calendar - Official & Unofficial Events

[LKing]

Thanks so much for the info! This will be our first DL vacation and we were considering July 9, 11 and 12th for our DL days. Would you recommend that the following week would be much better for crowds? I’m also not sure which is less crowded in July, weekends or weekdays, as I’ve seen both recommended. What do you suggest?

If you can avoid a Dance the Magic weekend, I would. Unofficial events pop up throughout the year but, right now, the following weekend looks better. @OlliePop27 what do you suggest?

Definitely avoid Dance the Magic...it's pure torture.

I would try the following weekend, if it works with your schedule. July weekends should still be good. July has typically been good because of the high ticket prices and MK blockouts. Some of the passes are not being blocked all of July anymore, so it's a bit unknown. I would keep your eyes on this site once the new MK is released in January. See what the blockouts are in July and try to avoid those dates (probably weekends will be best for you). Also, look at the single day one park ticket prices once the calendar goes out to July (only out to May right now). The more expensive the tickets, the lower the crowds. If the single day prices are $180 or above, the crowds tend to be lighter during the summer time. If the prices is below $180, and a lower pass is unblocked, watch out.
