Calendar of best and worst time to visit

[Brian Shepherd]

I know there is a calendar online somewhere that tells the best and worst time to visit Disneyland.

Can someone help me out with a link?

I don't know of a calendar site but best and worst depends on what you want. If you low crowds, then you get closed rides and not many shows. If you want to see all the shows and rides, then the best time to go is during the summer. From what I hear, it seems like there is getting to be fewer and fewer uncrowded days. Summer has crowds but not like during the Christmas holidays. That was nuts!

I don't know of one for DLR. I do know that there is one for WDW. It gives a rating for each day of the year.

Here is a link about when to travel.

I think it really depends on what your main priority is. If you want low crowds then look for those times but know that off season and low crowds can also mean closed rides and shorter hours.

The Birnbaum Guide to Disneyland 2009 has a really nice crowd pattern chart on page 8. It says the least crowded times are:
- Second week in January to President's week
- Two weeks after Easter Sunday to Memorial Day week
- End of Labor Day week to Columbus Day
- End of Thanksgiving weekend to mid-December

From the posts here, it sounded like the last couple weeks have been pretty busy, so I wonder if all those dates are still correct? (I do agree that they give a ballpark estimate, of course, but I'm not so sure about the "after Easter" advice...or are things less crowded than they were sounding?)
