JULY
July is one of the busiest months at Disneyland, with Independence Day celebrations attracting large crowds. Despite the bustle, extended park hours mean more time to explore and enjoy the magic.

SEPTEMBER
September brings a breath of fresh air and thinner crowds post-Labor Day. It’s a fantastic time to visit for a more intimate experience with your favorite Disney characters and attractions.
