Disneyland Resort Crowd Report – November 9 to 15, 2014
Days around Veterans Day historically see no significant bump in attendance at Disneyland Resort. This year seems to be a significant exception. Sunday through Tuesday saw crowd levels that bordered on extreme despite our historical information which would suggest crowds much lower in mid-November. As much as crowds peaked on Tuesday they returned immediately back to levels we would expect by Wednesday.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Disneyland Resort Crowd Report:

We properly predicted high crowds on Sunday although average wait times at both parks came in slightly less than we expected. Waits like 15 minutes at Astro Orbitor (predicted 18) and 24 at Dumbo (predicted 22) were typical for the day. |

Tuesday’s crowds were nearly as large as Monday’s an equally as surprising. Wait time averages were 20 to 25 minutes higher than we predicted. |

It is difficult to find a stretch of two days, without a major weather event, that has more contrast than last Tuesday and Wednesday. For example, the average posted wait for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was 41 minutes on Tuesday, only 14 on Wednesday. |

Friday brought, for the first time during the week, similar crowds on back to back days. Avengers Half Marathon weekend kicked off which means big crowds at the hotels and walkways around the resort but waits were moderate at both parks. |

We saw some surprises last week at Disneyland but we expect crowds next week to be more in line with historical trends. Next week represents the last week before the Thanksgiving rush so guests should get in their Disneyland fix before then.
