Disneyland Resort Crowd Report – November 30 to December 6, 2014
Last week, our crowd projections did well the first half of the week but our second half did not properly reflect the impact of Candlelight Processional on wait times across the resort. We saw average wait times on Thursday through Saturday at or near the highest points on our scale in some cases.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Disneyland Resort Crowd Report:

We are predicting a moderate week for crowds at Disneyland Resort this week with wait times between a level ‘4’ and ‘6’ on our scale, on average as the countdown to Christmas crowds begins. Historically, the rush of guests to the resort for Christmas does not begin until December 22 or 23.
