Disneyland Resort Crowd Report – October 12 to 18, 2014
Columbus Day Crowds led the way at Disneyland Resort last week, then crowds settled for the second half. We continue to see crowds focused on weekends and adjacent days while mid-week crowds remain around average levels, sometimes lower at Disney California Adventure.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Disneyland Resort Crowd Report:

Happy Touringplans #Everywhere Day! While our Disneyland guru Guy Selga (@GuySelga) head off to cover Tokyo Disneyland, Brian McNichols (@YesThatBrian) took his place to cover Disneyland Resort. Most of our wait time predictions hit the mark across both parks. |

Columbus Day crowds this year at Disneyland were two levels higher than history would suggest although most of our attraction level predictions were within normal ranges. We saw higher than usual waits at Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. |

Saturday’s crowds at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure were four levels apart, a rare event. This continues the Fall pattern of increased crowds on the weekend and lesser crowds during the week, especially the middle part of the week. |

Next week is the last week before Halloween so we expect the festive atmosphere to intensify and crowds will remain steady.
