Disneyland Resort Crowd Report – September 14 to 22, 2014
Predictions did very well last week with our Resort-wide predictions hitting the mark every day except Saturday. Wait times remained below average until the weekend arrived when we saw the first level ‘6’ of September. The Southern California heat meant that Splash Mountain and Grizzly River Run were some of the busiest attractions of the week. During the week wait times were generally low however, and guests experienced relaxed touring across the resort.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Disneyland Resort Crowd Report:

For some reason it was lesser attractions like Astro Orbitor (20 minutes, predicted 14) and Jungle Cruise (23 minutes, predicted 19) that pushed Disneyland’s crowd level to a ‘4’ on Tuesday. |

Friday brought the highest waits since Tuesday but still below average for the year despite a midnight closing at Disneyland Park. Disney California Adventure waits were distinctly lower than at Disneyland but neither park had unmanageable waits. |

Highest waits of the week hit both parks on Saturday. In fact, waits were as high as they have been since late August. Alice in Wonderland (38, predicted 24) and Haunted Mansion (35, predicted 18) saw the highest waits due to Alice’s latest refurb and the Mansion’s Halloween-themed overlay. |

Last week’s crowds may be an indication that the Fall lull in attendance is ending and moderate crowds are coming. Touring the parks will still be manageable through the rest of September and into October.
