Disneyland Wait Times Lower Than Expected Since New Fantasmic!
Recently we updated projected crowd levels for Disneyland Park in response to the re-opening of Fantasmic! on July 17. Although the new show is drawing plenty of visitors we have not seen an increase in wait times around the park. So, today we are posting a new update for now until Labor Day based on the latest wait times collected.
Annual Passholders who own a pass with blockout dates will have their first opportunity to see the new Fantasmic! on August 21. We expect the park to busy (especially Frontierland in the afternoon) between August 21 and 25 but we don’t expect a large increase in wait times at the attractions.
Very hot weather is contributing to lower than expected crowds as well. We have seen most days at two or three points lower than expected since mid-July. So, from now until September 4 you will see a drop in crowd level for many days.
Thanks for the crowd updates! I just noticed there is the CHOC walk on Sunday, August 27th. What impact does that typically have and do you have any advice for folks planning on visiting the parks that day? Magic Morning was moved to Disneyland for that Sunday and I was wondering the logic/effects of that as well.
