When is the best time to visit Disneyland®?

The best time to visit Disneyland® in your situation depends on a number of factors - who is going with you (e.g. toddlers, seniors, etc.), how do you like very hot weather, can you stand crowds, which attractions you must see/ride. Some tips on that can be found in the Tip of the Day at the bottom of this post.

TIP OF THE DAY
Most crowded days at the Disneyland® Resort are: all Saturdays year round, Sundays during summer and holiday weekends, President's week, week before and week after Easter Sunday, the period between the beginning of summer through Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas Day through New Year's Day.

Least crowded days at the Disneyland® Resort are: first week in January to President's week, two weeks after Easter Sunday to Memorial Day week, end of Labor Day week to Columbus Day, end of Thanksgiving weekend to week before Christmas.

You have to remember that visiting Disneyland® Resort during a slowertime has both benefits and drawbacks. Benefits: lower number of visitors and reduced wait time for the attractions. Drawbacks: reduced operating hours, fewer entertainment and events, more attractions under refurbisment. If your main concern is being able to enjoy all of the biggest attractions, then go on weekends, especially during extended holiday weekends during Christmas and Spring break or in summer - June to August.
