Visiting Disneyland in June 2026: Grad Nites, Summer Crowds, and more!

Nice weather and school vacation make the summer an excellent time to visit the Disneyland Resort. If there is a downside, it’s that Disneyland in June can be quite crowded. Weekdays and weekends will both be busy as school is out for summer vacation across the country. With a bit of planning, however, June can be a great time to visit the parks as the temperatures are warmer and the park hours are longer, giving you more time to enjoy all that Disneyland has to offer.

June At-a-Glance

June temperatures heat up as summer begins. Both heat and humidity come into play during this time of year.
Grad Nites will likely be back in 2026. This popular ticketed event will be returning to California Adventure in 2026 on select nights. While they are a fun opportunity for graduating seniors, the parks can get a bit crowded for the rest of us. So keep this in mind when selecting your vacation dates.
Be prepared for summer crowds. June is a popular month to visit with school ending for the year across the country. Weekdays and weekends alike will most likely be busy.

June Events

June is the beginning of summer for most, and summer break does mean summer crowds.

The only major holiday in June is Father’s Day on June 21. And while Father’s Day doesn’t typically see a huge surge in crowds, you may want to make any special dining reservations early, as they do book up quickly.

Grad Nites is a special ticketed event that will be back in 2026. The parties take place on select dates in both May and June. There are three ticket options ranging in price from $129-$259. This year’s dates include May 9, 12, 18, 21, 22, 27, 28, & 30 and June 3, 5, 7, 10 & 12.

June Disneyland Crowds

Crowd calendars are very popular, but they can also be a bit unpredictable. While they can be a big help in planning your trip, keep in mind that they are predictions at best. When anticipating future crowds, we take a look at events, school calendars, ticket prices, park hours, holidays, and typical monthly patterns. Unfortunately, our estimates cannot predict other things such as weather, travel advisories, pandemics, or last-minute openings or closings of shows and attractions.

June is a very popular month to visit the Disneyland Resort. Be prepared for summer crowds throughout the month!
