Visiting Disneyland in July 2024

If you’re thinking about heading to the Disneyland Resort during summer, you’re in luck! The combination of amazing weather and school vacation makes it an awesome time to go. The only catch is that Disneyland in July tends to get pretty crowded. Whether it’s a weekday or a weekend, everyone’s taking advantage of their summer break, so brace yourself for long lines and crowded areas. But don’t worry, with some careful planning, you can still have a good time. Just make sure to plan ahead, wear comfy shoes, and stay hydrated! You may also want to consider utilizing Genie+, getting there early, and maybe even checking out some less popular attractions.

Ready to Start Planning Your Visit to Disneyland in July?

July At-a-Glance

July temperatures heat up, and the days are longer. Both heat and humidity come into play during this time of year. But the good news is that with the longer days, there will be more daylight hours to enjoy the Disneyland Resort!
Be prepared for summer crowds. July is a popular month to visit with summer vacation in full swing across the country. Weekdays and weekends alike will most likely be busy.
The Fourth of July falls on a Thursday in 2024. Featuring Patriotic music, Disneyland will light up the night sky with an inspirational fireworks display.

July Events

Summer is in full swing during the month of July, and summer break does mean summer crowds.

The only major holiday this month is the Fourth of July, and Disney will certainly go all out when it comes to fireworks! Be prepared for the Fourth of July crowds if you intend to visit the park to celebrate.

July Disneyland Crowds

Crowd calendars are very popular, but they can also be a bit unpredictable. That being said, the pandemic has made predicting crowds even more difficult than normal.

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

July is a very popular month to visit the Disneyland Resort. Be prepared for summer crowds throughout the entire month. The Fourth of July will likely bring additional crowds as well so plan accordingly!
