Visiting Disneyland in June 2025: Grad Nites, Pixar Fest, 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 2025. These popular ticketed events will likely be returning to California Adventure in 2025. 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 15. 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.
The highly anticipated Pixar Fest will likely be back in 2025, but no official announcement has been made yet. Last year, the event lasted from April 26 through August 4. Prepare to be immersed in a world of vibrant decorations, special menus, and unique merchandise, as the theme parks, hotels, and Downtown Disney District embrace the magic of Pixar for a limited time. This celebration of friendship will feature heartwarming entertainment centered around beloved Pixar stories.
Grad Nites is a special ticketed event that will likely be back in 2025. Last year, the parties took place on select dates in both May and June. There were three ticket options starting ranging in price from $109-$229. Keep in mind that these special events do attract crowds to the parks on these particular dates… especially at Disney California Adventure. Here’s a look at last year’s details:
- Disneyland Grad Nite Private Party Experience at Disney California Adventure – Ticketed grads will gain access to Disney California Adventure Park after 9:00 PM for an “immersive, once-in-a-lifetime celebration.”
-
Ticket Prices: $109-$114 per person

June Weather
Overall, the weather in Anaheim is starting to feel more “summer-like” in the month of June. The average high is 81 degrees and the low is typically around 61 degrees. June can also be a bit humid, especially in the morning hours.
June 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, 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.
June is a very popular month to visit the Disneyland Resort. Be prepared for summer crowds throughout the month!
