AnaheimCrowds2026 Strategy Guide

November Strategy

November is a transition month. It's the "bridge" between the spooky fall and the winter holidays.

November Demand Drivers

  • Holiday Prep

    Mid-month, the park flips to Christmas decor. This transition draws massive fan interest but light tourist volume.

  • Thanksgiving Peak

    The entire week of Thanksgiving is a capacity risk. Expect long waits across the board.

When to go

The "Post-Halloween Lull" is one of the year's best windows for low crowd density.

Where the Day Gets Away From You
