For a comfortable Disneyland® experience, visit when the weather is pleasant. January is a favorite for many due to its cool temperatures.

April and June are ideal months for Disneyland® trips. April features pleasant spring weather, while June avoids the peak summer heat, enhancing comfort and enjoyment during your visit.
