Takeaways
Spring break at Disneyland spans March and April, peaking around Easter. Weekends during spring break can be less crowded due to local Magic Key holders being blocked out. Families should prioritize their schedules over school spring break dates. Rope drop is the best strategy for low crowds in the morning. Utilizing Lightning Lanes effectively can save time during busy periods. Dining at off-peak hours can help avoid long lines and crowded seating. The park has hidden seating areas that can be utilized for meals. Setting realistic expectations can lead to a more enjoyable experience. Encouraging family members to choose must-do rides can help manage expectations. Packing patience is essential for navigating the park during busy times.
