Posted waits and park hours

Powered by ThemeParks.wiki. Its public API supplies posted standby waits, attraction status and published operating schedules. A successful retrieval timestamp describes when we collected a response, not when every attraction’s wait last changed.

Park announcements

Event entries link to Disney’s own announcement pages. A verified event date is a sourced fact. The points assigned to it by our annual crowd rules are our assumptions.

• Holidays at the Disneyland Resort
• Halloween Time
• Oogie Boogie Bash
• Official operating calendar

Holidays and school coverage

US federal holidays and observances follow OPM’s published holiday rules. A federal observance does not mean that every school or employer closes on that date.

The current school source is LAUSD Harvard Elementary’s published calendar. It covers one school. We do not present it as complete regional school-break coverage.

Photography

The supplied castle photograph is by Toni Pomar, from the user-provided Unsplash file GCpsKujUphc. It is illustrative photography and should not be used to identify an Anaheim park feature. Supporting imagery: Kevin Schmid (palms), Daniyar Orazov (pumpkins), and Mark Rabe (lights). See the Unsplash license.

Type and site assets

Figtree and Newsreader are self-hosted under the SIL Open Font License. License files are distributed with the fonts. The calendar-grid mark and page layouts were created for this project.

Coverage and freshness

Unannounced dates are left unknown. When an automatic source check fails, the last verified event record is retained with a warning. Forecasts expire after 48 hours; cached ride observations are hidden after 24 hours. See the method page for calculation details.
