Plan your visit

For fewer crowds and better prices, aim for January to early March or late April to early May. Optimal weather can be found from March to May, or in October. Allow 3 to 5 days to thoroughly explore both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, plus the Downtown Disney District; a 4 or 5-day Park Hopper ticket offers a more relaxed visit. Consider combining your trip with Universal Studios Hollywood for additional theme park excitement or relax at Huntington Beach. John Wayne Airport (SNA) is the most convenient gateway, just a 20-minute drive away.
