Disneyland June Crowd Calendar

June is normally a busy time of year for the Disneyland Resort as the first month of summer. Local area schools are out for the summer along with most schools in the United States. It is a popular time to visit just for that reason so crowds should be expected daily- weekday vs. weekend won't necessarily matter too much.

Since Disneyland has a large population of Magic Key holders, it can be helpful to check the blockout date calendar on Disney's website. In June, the lowest tier pass (Imagine Key) is completely blocked out while the second lowest tier pass (Enchant Key) only has a few weekday visits available out of the block-out dates. This means that the month of June Magic Key holders will have a significantly small impact on the parks aside from the higher tier passes (Inspire, Believe, & Dream Key) which typically have zero to minimal block-out dates in June. You can expect more tourists to travel to the parks at this time though so this doesn't mean that the parks will be empty but having two large groups of passholders blocked out from visiting will definitely help ease up the crowd levels in the parks. We highly recommend you utilize our Disneyland Morning Strategy and Disney California Adventure Morning Strategy.

As always with any Disney trip, make sure to grab dining reservations, read up on Disneyland Genie+, and arrive early to the parks every single day. Being there 30 minutes before the park officially opens allows you to experience the park with smaller crowds. Those two or three hours before 11AM are precious- make sure you're there to experience them. Staying after the fireworks is also a good strategy as those last few hours of the day can easily be the most empty as many families clear out for the day and the lines for attractions drastically decrease.

Disneyland Weather in June

The weather for Disneyland starts to warm up with an average high temperature of 81 degrees and an average low temperature of 61 degrees.

The humidity levels increase to around 70% this time of year creating an effect known by the locals as June Gloom. In the mornings it is possible to see more clouds and fog creating that gloom effect which typically burns out by the afternoon. You can see our full guide to Disneyland weather for an overview of what to expect throughout the year.

Despite the possible impact of gloomy mornings, the days will be longer with the longest days in June averaging around 14 and a half hours.

Tips for Visiting Disneyland in June

When it comes to visiting Disneyland in June, we have some tried and true hacks for having a magical time regardless of all the special events happening this year!

What to Wear 

One of the most frequently asked guest questions is: what should I wear to Disneyland? First, you should take a look at the weather the closer it gets to your trip date. Considering the possible effects of gloomy mornings and fog, dressing in layers would be advisable. I always like to bring a small lightweight hoodie that's easy to take off in the afternoon and stuff in my park bag.

You will see some hot days as the average high is 81 degrees in June. Plus all of that cement in Disneyland is known for making it feel even hotter once inside the theme parks. So it's wise to plan for hot weather by bringing shorts, tanks, and cooler clothes that you find comfortable for hot weather. Don't forget those layers- you can always rent a locker to store any hoodies in when the sun comes out in the afternoons and heats up the park.

What to Pack 

Considering the high average temperature for the month of June, I would plan to pack summer attire along with some light layers for those foggy mornings.

Don't forget warm weather necessities like sunscreen, portable fans, cooling towels, and other items all aimed at keeping you cool on hot days. If you find yourself wanting one of these while you're on vacation, you'll end up paying a high price in the parks or at your hotel. Best to come prepared. If you're planning on hitting the beach, don't bother bringing towels, and just use the ones from your hotel. Plan your beach day for the afternoon so you avoid any morning fog and clouds.

What to Expect

There are a few things you should expect when choosing June as your month to visit Disneyland:

• June Gloom- some out-of-state guests are always surprised by the June Gloom weather in Southern California. Be prepared for this in advance and bring light layers for the morning hours.
• See the new events- June always brings new things to Disneyland which is why visiting in the summer can be such a great time to come!
• Reservations Required- Reservations are required along with a park ticket to visit Disneyland for each day of your visit and park hopping is available starting at 11AM. You can read more about how to make a reservation in our Disneyland reservation guide.
• Genie+ Replaced FastPass- the new Genie+ system is what permanently replaced FastPass at Disneyland. This paid access allows you to virtually reserve your spot in line for many popular attractions and skip the longer standby line.

But most of all, make sure you plan in advance so your trip goes as smoothly as possible at the Happiest Place on Earth!
