Disneyland June '24 Analysis

June has come and gone across Disneyland Resort in 2024. What were wait times like, how did they compare to the past, how was Lightning Lane availability, and what were the lightest & busiest days to go? Lets take a look at the data to find out!

A resort-wide view of the daily average wait times shows (above) that typically Mondays and Tuesdays were the busiest days with the highest average wait times. The last three Sundays of the month were particularly light, thanks, in part, to the heat. The monthly average wait time, shown below, was up 1 minute over May of this year, and tied with February at 29 minutes.

At Disneyland, wait times were down 1 minute from June of 2023 during peak hours. As mentioned previously, hotter days tended to keep wait times down, as evidenced by June 23rd in the graph below.

When compared to 2019, before the pandemic, wait times this past June were up over 7 minutes on average. Compared to June of 2022, wait times were down 7 minutes. Overall, there was little difference between June '23 and '24 though.

The graph below shows the percentage of time at each time of the day that Lightning lane was available for a given attraction (green means it was likely available at a given time, red not likely). Most attractions maintained availability up to 3 PM, at which attractions like Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, and the Matterhorn began to reach capacity on some days.
