Best time to go to Disneyland?

Hola! This question has been popping in my head lately.

I was wondering,
When is the best time to go to Disneyland (when it's not crowed)?

Any good months, time of months, time of years would be good.

Thanks!
~PurpleAmy

One quick way to gauge how busy Disney expects the parks to be is to check their annual passholder blockout dates. The So Cal Select blockout dates can give you a rough idea about crowds in the park. The most attractive dates, those that tend to draw crowds, are blocked out.

Of course, that doesn't mean all of the remaining days wont be crowded. October, for example, can get pretty busy when the holiday decorations start to show up.

Hmm. Days Disneyland Isn't crowded...
Hmmmmm. I think that the best time to go is
Days when there is school and such. Like the
weekdays- And in the morning-ish afternoon.
But yeah, There are alot of black out days :P.
And I think the worst time to go are on major
holidays - like christmas. And Fridays. o.O.
Theres really no Months that don't have alot of people
coming to disneyland. XD.

I have heard that last week was a terrific time to go. It wasn't crowded until I believe the 24th or so. But, around holidays: NO NOOO!! Never in summer either. Not in 7 years do not go. Like.. Every (I think) 7 years or so there is an earthquake. Blek.. Those shake you up.. But. Always fill up your gas when you get there, and in Disneyland, if there is an earthquake, you're in the safest place to be!

I was in California for one week in my whole life, and it just so happened a magnitude 4.8 earthquake hit LA when I just so happened to be there.

Back OT:

GO EARLY!!

We went to Disneyland in late June. Summer+Theme Parks=Crowds, however being at Disneyland on opening got us on every major ride we wanted to see, with waits of no more than 10 minutes. This includes: Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder, Pirates, and Mansion. (We got a FP for Indy.) By the time we got done the E-Tickets, Disneyland was bursting at the seams, and it was early-afternoon.

Take the advice of the previous posters - go during the off-season. However, if you must go in summer...

GET THERE EARLY!

That's all you need to know.

NOT during summer, if you really care about crouded-ness. Maybe during the chilly times of year, when not as many people are walking about the park.

Well, being born in California and have been going my entire life... do not go during= Summer break, Winter break, spring break. Dont go during those. Those are pretty much all blackout dates. You can maybe go on New years day because... New years Ever= Party= Tired. So there you go!

We are going soon

I think I have a ride guide too if you need that.

Go on the Big rides in the morning such as Space Mountain.... as soon as it opens.
