Disneyland Resort Crowd Report – November 16 to 22, 2014
Disneyland crowd levels were up last week but not significantly so, except for Saturday. We tended to miss low with our predictions all week but we still managed to get within one index level of what we observed most days.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Disneyland Resort Crowd Report:

Thanksgiving week crowds are extreme at Disneyland Park. Many celebrate the week at the resort, clog up the hotels and fill both parks each day. Arrive early, use a touring plan, re-optimize while in the parks and prepare to call an ‘audible’.
