AnaheimCrowds2026 Strategy Guide

February Strategy

February balances a relaxed "off-season" vibe with localized surges driven by DCA festivals and holiday weekends.

February Demand Drivers

  • Lunar New Year

    DCA becomes a hub for foodies. While this spikes California Adventure, Disneyland Park often remains a refuge.

  • President's Day

    A major crowd spike. This holiday weekend pulls in large numbers of local Magic Key holders.

When to go

First Two Weeks Mid-Week

The post-January lull continues into early Feb, making for excellent walk-on wait times.

Where the Day Gets Away From You

Valentine's Day Crowds

Evening dining reservations vanish weeks in advance. If you aren't doing a "Date Night," avoid the parks after 5 PM.
