FAQ
The most common questions about the 2026 Anaheim shift.
Is this live wait time data?
No. Live wait times are easily found in the official Disneyland app. AnaheimCrowds provides 2026-specific predictions that the app won't tell you.
Can you guarantee a low-crowd day?
Nobody can. Weather, ride breakdowns, and unannounced celebrity visits (Disney 'flushes') can ruin any forecast. We give you the probability, not a promise.
Why did the Rope Drop rules change in 2026?
Disney shifted to a 'Lightning Lane Premier' model for hotel guests. This removed their 30-minute early access, making the 8:00 AM rope drop a fair fight for the first time in a decade.
Are you affiliated with Disney?
Absolutely not. We are an independent strategist site. We provide the 'unfair advantage' that official sources are incentivized to hide.
