On this page, you'll find theme park hours for Disneyland...but Disneyland Park ONLY. Disneyland's "sister" theme park, the Disney California Adventure Park, has hours of operation which are completely different. To discover those hours, please visit our page covering the Disney California Adventure Park hours of operation.Note: Disneyland reserves the right to change their operating hours at any time. This is NOT likely to affect visitors very much, since any adjustments are likely to be small (for example, opening one hour earlier or staying open one hour later than planned.) Yet, you should be prepared for the possibility of changes to the schedule.
How to maximize your time at Disneyland
How can you enter Disneyland Park as early as possible? Disneyland opens its theme park gates at the official opening time which has been announced for that date. BUT, the parking lot and the ticket booths open earlier. If you have parked your car, ridden the tram from the parking lot, and purchased your tickets all before opening time, then you'll be able to enter the park right at opening time.Since it can easily take an hour or more to park your car, pass through the security inspection line and purchase tickets, you'll be adding hours to your day at Disneyland if you take care of those chores before opening time. Purchasing your tickets online ahead of time is a good way of avoiding the ticket line, which will not only save time, but also some wear & tear on your family's nerves. It's not so fun to stand in line when there's no ride waiting at the end!
When the park closes, you WILL be able to board if you're already standing in line for a ride. Some families extend their time in the park by making sure they're in line for one of their favorite rides at Disneyland's closing time. Then, they continue to wait for the ride while the rest of the park empties out!

January 2012 Hours - Disneyland
The Christmas season ends at Disneyland Park on Sunday, January 8th. That's the last day you'll be able to catch the Christmas parade and all the other exciting holiday attractions which make the Christmas season at Disneyland so special. Beginning January 9th, Disneyland slips into its "slow tourist season," but the relative lack of crowds can make this a very pleasant time of the year to plan your theme park visit!What will the weather be like at Disneyland in Anaheim, California this month? During January, most days will be balmy and pleasant with high temperatures in the 60's and 70's F. Nights get nippy, however...and if you stay late at the park, you can expect temperatures in the 50's...or even down into the upper 40 degree range. Rain is sure to fall on some days during January...although the sunny days will outnumber rainy days by far. However, you do need to keep in mind that Disneyland stays open on rainy days, and will NOT give refunds nor rainchecks. Rain ponchos and jackets are both sold inside of Disneyland Park if you forget to bring your own.

Disneyland's February, 2012 Hours of Operation
February may be the month of love to some people...
...but at Disneyland Park, LEAP YEAR is the month's highlight! The entire month of February, 2012 will act as a giant build-up period for something very special that will be happening on February 29th. What's that?
An all-night celebration for LEAP DAY! You may not have realized that 2012 is a leap year, but Disney fans won't forget any time soon...not if they make plans to attend the all-day-all-night leap year party at Disneyland! No, Feb 29th isn't on a weekend...and no, most schools won't be having a vacation period at that time...but that's not going to stop an entire legion of Disney fans from descending on the park to enjoy the festivities!
What will the temperature be during February 29th's all-nighter? February is one of the colder months in Los Angeles...although that term is relative. For those of you who may be coming in from Colorado, Utah or other snowy states, it may not seem all that chilly. But, the weather probably WILL seem chilly to locals...who enjoy Southern California's usual February's usual daytime temperatures in the 60's and low 70's (and then head indoors in the evening.) As night descends, temps will drop down into the 50's, and then into the 40's as the Disneyland party continues on through the wee hours of the night. The range of temperatures between daytime and nighttime may span 30 degrees or more, so dressing in layers would be wise (if you plan to arrive during the warm part of the day and then stay all night.) But, enough said; no matter what the weather, you're sure to have fun!
