Disneyland Wait Times for March 2022
We’re at an interesting time on the annual theme park calendar. Spring Break remains a few weeks away, but guests have another reason to visit Disneyland Resort.
The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has opened. It does tend to increase foot traffic at both parks.
Will we notice an impact this month? Let’s find out as we examine the average wait times for Disneyland Resort for March of 2022.
Disneyland Resort
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance towers above the other attractions at Disneyland Park in terms of demand. And why wouldn’t it?
Imagineers somehow combined vital elements from many theme park attractions to build one super-ride. It’s like the Voltron of Disney parks.
For the past month, guests waited an average of 80 minutes, down six minutes from last time.
All I’ll say is that tourists at Disney’s Hollywood Studios wish that the wait time there was just 80 minutes. You’re very lucky, Californians!

I should add that we’re comparing times with late January, one of the least crowded periods on the annual calendar.
Also, guests were rushing to Mickey’s Toontown, which closes today for a calendar year. It was the last chance to ride Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin in 2022.
Disney California Adventure
At Disney California Adventure, the reign of WEBSLINGERS – A Spider-Man Adventure as the top attraction has come to an end.
Everyone expected Radiator Springs Racers to return to the top at some point, just as it has for the past decade.
That actually happened last month and has continued into March. For the past four weeks, Radiator Springs Racers has averaged a wait of 81 minutes.
So, the Cars ride is technically the one with the longest lines at Disneyland Resort. That wait is also up six minutes from last time.
WEBSLINGERs finishes second again with an average wait of 75 minutes, up five minutes from the prior period.
Here are the other wait times at DCA:
- Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – 70 minutes, up 17
- Toy Story Midway Mania! – 60 minutes, up 4
- Soarin’ Over California/Soarin’ Around the World – 58 minutes, down 9

The average Disney California Adventure attraction required a wait of 36 minutes, up six minutes from last month.
You’ll notice the impact of the festival more in next month’s article. However, you can also track it in the bottom half of the above list.
The lesser rides at DCA all got a bump. That skew will continue through the end of Spring Break.
