Disneyland Wait Times for April 2022
As usual, park crowds at the Happiest Place on Earth increased from February to March.
You may not remember this trend because the parks weren’t open last February and March and only half of the previous March. I swear it’s a thing, though.

So, how much longer were the lines? Keep reading to discover the Disneyland Wait Times for the past month!
Disneyland Resort
As usual, we’ll start with the current alpha at Disneyland.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance averaged a wait of 86 minutes, up six minutes from last time.

As I said in the previous article, Disneyland fans aren’t happy with a wait approaching an hour and a half, but Walt Disney World guests dream of that day.
The waits for Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are often an hour longer than at Disneyland.

The average Disneyland attraction required a wait of 31 minutes, up one minute from last time. So, the effect I mentioned wasn’t dramatic here.
Disney California Adventure
Last month, the run of WEBSLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure came to an end as an existing favorite surpassed it. Honestly, we shouldn’t be surprised, though.
Save for short periods here and there, Radiator Springs Racers has dominated Disney California Adventure for a decade now.
This past month, the Cars ride came with a wait of 76 minutes, which is actually down five minutes from last time.

Right now, the two rides that you should plan your park visit around are Rise of the Resistance and Radiator Springs Racers.
As for WEBSLINGERS, its 58-minute average is actually 12 minutes less than Space Mountain, which is hard for me to understand. It’s also 17 minutes lower than last time.
So, the passion for WEBSLINGERS may be waning already. The drop stands in sharp contrast to the sustained appeal of Rise of the Resistance.

Okay, so forget everything I said about crowds increasing. That’s obviously not the case at Disney California Adventure. I mean, it’s not even close.
The average attraction at this park came with a wait of 29 minutes, down 6 minutes from last time.

So, attendance was way down at Disney California Adventure during March and the first few days of April. That’s…unusual.
