Disneyland Wait Times for July 2022

School is out in California, which should lead to longer waits at the two theme parks.

After all, a staggering percentage of Disneyland Resort’s attendance comes from the locals within the Golden State.

So, when families have more vacation days, crowds increase. It’s not rocket science.

On the plus side, Disney has turned its crowd control tactics into an art form. As such, there’s a chance we don’t track significant changes this time.

Here are the average Disneyland Resort wait times for the most recent month.

Okay, I stepped in it last month after a previous cold take regarding Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

I’d asserted that the lines at Disneyland Park never approach the duration of the ones at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Almost immediately afterward, Hollywood Studios lines decreased as park officials enhanced throughput.

That park has careened wildly over the past month but has averaged an overall wait of 125 minutes.

So, Disneyland fans should feel pretty good about the 85-minute average for Rise of the Resistance this month.

You’re standing in line 40 minutes less than those suckers in Orlando! Although, on the downside, you are waiting five minutes more this month than last time.

You’ll notice that Splash Mountain spiked due to the increasingly hot weather at the park. But, of course, that’s standard behavior during summer vacation.

Disney California Adventure

Over the past few months, two attractions have required more line time than all the others at Disney California Adventure.

Radiator Springs Racers has stood as the park alpha for a decade now, and that remains true to this day.

The Cars Land centerpiece struggled through a tough month with downtime at the start and end of June.

For the entire month, guests waited an average of 100 minutes here, an increase of 19 minutes.

WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure also increased a bit, but the gap has widened between the two attractions.

A few months ago, WEB SLINGERS averaged longer waits. Now, it’s settled at 68 minutes, up nine minutes from last time.

Still, that’s a far cry from Radiator Springs Racers. I suspect that the mechanical issues on that ride played a significant factor in the difference, though.

• Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – 65 minutes, no change

The Grizzly River Run surge reinforces what I said earlier about Splash Mountain. Even Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend were cooling off here the other day.

People need wet rides to survive the summer in Southern California.

Overall, Disney California Adventure attractions averaged a wait of 39 minutes, up six minutes from last time.

So, people waited 39 minutes per attraction at Disneyland Resort this month.

Those numbers should increase over the next month before dropping dramatically for the following two months.
