Disneyland Wait Times for August 2022
Today, we’ll talk about the past month at Disneyland Resort. Please don’t let the title confuse you, though.
The concept of time prevents me from posting wait times for August. I…don’t know those yet.
So, we’ll discuss the average attraction wait times for last month, July.

As a reminder, July is usually the most popular month for tourism, and that’s doubly true at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Only Christmas Week witnesses a similar amount of crowd traffic as the month of July.

What I’m trying to do here is soften the blow, as these wait times will likely be the largest ones we track in 2022.
Without further ado, here are the Disneyland Resort wait times for July 2022, i.e., the busy season.

I’ve previously discussed the demand for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
This attraction anchors the newest expansion at Disneyland Park and dominates tourist attention.

Despite this fact, Disneyland guests should consider themselves fortunate, as the waits for this version of Rise of the Resistance are shorter than at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
For example, the Walt Disney World version of the ride averaged a wait of 125 minutes during a recent week.

For the month of July, the Disneyland version averaged only 80 minutes. So, you can do another attraction or two during that extra 45 minutes!
Rise of the Resistance also dropped five minutes from its average June wait time, which is interesting. Let’s see whether other attractions follow suit.

Disneyland Park Thoughts
I should add a couple of caveats here. First, some attractions we weren’t tracking in June came back in July.

Two of them are Pirates of the Caribbean and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. Notably, they raised the average slightly.
Conversely, Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes is one I only recently started tracking. Nevertheless, its modest wait time drops the overall average by more than a minute.

Still, this data suggests that crowds were smaller at Disneyland Park in July than in June, a surprising outcome.
We will contrast the data at Disney California Adventure before forming any conclusions, though.

Disney California Adventure
Over the last few months, the top two attractions at Disney California Adventure have remained the same and likely will do so indefinitely.
Those rides are the classic, Radiator Springs Racers, and the newest addition, WEBSLINGERS: — A Spider-Man Adventure.

During July, Radiator Springs Racers averaged a 98-minute wait overall, which is about the same as June. It’s a modest decline of two minutes.
Meanwhile, WEBSLINGERS held steady at 68 minutes, the same as last month.

We may have found the theoretical roof on Disneyland Resort wait times during the Park Pass era, my friends.

Overall, Disney California Adventure guests waited an average of 39 minutes at the park, the same as during June.
So, yeah. It appears that Disney’s current strategy of fewer guests paying more money is keeping wait times in check.
