Disneyland Wait Times for November 2022
The offseason has ended at the Happiest Place on Earth.
During September, fewer guests travel due to the start of the school year and other factors. Then, as we enter October, people turn into tourists again.

So, let’s look at the wait times for last month to determine what typical Halloween crowds are like at Disneyland in 2022.
Disneyland Resort
As usual, we’re calling this article the November update, but its wait times cover the month of October.

At Disneyland, this time of the year means Halloween. But, more importantly, it involves the ascension of Haunted Mansion Holiday.
That’s the ride that people wait nine months out of the year to experience. We got a glimpse of its crowds in the previous article.
Now, we’ll normalize the data with a full sample size. That’s nerd talk for evaluating the crowds at the Haunted Mansion overlay for an entire month.
The other Halloween x-factor is Oogie Boogie Bash, which causes the park to close early for most guests.
Since crowds diminish in size later in the day, these after-hours events have the odd ripple effect of increasing overall wait times.

Overall, guests waited an average of 28 minutes last month, only one minute more than during September.
This number would have been higher if not for the cold weather spells. They cratered the wait time at Splash Mountain.

Disney California Adventure
As a reminder, Disneyland Park isn’t the only place with popular holiday overlays. You’ll find three of them at Disney California Adventure as well.
For this reason, Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, and Mater’s Graveyard Jam-Boo-ree all claim larger crowds.

Overall, DCA is spinning its wheels a bit, though. Avengers Campus has driven attendance to its attractions, but the park crowds have remained static.
Still, at Monsters After Dark, guests waited an average of 100 minutes, which is up 20 minutes from September.

Meanwhile, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween averaged 30 minutes, five minutes more than last time.
Finally, Mater’s Graveyard Jam-Boo-ree massively increased to 25 minutes, which is eight minutes or nearly 50 percent.

As you can see, DCA packs in the guests for its holiday overlays. Frankly, Disney should add more since they all do so well.
Let’s be honest that the Luigi and Mater rides are on the lower end of Disney attractions in terms of quality.

If they’re increasing by this much, Disney’s missing out by not adding more overlays.
