Disneyland Wait Times for March 2026

The Happiest Place on Earth has been even happier than usual lately.

Disney California Adventure just hosted its most successful Lunar New Year ever.

Also, fans learned that Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will survive into 2027.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the weather has been night and day better than in Florida.

Frankly, everything’s going as well as it possibly could at Disneyland Resort.

So, let’s enjoy that fact while we discuss Disneyland’s wait times for March 2026.

About Disneyland Resort

I cannot remember the last time that Disneyland possessed this kind of momentum.

Everything seems to be going right at the park as Imagineers prep for the future. As I discussed last week, everyone’s paying attention to the development of a garage here.

When Disney breaks ground there, we officially begin a new era at Disneyland Resort.

These are the changes park officials negotiated with Anaheim’s City Council.

With DisneylandForward nearly here, legitimate theme park expansion is on the menu for the first time in a quarter-century.

Meanwhile, all the special events at the park have gone over extraordinarily well.

Disneyland even hosted the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

I (almost unintentionally) watched a lot of this event on ESPN, as I often have SportsCenter on in the background.

What I noticed is how happy the various Seahawks members appeared to be at Disneyland.

Less than 24 hours before then, they’d played in the football game of their lives.

Despite this fact, several of them were enjoying their first visit to Disneyland.

A couple of them even proudly displayed their First Visit buttons on camera.

That’s the kind of free advertising companies rarely receive, and it speaks to the greatness of Disneyland.

So, the question becomes whether Disney officials can sustain that momentum in 2026.

This year should prove challenging due to all the construction occurring at Disney California Adventure.

Last year, Disney effectively ended most of its Marvel series and other live performances.

So, a 2026 visit will prove less kinetic, but it’s also a bit light on offerings compared to recent years.

Before we get started, I’ll quickly remind you about the rules here. I lie in the title of these things.

The article is for March, but we’re obviously evaluating wait times for the previous month.

Longtime readers of these articles know that Disney California Adventure is its own thing.

This park doesn’t always align with whatever’s happening at Disneyland Park.

Despite the fact that they’re siblings and next-door neighbors, DCA behaves differently.

That may be particularly true at times like Lunar New Year, when DCA hosts exclusive, limited-time offerings.

Radiator Spring Racers

So, did they behave similarly or did they wildly diverge? Let’s find out.

Here are the average wait times at DCA last month:

• Radiator Springs Racers – 90 minutes, down 2
• Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – 76 minutes, up 12
• Soarin’ Over California – 60 minutes, up 2

• Toy Story Midway Mania! – 56 minutes, up 1

Overall, Lunar New Year fans waited for an average of 38 minutes per attraction.

That’s one minute more per attraction. So, yeah, DCA is off doing its own thing again.

Based on this data, you can understand why DCA hosts month-long Lunar New Year events.

Fans cannot get enough of the exclusive characters on display during the exhibition.
