Disneyland Wait Times for April 2026
Plenty has changed since the last time we discussed Disneyland crowds.
Okay, honestly, only one thing has changed, but it’s a biggie.
Bluey’s Best Day Ever at Disneyland Resort
Bluey’s Best Day Ever! is now delighting guests at Disneyland Park’s Fantasyland Theatre.
Thus far, crowds only have eyes for Bluey and her family. But there’s a catch.
Bluey’s World
Bluey didn’t debut until late in the month. So, her presence won’t be felt as much until next month.
Until then, let’s discuss Disneyland’s wait times for April 2026.
About Disneyland Resort

I already mentioned the March highlight at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Disneyland Resort received the first official Bluey theme park experience for Disney.nThere’s also a Bluey roller coaster at Alton Towers in England if you didn’t know.
Let’s be real, though. In terms of scale, Bluey at Disneyland dwarfs it.
More importantly, this Bluey experience is just the first of multiple ones coming to the parks.
Walt Disney World will add its own in late May, and I strongly suspect Disney is making adjustments.
I say this because the massive swarm of people at Bluey’s Best Day Ever! got everyone’s attention.
We’re barely a week into this experience. Thus far, it’s exhibiting a kind of gravitational pull.
Fans are not only aware of Bluey’s introduction but, in fact, heavily prioritizing it.
I cannot say with confidence whether this trend will continue long-term, but I suspect it might.
As I’ve discussed ad nauseam, Bluey has been the most popular streaming program for years now.
Importantly, parents love it just as much as their children, as it provides subtle life advice.
Given the significance of the show to families, I expect this experience to sustain its popularity.
Then again, I thought Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour would dominate on Disney+ for six months.

It didn’t, which goes to show that you never really know what will have staying power in society.
Still, I feel really good that Bluey will remain the story at Disneyland and Disney World this summer.
As such, I’m anticipating April to play out at least somewhat similarly to March.
Sure, Bluey will slow down some in popularity once its initial demand is satisfied.
That will take a while, though. To a larger point, we’re looking back, not forward this week.
About Disneyland Park Wait Times
Disneyland Crowds
Despite the name, these are the average wait times for last month, March, rather than April.
Please keep in mind that we’ve had Spring Break occur during this timeframe.

For families, this break spikes attendance during a couple of weeks since Spring Break varies.
This year’s was more static than most, though, as it most often fell during the middle of the month.
