Is mid-May a good time to go to Disneyland?

One question I get asked a lot is -

when’s a good time to go to Disneyland or Disney World?

Besides “any time you can go”, there are lots of great times to visit the parks.

We recently went to Disneyland in mid-May 2024, when three special events all collided:

• Season of the Force, a Star Wars Celebration

• Pixar Fest, celebrating friendship and all things Pixar

• Grad Night, a specially ticketed event for high school graduates

Watch this quick video for an honest review of this time of year and whether you should consider going mid-May 2025. Then scroll down to see Grad Night dates for 2025.

If you’re an early morning rope dropper and would love to take advantage of the quieter mornings during Grad Night, consider planning a trip that includes at least one of these dates in 2025:

May: 9, 12, 18, 21, 22, 27, 28, 30

June: 1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13
