Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Disneyland in March 2024.

Disneyland Crowds In March

If you’re visiting Disneyland in March, be prepared for high crowds at times. This can translate into some long lines. The crowds will get larger as the month goes on and more kids are out of school for spring break.

Good news! You can still have a great vacation even if you’re visiting at a busy time of year. I’ve got lots of info for dealing with high crowd levels here. If you’re looking for lower crowds, try to visit beginning of the month before the spring break crowds are in full swing. The end of the month will be more crowded.
