Disneyland Resort This Week: March 13–19, 2026
We're deep into spring break territory, but the data shows clear winners and losers. Here's what the data says about crowds at Disneyland, California Adventure, and Universal Studios Hollywood for March 13–19, 2026.
The short version: Universal Studios Hollywood is your best bet this week (avg WTI 11.9), while Disney California Adventure runs the busiest. But the day you go matters almost as much as which park.
The Big Picture: Where Should You Go?
Here's how the three parks stack up this week:
| Park | WTI Range This Week | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Universal Studios Hollywood | 9–14 | Very manageable |
| Disneyland | 13–16 | Light crowds expected |
| Disney California Adventure | 21–26 | Consistently busy |
The Surprise: Universal Studios Hollywood Is Quiet
Universal Studios Hollywood is the clear winner this week, with WTI values in the 9–14 range. That's light — you'll walk onto most rides, and even headliners should be reasonable.
Meanwhile, Disney California Adventure sits at the other end with WTI 21–26 (busy). The contrast is stark.
