These Blockout Dates For Passholders May Be the Best Times to Visit Disneyland

By Haley Lyndes

A trip to Disneyland on a Saturday in July might sound like a terrible idea. After all, everyone knows that Summer is Disneyland's peak season. The combination of no school and good weather attracts tourists, and Saturdays, in particular, tend to be the busiest (i.e. long ride waits, long lines for food, and mass amounts of people). However, so many people hold passes now, we have a theory that Disney blockout days (the most historically busy days of the year) may actually be the best days to go. In fact, most passholders can't even get into Disney throughout the months of June and July.

So, should you go on a blockout date? Well, we're not necessarily recommending the idea, but if you're debating between a few days during peak season, we do think there's a theory to it. Who knows, you might even be pleasantly surprised! Here are the blockout dates for the rest of 2020:
