Thanksgiving Day at the Disneyland Resort is characterized by significantly elevated attendance levels. This holiday period traditionally marks the commencement of the winter holiday season, resulting in a convergence of factors that contribute to substantial crowds. These factors include school breaks, family travel, and the introduction of holiday-themed attractions and entertainment.

The increased popularity of visiting the park during Thanksgiving stems from the opportunity for families to travel together during the school holiday, coupled with the unique seasonal offerings such as holiday parades, themed decorations, and special dining experiences. Historically, this period has consistently ranked among the busiest times of the year for the Disneyland Resort, often requiring extensive wait times for attractions and limited capacity at dining establishments. This impact extends beyond the actual holiday, affecting attendance patterns for several days surrounding it.
