The best time for your Disneyland vaction so that you can beat the crowds is the first few weeks of June. Most schools in California aren’t out for summer yet and spring break is long over, so the parks are unusually empty. The weather is warm enough to visit the beach while you’re there as well.

Once you’re tired of riding rides at the parks you can go over to Downtown Disney shopping district. The area features a movie theater, jazz club, several restaurants, and lots of fun stores to visit. mikaylarich
