Is it true that Superbowl Sunday is the best day to go to Disneyland because of low attendance?

I heard this back in the early 90's, before FastPass and all that followed. Don't know if it remains true today.

Not for about the last 5 years, from what I've heard.

i was researching this because i was planning to go today assuming that was the case - it’s surprisingly the opposite. apparently super bowl sunday has been tracking higher crowds than the average sunday over the last few years. i guess everyone thinks alike!

A lot has changed since the early 1990's.

Super Bowl Sunday is usually a tad busier than normal compared to the average AP Sunday. Even during rainy weather the park stay busy, and today is beautiful and 72 degrees. Both parks are noticeably busy today, one of the busiest days since the holidays ended, with Disneyland open 8am to Midnight and DCA open 8am to 10pm.

E Ticket Wait Times at 1:30pm:

Star Wars: Rise Before Dawn is having a rather disastrous day. It didn't open until 10:45 and then 20 minutes later it broke down for 2 hours. Currently at Boarding Group 32.

I am here right now! Lines have been long all day so far. I am going to see if it dies down once the game starts.

It’s the week when people flood Reddit asking where they can watch the game on property, especially since ESPN left

Apparently lines were short in WDW.

The Superbowl is a big event, but it is not for everyone. At the very least you might see a dip during the game, but not everyone is going to run off and watch the game.
