Saturday's Disneyland spring-break demand set the 2026 high-water mark so far. Across our Anaheim-adjacent portfolio, occupancy hit 100% with ADR 22% above March average.
What drove the peak
- Disney ticket pricing changes drove families to book earlier rather than later — pushing Saturday demand up
- Spring Break staggered across California districts concentrated peak-traveler overlap on this specific weekend
- Warm weather forecast pushed last-minute bookings higher than usual
What Anaheim hosts who were ready saw
- Premium rates held through the booking window — hosts who discounted in late February earned 15-20% less than hosts who held
- 4-bedroom inventory commanded a clear premium — family group sizes averaged 6.8 people
- Properties with dedicated kids' rooms (beyond just a pullout couch) booked first
What's still booking
Monday through Wednesday of next week remains soft. Families who booked Saturday-Sunday are already gone. Properties pricing aggressively for Mon-Wed can still capture extended-stay demand.
