Can we fit it all in?

[jacobsmommy]

We plan to be at DL/CA on June 24, 25, and 26. We'll be skipping rides that pg women can't ride (except my dh wants to do Indy). He gets motion sickness, so he doesn't ride roller coasters anyway. And our almost three year old isn't 40 inches yet for Splash. They may be daredevils and do the Matterhorn, but should we be able to fit everything else in at the two parks? I know we'll skip a lot at CA due to my condition and dh's stomach. We'd like to maybe be able to do some favorites twice. What do you think?

I think you'll be good. You have three full days, only one of which is a weekend (and incidentally, I'll be there that same time!). Given your decreased list of rides that makes getting done all your must and able to do's, you should be fine. Just make sure you get to the parks early, at opening, make use of fastpass when applicable and go over to DCA when the crowds at Disneyland get intense. And with Nemo open, they surely will. I recommend your husband and threee year old do the Fantasyland side of Matterhorn vs. the Tomorrowland side. Its tamer, better for testing the waters with a little one's first time on that one!

Have a great trip to DL!

I too will be there during that time (and hopefully meeting Amy at some point ) and I agree you should be fine with three days and the limited rides you want to experience.

Not sure of any previous WDW or DLR experience with your three year old, but make sure you see Turtle Talk With Crush at DCA if he/she has not yet seen it.

We saw it last year at WDW and he loved it! I hope we will have a less rushed experience than we did last year at WDW, but there's also less space to cover. I think that leaving out the thrill rides will definately help. Hopefully we'll be able to do certain rides (Peter Pan and Monsters Inc.-his favorite movies right now) more than once.

I think you should be fine. We had 3 days in the parks last year and managed to do everything we wanted, including all the shows, parades, and SHOULD have seen the fireworks but they were canceled last minute.

We are going for 3 days in June as well and I hope we can still manage to do everything we want and double up on some rides! It will be busy in June though compared to our March trip last year....

The nice thing about Disneyland is that park hopping is really easy. Park hopping at WDW can literally take over an hour whereas at DL it just takes a couple of minutes. So that helps you to go back and forth with ease.

And do Peter Pan very first thing, it builds quickly, doesn't have fastpass and never seems to diminish. I have seen parents holding sleeping kids at 11:00 at night in a very long line. Monsters Inc. is usually very easy to ride any time of day. Oh, and the Turtle Talk at DCA is a larger setting which is nice. You will have a great time and I think have no trouble.

Oh yeah, the Hydroguy's and the Amy&Dan's will definitely be meeting face to face! If nothing else, we can really get to know each other in the five hour long Nemo line !

That is just what Mr. Nosy Dan said as he reads my posts/threads over my shoulder. He wants to meet the man who taught us that not everybody need be in DCA for him to get us fastpasses!
