We are 2 adult Disney lovers so will want to do as much as possible while still having time to stroll around soaking up the atmosphere of the parks. We have 3 day tickets plus Halloween party tickets for Wed Sep 20. I'm thinking Sunday and Tuesday at DL, using MM on Tuesday, Monday and the 3 hours before the party on Wednesday for DCA and then just enjoying Halloween festivities at the party . Do you think all day Monday and the 3 hrs before the party on Wednesday is enough for DCA?

It depends on what you like to do. When I'm with just adults, I like DCA a lot because I love Screamin (could ride this 15 times in a row and never get sick of it). And GotG I could ride 50 times in a row! A lot of adults like DCA because they can enjoy an adult beverage. I don't drink so I can't comment on that, but I think that's a perk for a lot of people when it's just grown ups. I'm sure it'll be plenty of time, though. Anyway you could do hoppers? I LOVE to hop and now with Max Pass, it's even better!!
 
We can definitely get hoppers and may. I'm not sure if we will use them at least the first two days though because we will want to see almost everything in each park.
 
At that time of year, fireworks and F! are only being offered on weekends (Fri (until the MHP starts), Sat and Sun), so if you wanted to see either/both, you'll need to visits DL on Sunday night.

I also think it really depends on what you mean by "everything"...I don't think you can see everything in DCA in 1 day plus 3 hours. You can see a lot, but you'll have to make some choices. You'll need at least one nighttime to see WoC and GotG-Monsters After Dark. It might be tough to do both depending on the timing (WoC takes time if you want a good view - otherwise you might consider one of the packages).
 

Thanks for the input. We are doing DL on Sunday to see the fireworks and Fantasmic. What is the Gotg monsters after dark? I thought Gotg is a ride, similar to ToT at HS.
 
GotG is like ToT, but for HalloweenTime, they're offering a special version (I think it's basically a new song, but I'm not quite sure).

To add to this, the description I've seen is that the After Dark is supposed to pick up where Mission Breakout ends. So basically it's a continuation story.

Not sure if someone might read this that cares about spoilers so I won't say exactly what the description said it would be, but I'm definitely excited for it myself.

As a couple we always used hoppers. DL gets really crowded feeling in the afternoon--hop. Got a better fp over there--hop. Want to see a show--hop. It's so much harder with kids. Definitely more enjoyable without.
