stay until 11:00 closing

Wednesday June 4th: 9:30 California Adventure

Thursday June 5th: Disneyland 8:00am for “Magic Morning”

dinner at Storyteller’s Café 6:00
stay at DL until 9:00 closing- grad night

Friday June 6th: Aquarium of the Pacific leave @ 9:00am for 10:15 entry
try to stop at a beach to dip our toes in the pacific!

DL Fireworks 9:25pm
F! 10:30pm
Stay until midnight

Saturday June 7th: Relaxing morning
late breakfast? where?
swim

DL dinner at Blue Bayou 4:30
CA Electrical Parade 8:45pm

Sunday June 8th: DL 7:00am for “Magic Morning”

Any tips? What are some good filler things to do on our Saturday 2:00 DL arrival? I know it will be crowded! Hopefully, we can still get some fastpasses!

One thing I suggest is not doing Fantasmic and fireworks on the same night. Instead, see the 8:45 Electric Parade and 10:30 Fantasmic on one night and the fireworks on the other. It's much easier to go from the EP to Fantasmic, than RDCT to Fantasmic.

For your late start on Saturday or your arrival evening, you can hang out in Downtown Disney. They've got tons of shops, some great restaurants, an ESPN Zone (sports arcade), and AMC theaters.

Thanks, for the tip! We will flip flop the two! On Saturday, we plan on just relaxing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. My concern is more what to do arriving on a crowded Saturday in the mid afternoon. What are some attractions at DL that don't get too crowded?

FWIW, here are some ideas:

FastPasses should still be available for Buzz Lightyear (BLAB), BTMRR, Roger Rabbit (RRCTS), and maybe Space Mtn (SM).

Enchanted Tiki Room

Mark Twain Riverboat

The movie in the Opera House: "The First 50 Magical Years"

Main Street Cinema: 6 Mickey Mouse cartoons

DL Railroad (the Full Circle Tour) & take a look inside the Main St. station

DL Monorail (DTD to Tomorrowland)

Pirates Lair (on Tom Sawyer Island)

Winnie the Pooh

Tarzan's Treehouse

Parade of Dreams

HISTA

Innoventions
