Number of Days to see Disneyland

[robinrbr]

Hi, I'm new to this board!

We are heading to Disneyland at the beginning of June. We are trying to determine if we should go to the parks 3 or 4 days. We will spend the 4th doing something else if we don't go to DL. Anyway, does anybody have any idea how crowded the parks will be around the 6th of June? If it's crowded, I'm thinking 4 days would be better!

Three days should be considered a minimum at DLR. Four days is often better if you want to see many of the shows. However, the first week of June the shows are sparse so you many not be able to see some of them, and Fantasmic is down until later in June so you will miss that. When we do three days, we often feel like we would have liked one more day. When we do four days, it feels like it was one day too long. Our trip in late June will be for three days because my kids thought four days would be too much.

If you have young children, I'd suggest 4 days so that you can take your time and work around their schedules. If you don't have kids, and you will be spending at least two weekdays in the park (weekends are much more crowded), I'd say 3 days would probably work.

If it is your first time at DL I would do 4.

That way you can afford to take a midday break when the crowds are at there worst and still see everything (or almost everything). This is especially important if you have young children (or adults that can get cranky and act like young children).

I agree with this. Your feet will get tired and you'll want to take a break but if you only have three days you'll feel like you need to keep going so as not to waste any time. Take four days and then you can relax. We're actually taking a 9 day trip this year because we found that we were too tired to get the most out of our days. Of coures we wont' spend all nine days at DL we'll probably go to hollywood or something but it'll be nice to take things a little bit of a slower pace. Stop to smell the flowers type of vacation.

Im going from the 3-12 of June and I know what your going through. I was in that position last October. I would defiantely say 4 days. You can do it in 3 but if you do 4 days then your not so rushed and you have time to rest your feet a bit.

Thanks for all the great info! We have 3 boys (14, 11 and 8) that move pretty fast. We went to Disneyland over Spring Break a couple of years ago and had the best time and my little one was only 5 then. His favorite ride: Mulholland Madness (rode it 5 times!).

I agree again here. 4 days to see everything. Rushing is not fun for me so I like to take my time and really enjoy everything DL has to offer!
