What day to skip?

[seagodess]

2 weeks and we will be there . We have 4 open days, but will only be going to the park 3 of them. We have between Sun 20th-wed 23rd. Our plan was to do Sun, mon, tue, then have wed (the day before we leave) as a relaxing day of just swimming and hanging out. Now I'm not sure if we should do the relax day on monday instead. We will for sure be going to the parks sun 20th and tue 22nd (DS's bday). I looked at the calendar and saw that Mon & Tue have the things scheduled, including aladdin (dont know if we will go though). However Wed they had the Phineas and Ferb dance party at DCA. We are big fans of Phineas and Ferb, so I'm wondering if its something worth going to? Also any idea if mon or wed would be less busy? Since they are both week days I wasnt sure if it made a difference.
So incase I confused you, hear is what I was thinking.
Sun-Parks for sure.
Mon-Parks or relax
Tue-Parks for sure.
Wed-Parks or relax depending on Mon.

If it was me, we would go for some time each of those four days even if we spent several hours relaxing on one or two of those days. Since you seem committed to three days though, I would suggest Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. You will end your trip on the high of being in Disneyland rather than just hanging out one more day after the big excitement. You will have gotten a chance to relax and explore other things in the middle of your trip rather than going hard for three days in a row. Maybe then it will be easier to get an early start and get more things done on the days you go to the park. Finally, there's a chance Wednesday might be slightly less busy than a Monday. Oops, just remembered to check and see that the Wednesday is a grad night so maybe not less busy. I still think I would rest on Monday and finish my trip with Disney on Wednesday.

I agree-I'd definitely want to be in the park on our last day. It doesn't cost much to add a fourth day to your passes-is that an option for you?

If you can afford it I'd pay for an extra day and do two half days with relaxing and swimming. That way you get to recharge during your stay. We normally go to WDW but are headed to DL this year. Last Sept. We went to a park everyday for 8 days but also took a break for swimming and relaxing everyday.

Adding a 4th day is not a option for us. We would rather do 3 full days rather than spend the extra money on 2 half days. We feel that if we are spending that much money per day, we need to spend as much time as we can in the parks as we can. We will take a break mid day each day for lunch and a rest in our hotel room, but probably no more than 2-3hrs. Other than that we plan to spend every minute we can in the parks.
