Which park which day?

[TheBigErn]

We are 4 adults and have 3 day hopper passes and staying at Grand Californian. We will be at DLR parks December 16,17, & 18. We have early access to DCA on the 16th and 17 and to DLP on the 18th. We want to ride everything. What strategy is recommended? Should we forgo one early access day to DCA? Use both early access days at DCA? Other?

I’d use all your early access days.

I like Disneyland daily’s plans. Google

Definitely both early access days at DCA. I’m at the GCH right now and we went for EMH at GCH yesterday and today and it was fantastic for wait times. EMH at DCA is especially good because it’s only open to hotel guests (vs at Disneyland where it’s shared with Magic Morning for people with 3 day or longer park hoppers), so the wait times are really really good. Soarin at EMH yesterday (early EMH though 7-8am) was so good that they were only loading the middle section for it. Though Cars still got a bit long-ish this morning towards the end of EMH.

Definitely use all your EMH.... especially if they are at 7:00 am. they are the best! Very little waiting for the rides at DCA (as previously stated, only DLR Hotel guests are allowed EMH in DCA. In Disneyland it is more crowded, but still good. Only Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are open (and not all of the rides in Fantasyland are open early)….still enough to have short lines, though! So worth it!
