How many days at Disney?

[PumpkinCupcake]

I received a very lovely birthday present yesterday of flights to California for next May, and I cannot wait! I haven't been there in a few years, and I know there have been a few changes/additions to the parks, but can I ask how long people normally spend there?

I've been twice already so have some vague memories of what to expect, and I remember we only went for one day both times, and it likely wasn't a full day.

We're staying onsite at Disneyworld in October, but I'll still want to do the same MK rides again next year, but Disneyland style

We're two adults so will be okay with long days. Do people normally spend one, or two days there?

I spent 5 days there last year! I did do it at a very nice and leisurely pace though and got to do a lot of things multiple times, although I still didn't see everything I wanted to!

I would give it a minimum of at least 2 days, if not 3-4. I know I would have found 2 days way too short though! The parks are much smaller than WDW, but they somehow many to squeeze in as many rides in the 2 DL parks as in the 4 WDW parks! Maxpass does help a lot with getting on a lot of rides with FP.

We had a four day hopper pass, which was great for a leisurely time and pretty much did everything.
There are three evening shows across the two parks, so if you want to catch all these you will require a minimum of three day tickets.
Not all rides have fastpass options, and wait times vary greatly

We did 4 full days when we have been and found this meant we didn’t need to rush about and see and do most things and do rerides as well.

We never do full days.For us its a holiday as well as a mission.

We plan 3 visits to, Epcot, AK, HS ans MK on separate days these could be am or pm, but on average the am slots are at the start of the holiday.

We spend time at the pool, have a couple of sessions at DS, and do a full day at Vineland.

We do not do the water parks at all, and do not plan to go to Universal this time.

The question was about days at Disneyland in Cal not Disneyworld

We did 3 days when we were there in 2017. I could happily have done more! I would say minimum one day per park but if possible 3/4 days would allow you to see everything without feeling rushed!

2 days is sometimes enough, 3 will cover everything
