We have a trip planned for August and it is for 4 nights, 5 days. We have found it is the perfect amount of time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. You can get all the rides in, hit the good sit down restaurants in Disneyland and Downtown Disney for a leisurely meal, and enjoy the entertainment offerings. Also you don't feel like you have to get there at rope drop and close the place down every single night (unless you enjoy that sort of thing).I am planning 12 day trip LA, Anaheim and San Diego. Would 4 nights, 5 days staying at Anaheim be too long?
We were just there for a three-day weekend last week, and it was definitely not long enough! We saw no shows, though we did get at least one ride on all of the headliners that were open. We're doing at least four park days in April, so I hope we'll get to hit some shows. I've spent at least twenty days at DL in the last four years - maybe someday I'll actually get to see Mickey and the Magical Map!
