I know it's a lot of theme parks, but we wouldn't spend the whole day there every day. Is there something else we should plan to do though?

Originally Posted By Dabob2 DL is so crowded on Saturdays, you might consider going to DCA for most of Saturday, then hop over to DL for the nighttime entertainment, then spend most of Monday at DL rather than DCA. Park hopping is extremely easy in Anaheim, and by your Tuesday and Thursday, you'll probably discover which of the two parks' attractions you'd like to see again. No need to think of any one day as being for either park exclusively.
