3 full days enough for first (possibly only) trip to Disneyland?

3 Days is better than 0 days.

I agree. You may not be able to do or see everything, but the experience is worth it.

If you can go longer, definitely do it. But if 3 days is all you can afford, that is absolutely better than nothing.

i don’t do once in a lifetime trips.

Can’t.

The concept is too depressing.

No three days isn’t enough. One AP year I was there 18 separate days and still never did everything I wanted to do, let alone everything.

But if it's what you’ve got, it’s what you’ve got.

With there being so many places around the world we want to see, we often have once-only vacations. With DLR being a 6,000 mile drive (round trip) I’m fairly certain we won’t repeat it anytime soon. But it’s not the only thing to do in SoCal, so I’m only allowing four days.

For a first time/only time visit to Disneyland, I would try to do at least 5 days. But if all you can do is 3 you will still have a good time but you will be left wanting more.

OK, we can cross you off our list of true Disney fans...

LOL, at one point on time I had a DIS blog written about folks who spent each and every vacation at Disney and to encourage folks to diversify their experiences. It never got published for various reasons. I am fortunate I get to do lots of Disney and lots of other travel. I own an international business I started 25 years ago and this year I am going to Dubai, Prague, China (4th trip), France (7th trip) and Italy (2nd trip).

No. If you can do 5 days it would be better. We were there in Sept, first time in 35 yrs! We had 5 day hoppers and found to get everything done we wanted, we were commando touring! And that’s not generally our style.
But if 3 days is all you can do, I’d make a list of must do’s and a touring plan realizing you won’t be doing it all.
Personally if they had a longer hopper ticket I’d be getting that so I can do a more relaxing tour.

3 days is enough if that is all you have. But I'd rather have 4 or even 5.

Wise words.
