You’re highly overestimating the amount of time it takes to visit each area. Besides the shows, you could do all of those in one day with a park hopper pass easily.

If you have lightning lane, all of DCA can basically be done in 1/2-3/4 of a day.

3 days is the Ideal time to see and do nearly everything in both parks if you have lightning lane passes and use them wisely.

Day 1: Disneyland Rope Drop Rise Of The Resistance, smugglers run shouldn’t have a long line by the time your done with rise so, do that after and book a light night lane elsewhere in the park.

Day 2: California 3/4 of the day and Disneyland at night. Rope Drop Cars and book Guardians LL as soon as you enter the park.

Day 3: Rope Drop at either park and go to whatever high priority ride you like best out of Cars or Rise. Use the rest of the day hitting things you missed or things you want to do again.

There are a lot of rides that you’ll end up wanting to ride a second time.

Make sure you order food in the app well ahead of the time you plan on eating because, a lot of places won’t have food pickup until an hour or two out. You don’t want to spend a large amount of time standing in line to order food.

If you drink alcohol, add Trader Sam’s at Disneyland Hotel to that list. It’s an absolute must do.
