Hi Doreen!
In my judgement, I’d go with Disneyland.
I don’t have my own must-dos for either park, but you can find them here: http://touringplans.com/disneyland-resort/touring-plans?utm_campaign=referral&utm_medium=website&utm_source=yourfirstvisit&utm_content=r1&property_id=1
Hello, we are thinking of a Bus Tour that leaves Canada March 3, 2012 which allows us to have One Free Day at either Disneyland or The California Adventure. I was wondering if the California Adventure would be better suited to ADULTS/SENIORS? And what is the Must Do List for One Day?
Kara, sorry to have been so unhelpful! Was too early in the am…
You need to do the stuff on the same days of the week, as the days tie to typical extra magic hours etc. So on your arrival day, follow the Friday evening schedule, on your Saturday follow the 2nd Saturday, then on your Sunday and following follow the first Sunday, Monday, etc. On your last Firday, follow the Friday morning schedule.
Note’s there several morings off to fit Sea World into…
Hope this is more helpful!! Dave
Do I modify it by following the schedule based on day of the week? ie. do this on Friday, this on Saturday, etc. Or do I just follow your Saturday arrival plan when I arrive on Friday. Thanks so much for all the info.
Hi Kara!
The Basic December Itinerary is a pretty close fit. See http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/basic-itinerary/basic-itinerary-daily-links/ You can modify it to fit your dates!
