Hi Peter! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
I have magical news for you: Your 3-day
admission ticket does not need to be used consecutively. Spacing your visits out over 5 days, depending on
theme park availability, is a great idea. A long park day can sometimes call for some rest and relaxation, and you can definitely fit that in between theme park entries. The admission ticket policy states that your admission tickets must be used within 13 days of first use, so you can even space them out for more than 5 days if you want!
On a non-park day, my family would probably enjoy pool time, book a
Character Dining Experience at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels, and do some shopping in
Downtown Disney District. Maybe try
Goofy's Kitchen at Disneyland Hotel and do some out-of-this-world shopping at
Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney District. Those are two of my family's favorites.
You'll be visiting when it tends to be sunny and warm in Southern California. So don't forget to pack sunscreen, reusable water bottles, and sunglasses. I'd throw in swimsuits too.
Have a magical visit!
Elizabeth
