Here are Jen's tips on How to Conquer Disneyland and California Adventure in a day(with heavy influence from JP, the ultimate Disneyland/Disneyworld Officionado):
Disneyland opens at 8AM on weekends and closes at Midnight. Make sure that you get there when the gates open. California Adventure opens at 10AM and closes at 9PM.
In this order (mix and match if you think you can. :p) take the rides.
1. Star Tours
2. Haunted Mansion (new with the Nightmare before Christmas theme, thus the Jack Skellington picture)
3. Indiana Jones
4. Splash Mountain
5. Winnie the Pooh (kinda a kiddie ride, but fun nevertheless)
At 9:45 be at the entrance of California Adventure.
6. Soaring over California
7. Grizzly Rapids
8. Mulholland Madness
9. Maliboomer
10. California Screaming
11. Fast pass Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (the ultimate ride! DON'T MISS!)
12. Have lunch.
13. Muppet Vision 3D
14. Animation Tour
15. Ride Twilight Zone!
16. It's tough to be a bug
Back to Disneyland
17. Fast Pass Roger Rabbit
18. Watch Snow White
19. Ride Roger Rabbit
20. Fast Pass Autopia
21. Honey, I shrunk the audience
22. Ride Autopia
23. Fast Pass Big Thunder
24. Eat Dinner and do some souvenir shopping
25. Pirates of the Carribean
26. Ride Big Thunder
At 7:45PM go back to California Adventure to get a nice spot near the entrance for the Electric Parade. Go back to Disneyland right after the parade to get a spot for the fireworks.
If this is followed, you'll be sure that you'll hit all of the rides. One shouldn't stand in line for more than 5 minutes in not so popular rides and 15 minutes for popular rides. That's why there is fast pass.
Disneyland is a very very very expensive place. Here's a joke from one of the shows.
"Who here is from out of the country?"
People raise hands.
"Welcome to America!"
"Who here is from out of state?"
People raise hands.
"Welcome to California!"
"Who here is from out of town?"
People raise hands
"Welcome to Anaheim!"
"Who here is out of money?"
People raise hands.
"Welcome to Disneyland!"
