Fantasy Springs single-handedly justifies two visit days โ spend day 1 on classic ports (Harbor, Mysterious Island, American Waterfront) with Premier Access for Tower of Terror. Spend day 2 locked into Fantasy Springs via Hotel MiraCosta or Fantasy Springs Hotel. One visit = you will skip either Fantasy Springs OR half the classic rides.
