First time Disneyland/DCA trip. What would you adjust on our itinerary?

Disneyland

So as the caption says, this will be both my wife and I’s first Disneyland trip and we’re pretty excited. Our visit will be end of this month for a 3 day visit with Park Hopper tickets. Since neither of us know how to plan, I just generated an itinerary with ChatGPT:

We’ll be staying near Best Western Stovall’s Inn and have Park Hopper tickets for all 3 days.

June 28:
*Arrive in Anaheim around noon
*Check in and head to DCA around 2 PM
*Priorities: Guardians, Soarin’, WEB Slingers, Incredicoaster, Toy Story Midway Mania
*Explore Cars Land at sunset/night
*Hop to Disneyland for a few hours before close to see Main Street, the castle, Galaxy’s Edge, and maybe Pirates

June 29:
*Rope drop Disneyland
*Planned order:

  1. Space Mountain
  2. Matterhorn
  3. Big Thunder
  4. Indiana Jones
  5. Pirates
    *Then Galaxy’s Edge (Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers Run)
    *Hop to DCA in the afternoon for Guardians, Incredicoaster, Soarin’, etc.
    *Return to Disneyland at night for Fantasyland and fireworks

June 30:
*Rope drop DCA
*Planned order:

  1. Radiator Springs Racers
  2. Guardians
  3. Incredicoaster
  4. WEB Slingers
    *Finish anything missed in DCA
    *Hop back to Disneyland in the afternoon/evening for rerides of favorites (Rise, Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, Big Thunder, Pirates)

Again, this is all generated by ChatGPT so im sure theres a ton of other attractions worth seeing that im missing. Any must-do attractions, food spots, shows, or nighttime entertainment we’re overlooking? Plz let me know. TIA!
