Just went February 6-9th. Great trip. Managed to do every open ride in California Adventure on the Saturday (7th) and between our afternoon/evening on the 6th and the full day on the 8th in
Disneyland we got all the open rides done there too. Got on Star Tours, Indiana, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Big Thunder, and Toy Story two times; Pirates and Twilight Zone three times, and Screamin' and Radiator Springs four times (the latter was single rider twice, fastpass once, and rope drop for the first time). We didn't wait more than thirty five minutes for anything. Also saw twenty two characters. Don't think I ever had a trip that productive!
At California Adventure, we ran to RSR (well, walked fast and with purpose) at rope drop and hopped in the RSR standby line. We were in the third car so no wait. Our second day in DCA was a magic morning, so by the time we entered it was a sixty minute wait. We did single rider and walked on the first time (with a sixty minute wait we WALKED ON, can you believe it?) and waited twenty-five minutes the second time with a longer stand by wait.
We saw twenty characters on our last day in Disneyland, mostly in the morning. We went to the Fantasy Faire and saw the three indoors (only one family ahead of us), caught Poppins and Bert on Mainstreet, Alice and the Mad Hatter by teacups, Peter Pan at Snow White's fountain, then Ariel, Pluto, Dale, and Goofy on Main street. Then we saw Minnie and Mickey in Toontown and Rapunzel and Merida under the Fantasy Faire umbrella's later (we had to make an effort for those last two and wait a bit). Ran into Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Genie at Aladdin's Oasis and had to wait a few minutes for them. Then we saw Captain America in innoventions. That was a Sunday too, so I was expecting bigger crowds. But we saw most of those characters in the morning - like we saw Mickey before...eleven am? Definitely before lunch.
Just a little tip, we also caught part of the Soundsational Parade (which we'd already seen so we didn't care too much) from the Jolly Holiday bakery as we were eating dinner. Not crowded at all, we just picked a table outside with a view. Pretty neat.
