Hey there Ryan,
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for your question! I'm happy to see that you're hard at work planning your summer visit to the Happiest Place on Earth with your two young kiddos.
You can purchase between
one and five day tickets from the Disneyland Resort website, but as for my wife and I (we also have two young kids), we have found three days to really be our sweet spot. This number of days has been a really good balance for us to experience everything we want to experience while not overextended - especially with young kids.
If you can swing it, I would also highly recommend adding the
Park Hopper and
Lightning Lane Multi Pass options onto your tickets when you purchase them as these provide so much extra flexibility to a visit. With three days, we haven't ever felt rushed and it even can give you a little more wiggle room if you need to head back for an afternoon nap or down time before the evening hours at the parks.
Make sure to take advantage of the
Kids' Summer Ticket Offer if you're able! There's so much happening around the Disneyland Resort with the
Kids Rule Summer season just getting kicked off. The
Disney Parks Blog just published a really helpful article that covers all the details.
Thanks again for your question, Ryan! I hope you have a fun time with your Mouseketeers at the Happiest Place on Earth later this summer.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
