Hi there, Pam! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am so excited that you will be visiting the Disneyland Resort very soon! You can definitely see and do a lot in two days, but I usually prefer at least three days in the parks. Three days will allow you to take in all your "must do" attractions, shows, and parades while also offering flexibility to change plans and experience different things if the opportunities arise. Plus, with a three-day ticket, you will have access to one
Magic Morning at Disneyland Park on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Getting into the park an hour early really allows you to get a head start on your plans with typically small crowds and low wait times.
I would also suggest that you add the
Park Hopper option to your tickets. Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are mere footsteps from each other so hopping back and forth is a breeze! You might want to watch as they "sh-boom" and turn on all the neon signs in Cars Land at dusk, but then head over to Disneyland Park to catch the classic
Main Street Electrical Parade later that night. Park Hopper tickets will allow you to do just that!
I hope your trip to the Disneyland Resort is full of magic and memories!
