Travelling this summer with 2 kids under the age of 11. We will buy premier access for our 1 full day. Should I book an additional night so we have 2 full days or is 1 full day plus 2 half days (check in/ check out) enough time. We want to go on all the rides and see a few shows plus fireworks.
 
Depends on if you're going during French school holidays or at a weekend. If so, then the parks will be busier and you'd probably appreciate the extra time to do everything, or at the very least be able to not have to go running from ride to ride and get a chance to appreciate the park fully. Whereas a weekday outside school holidays you'll probably be fine.

Also while it has been said many times on these boards, it is always worth stating again that the full Premier Access package is not necessarily the best option - you may well be better off just buying access to individual rides on an a la carte basis. The package is very expensive and comes with a lot of rides that probably don't need skip the line access except on the absolute busiest days of the year.
 
We arrive on a Monday in July, after Bastille. I want a full day of premier and not waste time in line or think about which rides to go on first or last. I just don’t want to have think or look at my phone during this vacation. I want to waltz from ride to ride.

If waltzing is the aim, go for more days. 1 day + 2 half days, and wanting do it all, even with Premier Access, is ambitious during peak season. All of Europe is off and everyone is travelling.

The music festival adds a lot of additional entertainment to the park. Dissney really wants this Summer to be a success/busy one. They are throwing a lot of money on advertising to get people to DLP this Summer.
 
I would definitely do a 2nd day. Two parks, lots to see and do, Europe on holiday. It doesn't make 1 day seem reasonable, even with Premier Pass.
 
We did one full day surrounded by two 1/2 days and wish that we had spent more days at DLP. Plan two full days and two 1/2 days.
