I had this dilema also but we are staying off property so we choose basic magic your way tickets, with a 3 & 6 year olds we wouldn't be doing a lot of park hopping. We do plan on opening the parks going back to condo for rest/swim and back to the same park that evening for dinner. Maybe you could buy park hoppers for you and your wife or even your mother if you might plan a few adult nights out at the park (while one stays with the kids?). Even with staying onsite I can't see you doing to many days where you park hop just because your kids are so young. I'm sure others will chime in!

I wish I could just say - buy this.. but you have to do some research as every family is different. You will need park tickets for everyone except the 2yo - she gets in free.

I would do a rough plan as to which parks you want to visit and if you want the flexibility to visit more than one park on a given day (park hopping). Then you need to consider the number of days you will do the parks vs how many (if any) days you are going to enjoy the resort, Downtown Disney etc. Many families with young kids don't park hop but we found it was very helpful when our kids were young. We would often take a mid day break in the afternoon and then visit a different park in the evening. We also like the hopping option if a park just seems too crowded or we aren't enjoying it on that day, we can simply visit another park.

Then price out the tickets, with the new Magic Your Way tickets (you will see them referred to as MYW) you can start with a 'base ticket" and then add options. You start with the minimum number of days you think you need and then add on options from there. Options are park-hopping, water parks and more, of course each feature has a cost. If you don't buy and option and decide you want it you can add on anytime during your first 14 days but you can't downgrade.

Here is a great ticket info page that may help you.
