Which Ticket should we buy

[oliviaT]

We will be visiting Disneyland from UK in three weeks time. We will be spending about 10 days in LA and I am looking for some opinions on what type of ticket to buy.
We have been to Orlando and also Paris so have been on quite a few of the rides already. We will also have a SAP because of my son so will not have to queue too much.
How long do you think we will need to spend in the Parks.
Son is 14 and daugher 9 but likes the "big" rides.
I think we may want to spend 1/2 day in DL and 1 1/2 days in DCA but does that mean we will need to buy a ticket for 3 days?
It will probably be wasted if so as we are unlikely to come back for many many years.
I know in Orlando there are lots of "unofficial" ticket sellers but what is there in LA to enable us just to buy a two day ticket that will allow us to park hop.
Or can we buy a two 4 day tickets so that the two adults can use one and the two kids can use the other on the same day, if you know what I mean.
Any suggestions, tips etc would be greatly appreciated.

The best ticket option right now is through DisneyTravel Co. You can purchase a 5 day hopper with unlimited fastpass, $10 ESPN Zone card and 1 free breakfast for only about $5 more then a regular 3 day Hopper.

Each person will have to have their own ticket media, you can not share a multiday pass between 2 or more people.

Are you planning on visiting other Southern California attractions? There is a something called a CIty Pass that is a good deal that allows admission to Disneyland, Sea World, Knotts, San Diego Zoo. This may be another option.

My guess is you will find that you will need more time at the Disneyland Resort then 2 days. Disneyland will take 1 1/2 - 2 days and DCA takes 1 - 1 1/2 days to see and do everything at a relaxed pass.
