Yes, I see your points about only needing 1 Plus and buying it separately. I agree, good strategy.
Likewise, I agree that the total cost is really the factor for everyone to consider. But, since these people will be staying for free (on us) in a DVC villa, their main expenses are admission, meals, and transportation.
This question focused on admission because it's really the only thing that separates a WDW vacation from other types of trips we're considering. That is, meal and transportation costs exist no matter where we vacation. For comparison purposes, family members will either pay for WDW admission, OR allocate that budget to accomodations elsewhere. (Am I explaining that in an understandable way?)
Thanks again!

Also, you really don't need the parkhoppers. We upgraded ours to the parkhoppers w/ waterpark because it was a free upgrade. After being there though, I would not do it if I was paying for it. That will save a bunch right there..
IDoDis said:Also, you could have everyone purchase their tickets from ticketmania.com which would save more $$ than buying directly from Disney.

I forsee your family reunion taking place elsewhere this time.
