Ok, I really need some help from those who are pass experts! I am looking into a couple of options for our trip and would like some suggestions/opinions....
Our group consists of me, DH, 4 1/2 yo DS & 60+ yo DMom. DH, me & DS went to WDW for the 1st time last year, DM has never been! We arrive Friday, 9/21 and leave Sat 9/29. We are planning to stay out of the parks on arrival day, but would like to be able to to go all the rest of the days. DH says he *might* like to do a water park, but definitely wants to do DQ at least 1x.
Here are my options:
7 night/8 day Ultimate Park Hoppers
$346.65 Adults, $277.75 child
$1317.70 total
PROS-We would leave off the day of arrival, but then would have unlimited access to everything for the LOS. CONS--if we don't go to water parks, etc... nothing left over to use on next trip--at least 2 years away!
7 days PH+ passes
$308.46 Adults, $246.98 child
$1172.36 total
PROS-costs less, left-over days or + features could be used on next trip. CONS--would have to purchase additional admission to DQ ($26.13 A, $20.72 C) for each entrance there. Also would not be going into parks the day of departure so we would LOSE a day in the parks....
So what would YOU do if you were me? The budget-concious penny-pincher in me says buy the cheaper passes and then pay for DQ for DH & DS only-maybe I'll have left-over days or + features. The DIS'er who wants to have fun & just enjoy the vacation with no added costs says go for the LOS passes and forget about it!
HELP!
