All this talk about passes...what should we do?

[Tomskatt]

I am so confused! We are headed home for our 1st time in March and I really don't know the best way to go about this. We won't be back to WDW for at least another year and are only staying from March3-9. Is the Park Hopper the way to go????? Yikes! Too many decisions!!! Thanks for your help!

Will you be going to the water parks, Disney Quest or Pleasure Island? Will you be going to the major parks the whole 7 days (including the first and last)? If yes, probably your best bet would be the ultimate park hopper because you get a 10% DVC discount. If you will only be in the major parks 5 of the days, you could look at a 5 day park hopper, with or without the options.

Here are the price charts, you can deduct 10% from the UPH prices for the DVC discount:

They usually allow you to drop the first and/or last day from the UPH, so you could use that for 5 days also.

Take a look at the various ticket prices on this site http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/tickets.htm
and compare (and remember that you get a 10% discount on the length of stay pass with DVC that is not listed on that ticket price list). Also note that you can leave off day of arrival or departure from the length of stay (now called the Ultimate Park Hopper Pass) when you buy it at the hotel in the event you will not be going to a park one of those days. The length of stay gives entries to everything and a 6 day length of stay with the 10% discount is actually cheaper than a six day hopper plus. Thus for a DVC member the length of stay pass can be the one of choice if you are going to do 6 park days and maybe a waterpark, Pleasure Island , and/or Disney Quest.

Considering I will be 6 months pregnant and traveling with my 3 1/2 year old and 20 month old, I think we will skip the "Plus" feature. This is a huge help! Thanks again!!!!!!
