Annual Pass Question/Calculation

[eporter66]

We are planning two trips to WDW in 2008 (Feb & Oct), and wondered how many days at the park would make it worth while to buy an annual pass. We plan on going to the 4 parks (1 x each) in February, and with a little longer stay in October, we may go 5 or 6 times.

So, lets just say, if I make 9 trips to the park, will an annual pass save me money, or am I better off buying one of the packages for a certain number of days on a ticket?

Sorry for being lazy and not checking myself, figured a lot of people here use the annual pass.

Thanks

Buy the annual pass. It will be about $370 with tax. A 10 day non-expiring ticket (NOT a hopper) will be about $420 at a discount broker. Besides saving $50, you will get a ton of flexibility during your trips with the AP.

You can see ticket prices here and do your comparisons: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/tickets.htm

If you are a DVC member, the AP with DVC discount is likely the best option. If not a DVC member, it may not be. Thus, if it is you as a DVC member and immediately family go with the AP but if anyone is joining for whom you cannot get the DVC discount, you might want to figure out whether something else is better.
