Considering buying AP - any experts here?

[DoraBA]

Hello everyone,

We are planning an early April 23 visit (4-6/7 April), 4 disney adults and one child. Will probably be staying off site so need to include parking.

Tickets are 400 dollars for 3/4 days per adult, i.e. 370 eur. Child is 320-370 depending on 3 or 4 days.

Well that is exactly the cost of the AP (not the basic one, one tier up). Assuming in includes our dates - please help me figure out what am I missing?

It includes parking, 10% off food and merch, perhaps other advantages I missed. So unless I am missing something, we should either break even or even save money - right?

Another thing I'm not sure about - it says on the website advantages are until end of March. So maybe there's a price hike coming up? Would I be able to use it early April?

And advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Correction - not 2nd tier, 3rd tier up, the Magic plus

Price increases are likely with how the world currently is.

At the moment your biggest risk is: park reservations. If you stay at a DLP hotel you do not need them regardless of the tickets you have.

Thank you, I want to reserve dates which is why I'm trying to decided between dated tickets and an AP.
Can I upgrade once in the park?
