going to disney world AND disney land within one year

[sazzifrazz]

In November 2013 we are doing a 9 day trip to the world and getting an 8 day hopper for each of us. In July 2014 we are doing a disney cruise to alaska out of Vancouver. I want to then fly down to Aneheim and get a 3 or 4 day hopper for Disney Land. What would be the best way to do this? It appears that an annual pass is not usable at both world and land and I would need a special premium annual that is $900. If I bought 8 days for the world and 4 days for land it would be $666. Im not sure we would get a third trip in before Nov 2014.

As far as DCL they don't seem to offer a package to include disneyland.

you have choices of:
1. buying tixs for each park as you currently plan
2. Sucking it up and buying premium Ap which gets you into both WDW/DL for 365 days and avoids Ticket price increase that might happen or might not happen ( ya right). With Ap you get free parking at both parks, Discounts on rooms and goodies, discounts on chow at DL, and select places in wdw.
3. Buy 1 premium Ap for an adult and getting rest of crew Tixs from another source.

The Premier AP is the one that gets you into both coast's parks.

I haven't yet gotten it to make financial sense for me. I truly have to need the Premium AP for both parks in order for it to make sense. Or at least I have to get the cost of the tickets for the "these are absolutely going to happen" trips to equal the cost of the Premier. And I haven't gotten my "absolute" trips to that level of money yet.

Since the Premier is the equivalent of a Premium pass for both parks, you get all the benefits of that. Discounts (food discounts at DLR are especially good), abiilty to buy the Tables in Wonderland card at/for WDW (tablesinwonderland.com), etc.

You really need to do the math out for your group to see if the premier pass is worth it; we're a party of 3 with a DVC membership, so we factor that it as well. We did get the premier pass once, when it was $750 and we managed to get 2 DL trips and 5 WDW trips out of it. We didn't get the pass for our DS, because he wasn't 3 yet for the 1st DL trip, so we just got him a WDW AP in time for the first WDW trip. Since the prices of APs have gone up so much, not to mention the cost of Premier AP, we just don't think it's going to be worth it to get them anymore.
Currently, we have DL APs because we knew we were going twice - this past May, and again next February- and now we're going to get a 3rd trip in August because we have the pass. But given the increase in cost of WDW passes now, we're not sure if we'll get them in the future; or we might just get one AP and regular tickets for the other 2.
