Help picking the best pass

[Krisj]

We are checking in on a Sat. and checking out the following Sat. So we will have 6 full days there. We are staying at PO FQ.
We have no desire to go to the water parks, etc. I don't see a 6 day hopper, only a 6 day hopper plus. What is the best route to go for passes? If we have to do 5 day plus a one day admission, which of the 4 parks is best done in one day without wearing yourself out?
There are 7 of us. 2 adults, 4 kids 3-9 and 1 infant.
Thanks.

If you buy the 6 day hoppper plus, the plusses never expire and you can use them in the future. You may want to rethink not taking a day off and going to a waterpark. We hit the parks 4 straight days last July and everyone was exhausted. If we had stayed longer, we would have definitely needed a day off to recoup and maybe relax at a waterpark. This year, we're going Friday to Sunday and we've scheduled that day off to relax a bit. It's really important if you have kids too.
The parks that are easiest to tour in a short time are probably MGM and AK. It just depends upon what you like. Good luck!

Do you really do anything the days you arrive and depart? or is that a waste of money? We were planning on just doing half days and then taking a break each day at the pool and maybe going back after dinner.

we are planning on going to the boardwalk and DD on our travel days...once you use a day on your pass it's used. Also I've seen tips to just visit some of the other resorts, but I think we will take advantage of our hotels amenities and get some sleep to adjust to the time change and be ready for the parks. I also agree with down time. We did 4 parks in 41/2 days over Memorial day in 95 and it was brutal! We unfortunately have another "holiday " trip planned over the 4th of July but will have 7 full days this time and will definitely take time off or the "magic" gets a little tarnished by the end of the trip.No matter what, it's a great vacation and being on-site you will find plenty to enjoy.
