I'm wondering - AP or UPP?

[ORD2KOA]

We're going to be staying at WDW for 10 days over the New Year holiday, and I'm beginning to think that Annual Passes may be a good idea, but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts to share? My hesitation is I do like to go to Pleasure Island, and would like to visit Disney Quest, and I "think" those are included in the UPP, but not in the AP.

If we lived closer, I think an AP would be a no-brainer, but this will most likely be our only trip to Florida in the next 12 months.

Since we'll go to Universal, there is at least a day we won't be at WDW, and then I was thinking that maybe another option is a UPP when we arrive, and then when we switch hotels, get a regular 5 (?) day Park Hopper.

I'm sure some of you have advice to offer, and it will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Aloha,
Nancy

Yes, the regular APs don't get you into PI or DQ. The UPHs do.

Now for which would be better.

An AP costs $393 (adult)
PI ticket $21
DQ ticket $33
Total $447

A 11 day/10 night UPH costs $442

A 6 day/5 night UPH costs $299 (go to PI and DQ during this time)
A 4 day PH costs $205 (advanced purchase) (1 day at Universal)
Total $504

A 5 day/4 night UPH costs $265 (go to PI and DQ during this time)
A 5 day PH costs $231 (advanced purchase) (1 day at Universal)
Total $496

If I didn't make a mistake, it looks like the UPH for the entire stay is the best deal.

If you get an AP, check out the other discounts - hotel, shopping at the Disney store downtown. Discount at some resturants.
