We will be going the last week of August, starting Sunday August 24th. Two adults and two kids ages 7 and 11. We are going to stay at Portofino Bay. We want to do at least 4 days, with 3 days of single park tickets. Contemplating doing 5 days. We would get there on a Sunday and leave on a Friday. So an extra day at universal will cost us an extra $476-includes 200 budget for food, extra day of dog in kennel, and also parking fee for hotel. I have the money for it but is it worth an extra day. Will we be bored with parks? I also really want more time to relax at the resort too. If we did stay an extra day should we keep the 3 day park tickets and enjoy an extra day exclusively at the resort and city walk? It is only 40 something dollars more to add on 4 day tickets instead of 3 days. I have been saving a long time-2 years for this vacation. I have a savings account exclusively devoted to this trip. Even if I spend an extra 500, I have enough money left over to get new carpet in our living room this fall and extra money to put toward another trip down the road. I just want to justify the extra day. We did Disney a couple of years ago and I really wish we had stayed a few extra days. We had the money to do it then too. I just don't want to regret this like I did last time. What is the best option?
