Late Oct visit, ticket choices WWYD?

Likely park days 23~25, Tue-Thu. Might attend a party, would you go with a 3 day hopper, 2 day hopper *no MM or 2 day 1 park per day *no hopping, that isn't right! If we go with 2 days we'd for sure attend a party, no PH - we'd visit DL on a non MM day. We should've upgraded our 3 day hoppers last Nov.

If you haven't attened a party, I would do a party with a 2 day hopper. At the party you can ride rides in DL. You may want to hop to DCA both days for Cars Land.

We attended the party @ WDW in 2009

The parties are basically the same. So if you aren't super interested I would suggest going with a 3 day hopper.

Now that DCA is going to be a much bigger park, this may mean crowds disperse between the two more. Less of a crush if you are in the park when party guests arrive. Longer hours in the other park.

DD was 6 then, I think she'd appreciate it more being 9, the fireworks were fantastic! And boy it was warm and muggy in Orlando. I read we could get in 3 hours prior to party time.

If you are still interest in going to a party I would.

Looking at the cost, it's about $55(estimate) for the party, which if it repeats with the early entrance is 8 hours of park time. A third midweek day in the parks with a hopper, on a party day about $25 and 11 hours.

You can still visit Big Thunder Ranch, see Villians, and ride SM and HM with thier overlays during regular park hours.

At the party you can get a lot of free candy, see fireworks, a special parade, wear costumes, and see even more characters.
