Longer Expiry?

[MG3G]

We are planning a trip to Florida for about a month in 2018. We had wanted to pop into Disney on and off during the month. I wanted to do 10 day passes because those are the longest and one or two days at the water park. Went to look at pass options and I see the longest expiry listed is 14 days! I physically can't do 10 out of 14 days in the parks... I'm disabled and there is no way I have the stamina for that even with rests and using my scooter. Do they offer ANY other options? Year passes are out because there are at least 7 of us - possibly 10, and buying two blocks of 5 days is way more...
If we can't sort out an option we are thinking about choosing somewhere else to go instead but that is hard because we've been planning this trip for 8 years...

IIRC there was a post on here a while back about someone purchasing the UK passes which often provide a longer expiry time (I guess Disney figures that if you are going to fly across the pond, you may stay longer?) A quick search here should find the thread. BUT, there was some question as to whether this was a legitimate approach. I would certainly research thoroughly before pulling the trigger on anything.

Don't forget that there are a ton of other exciting attractions in Orlando as well. Perhaps you get your Disney on for the first two weeks, and then move on to visiting Universal, Gatorland, LEGOLAND, Busch Gardens, Cocoa Beach, Daytona, Kennedy Space Centre etc for the second half.

ETA: Found the thread. From back in Feb '13 http://www.disboards.com/threads/ultimate-ticket.3069910/ You might try PM'ing the OP to see if there were any problems using the tickets.

2018 is almost 2 years away, almost anything can happen in that time.

Universal ticket prices are much more reasonable and it's really cheap to upgrade to an Annual Pass as long as you aren't going during the black out days. Who knows if this will be the case in 2 years time.

Get the 14 or 21 day pass from American Attractions (http://www.americanattractions.co.uk/walt-disney-world-resort-orlando/disney-21-day-ultimate-tickets). They will ship to Canada; it's a bit more expensive than a 10 day pass but also gets you park hopping and the water parks plus the memory maker. It's a great value!

Why do you want to buy 10 day park passes? All the passes have the 14 day expiry - whether your buy a 5 day pass or a 10 day pass. Just buy for the number of days you want to visit the parks. If you add the Water Parks and More option you get the same number of days in water park passes - for example, a 5 day park pass with water parks and more gives you 5 days in the parks + 5 days at waterparks for 10 days of fun!

Because OP is going for a month. Would like 10 visits spread out over 30 days, can't do that with 14 day expiry. In the old days (ie. 2 years ago now?) you could add the NE option (non expiry) and have your tickets last forever. We are still working through our 10 day WPFAMNE tickets (5 years old now I think). The Brit tickets are better than the current US Disney options as you get 3 weeks of unlimited, so perhaps just do all the other Orlando attractions in the final week?

I agree with the others. I would get the UK tickets - that's what we did for our last visit. You can get either 14 or 21 day passes which have PH & WP included in the price. They are only good for the year they are purchased for. So for example, you can get 2016 tickets or 2017 (as of now), and they have to be used in their own particular year. We purchased ours from American Attractions, added them to our MB and booked FP+ no problems whatsoever with them.
