need help with trip planning

[cv499]

Hi I am planning a trip in mid to late may. May 11-18. or 18-25. Right now I am planning on all star sports and only going to disney parks 4 days. I think I am going to join aaa I am sure it will come in handy besides getting a discount on disney. I want to get the dining plan but my dw and I are having trouble agreeing on the tickets. The rate I got from disney was around $2100 for 7 nights dining and 4 day park hopper. It is less about $400 more to get 3 10 day no exp. hopper tickets. I want to do this, then our next trip all we have to do is pay for our room. I am hoping that with aaa I can get the 10 day hopper with no expire package for close to the $2100. These prices are for 2 adult and ds9 and dd is only 2. I know we will have to buy her a ticket next year also. Does this seem like a good deal for may? Is it really crowded in may? Is it hard to change my sons ticket as he will be 10 the next time we go. I am rambling now but I have so many Questions any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Chris

Hey! Anytime in May before Memorial Day is a good time to go, not too crowded and even Memorial Day weekend isn't too bad because a lot of schools aren't out for the summer yet. Just keep in mind that if you get non expiring tickets and use them on your next trip, you won't be able to use the meal plan I don't think, because to get the meal plan you have to buy tickets and get a "package"....just double check on that w/ Disney to make sure I'm right...we love the meal plan and we'd hate not to be able to get it. Have fun!
