New park tix - $3 a day!? My head is going to explode

[Disney_Freak56]

I thought that if you stayed anywhere on sight (regardless of AP) you got free parking. I maybe wrong as I am not sure of all the new rules. But I am pretty sure of this...anyone???
If I do do the 10 day and then decide to upgrade to an AP can I do that right at my hotel? Do I have to go to a park to do that? Thanks, that maybe the way to go..........oh no another decision..hee hee.

You will have to go to a theme park or Downtown Disney to change your MYW ticket to an AP. Resorts do not validate APs. If you buy a voucher over the phone, you would have to go to a theme park or Downtown Disney to validate it as well.

You are right. Free parking is available for all AP holders.

Those $3. days are no longer $3. when you add non-expiration with one exception, below.

The 8 day pass cost per day spikes up because non-expiration costs more. If you must add non-expiration to an 8 day or 9 day pass, seriously consider adding the 10'th and 9'th days too. These cost $4. apiece including non-expiration after you bought the 8'th day.

Need 12 theme park days but the MYW only goes up to 10? Would a 10 day Expiring pass and a 7 day (or 10 day) non-expiring pass be suitable? You would have to come back in the future to use up the latter.

12 days (and 11 days) are a problem. But 13 days with hopping make the AP less expensive. Without hopping you can get two 10 day expiring passes for less than one AP.

We are planning on 6 park days, but buying a 7 day pass because we will be in Florida for more then 6 days and if our other plans fall through because of weather or whatever, then we could always go back to a park. The extra day on our ticket is $6 total for 5 people. If we don't use it, then we are out $6.

We buy 7 day passes and use them for 3 trips. 2 days in the major parks, a day or two at a water park and then go to a non Disney park like Universal or Seaworld. I find this is enough when we're there every year. Some years we will go 3 days. We all get tired of the Disney parks if we go every day in a weeks time. So when we go back in a year, we're ready to see all our favorites and what's new.
I'm hoping the 10 day tix are available next time we need to buy them. Now that is a great deal and we would get 4 trips out of them.
