WELCOME!! It really depends on how long you are planning on staying, and what you'd like to do while there. We tend to not park hop, so we tend to skip that option, but we love to go to the water parks - so we get that add-on. The prices are definitely better the longer you stay...but you don't have to use all of the days this year, if you get the no expiration option. If you got a 10 day+No Exp this year, and planned on only 5 days - then you'd already have your tickets lined up for another trip next year or some other time.
