No Expiration Tickets

[audrey444]

We are going in May 2008 for a mostly no-park trip. We are DVC members and have expiring points, so we are going to Beach Club Villas.

We are doing a BIG trip in May 2009, almost the same week.

As I'm thinking about tickets for the 2008 trips, I think we may do 1-2 days in the parks. Originally, I thought about annual passes and hoping our 2009 trip would fall in the same year, but I doubt it will. Then, I recently saw a "No Expiration" option on tickets. Can you help me understand if that would work for us?

Our 2009 trip will be about 7-8 days in the parks, and our 2008 trip is flexible on number of days. Would it be best for us to purchase the 10-day, no expiration option? It certainly seems better than getting 2 day tickets this year and 7 day tickets next year.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Audrey

I may be answering my own question. I just found this link that helps me look at the different pricing. Wow, a 10 day non expiring adds almost $200 to the cost of the ticket, making it comparable to an annual pass.

I just did the math on the Disney ticket site.
2 day, no park hopper - $139
8 day, park hopper - $266
Total - $405

10 day, park hopper, no expiration - $450

And for 2 adults and one child, it actually WOULD be cheaper to purchase our tickets for each trip separately.

Any other thoughts?

Don't forget that the ticket prices may go up before your next trip so that would change your totals.
