Package Frustration

[CarolinaBoy]

I've been working the numbers for a few hours and just need someone else's opinion. After making 7 trips in 3 years, we haven't been in the last 18 months. Definitely due for a couple of trips, Sept 06 and July 07.
Would it be more economical to buy 2 seperate Magic your way packages w/hopper tickets for 6 days or purchase and annual pass and three 10 day w/ park hopper and no exp and use them for both trips, we only go to the parks 5 days on trips anyway, booking the room with ap rate. I'm leaning the ap way, because I can always make the 2 big trips 4 days with a seperate water park and throw in a quick Jan or Feb trip.
Please advise, I'm starting to confuse myself


Thanks in Advance,
Carolina Boy

The 10-day tickets are cheaper than getting 5 days tickets twice, even when you add the No Expiration option.

If you are sure you will get in two trips (to really "use" the AP) then I would go the AP route. You are likely to get a decent AP rate on your rooms twice, so the AP would save in the long run.

I'd go with the AP's.

If you want the dining option, you can always just purchase MYW tix w/no expir. option & save for future trips...you could go either way w/min. amount of days or 7 for value.

Good luck.
