PAP or Blinged out My Way?

[cruise-o-matic]

OK, this is our agenda:

4 days/3 nights in Dec 05

6 days/5 nights in June 06

4 days/3 nights Dec 06

Me, DW & DD(8yr).

Other info:
If we fly in, we may spend an extra night offsite or in a value. We have AAA.
We may/may not go to a park every day, especially on our departure day. Unknown at this point.
We plan to eat the majority of our meals out, except for maybe breakfast.

Should we get 3 PAPs or 3 10-day, no expire, park hopping, plus MYW tickets?
If MYW, should we supplement with the DDE card or do we get a good enough discount as DVC members?

In order to get the DDE, you have to have at least one annual pass. Only Florida residents and annual passholders are eligible for the DDE. With the number of visits and days you're going, it's hard to imagine you not saving money with the DDE.

You should order the DDE right before you leave this December, because it actually runs about 13 months and that would cover your Dec 06 trip as well.

The APs are valid for one year from the date you pick them up.

I would go with the AP for sure - for the DDE card, the 10% at World of Disney and the ability to just pop into a park whenever.......and there are sometimes good deals with Alamo, the AP holder rates at resorts for that night in the value and other perks with the AP.
