Park Pass - How Many Days?

[amy390]

Do you normally get your Magic Your Way passes for your total length of stay? We're going for 7 full days in May and I was planning on ordering a 6-day pass. Is this good? Also, should I get the Park Hopper? This will be the first time for our DD age 5 and my first time since High School. So excited! Thanks alot! [/COLOR]

I could never imagine NOT getting the Park Hopper option. There is no other way, IMHO.... Also, the price difference between a 6 day and 7 day park ticket is so little that I would get it "JIC"...

Once you go past 4 days, the price difference for each extra day is practically nothing.
So we always get passes to cover the absolute most days we might possibly think about going to a park. That way, we have the freedom to go to a park every day we are there, even if it's only for a short time. So if we decide we just want to go watch the fireworks in the park one night or run in on our departure day for an hour just to ride a favorite attraction one more time, we have that flexibility.

And we aren't hoppers. Sure, it adds a little flexibility, but for us, with small kids, the time and energy it would take to leave one park and go to another just isn't worth it. There is so much to do at each park, that it's easy to spend a whole day at each park. Even if we take an afternoon break, I've never felt the need to go to a different park in the evening instead of returning to the same one.

I can see why some people like hopping, but for us, there's really no need.

We used get the tickets for each day of our trip. However,we just bought DVC and purchased APs. At one time,we bought hoppers but it was a waste of money. If you haven't been in a long while,you will probably want to see the new additions at the individual parks. It's a minimal cost to upgrade to hoppers once you arrive should you decide to do that. I wouldn't spend the money in advance.
