Park ticket recommendation for my niece

[emmababy]

We are bringing my niece on our trip. We have AP's. We plan on getting there on a Sat and leaving on a Thurs...can anyone give me the best option for her park ticket. We are paying for it ourselves and just need to budget....

Questions:
Are you planning on going to the parks all six days?
Are you planning on a resort/pool/DTD/non-park day or two?
Are you park hopping on a single day?
Are you planning on going to the water parks?
As much infromation as you can provide on your plans will help us provide you with the best option(s).

If you don't plan to park hop on any day and don't need the water parks a base ticket should be fine. She can leave & re-enter that one park during the day, just not multiple parks in a single day. I rarely park hop, even with an AP.

We have the PAP and we usually park hop and would go to the park all days but depending on the price, we could probably plan to not Hop or do water park as we plan on doing the beach for a few days....If we do a 5 day- do they have to be 5 consecutive days??

No, just expire within 14 days of first use. I always use Undercover Tourist with the link from Mousesavers to save a few extra dollars.

We plan our trip without park hopping when others are along, even tho we have APs.
