Park Tix: Buy more days now for later?

[kjs1976]

We're going to WDW for 8 days in June. We'll be able to park hop for 7 of those 8 days. We for sure want the premium 7 day tix for this trip. When I got to thinking, if we go to WDW next year, it would be a shorter 5 day trip. We already have one day left on our old park hoppers and I thought if we bought the 10 day, non-expiry premium MYW tix now, we would be getting a deal because we'd have three days left for parks on a future trip, plus 2-3 options left (since we won't hit TL, DQ this trip) Can you help to see if I'd be right? My head is too jammed with numbers right now and it seems to good to be true.

7 day premium expiry MYW ticket from Ticketmania - $274 (as of 3/11)
10 day premium non-expiry MYW ticket from Ticketmania - $374
3 day expiry park hopper MYW ticket from Ticketmania - $218
3 day expiry premium MYW ticket from Ticketmania - $253

We'd be paying a total of about $200 extra this time for BOTH of us to have the three extra days left for next time, depending on what option we'd be technically going with on next year's trip. Still, it's a savings of $124 if we went this way versus buying 3-4 day tix next time.

Oh it gets so confusing! Any ideas or help would be appreciated!

Once you go 6 days or more the price per day is very low so we did a similar thing and got six day non expiring hopper passes. However, if your following years trip is within one year of this one you could go the AP route.

I had the same question- Should I get a 10 day pass (hopper no expiration) if I might be using 7 at max in June. It gives me 3 or 4 more days for some other time at a little more than $100. I just found out that I dont have class on Friday's next semester maybe I could take a three day trip and use it up then (during value season!). Hmm birthday present to myself with friends (I'll turn 21). Now my wheels are turning and I haven't been in 9 years! This board is dangerous.
