Should I add the Water Park Fun & More option??

[SharpMomOfTwo]

When booking our Disney trip, DH and I decided that we didn't want to add the water park to our tickets because we have a 2 & 3 year old, and figured we wouldn't use it. I'm now finding out that we will be missing out on a whole lot more than just the water parks! We can't do DisneyQuest, Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex or Pleasure Island. Now, I don't think we would be going to the Wide World of Sports (though DH did last time, he says he wont this time), but I'm kind of upset about missing DisneyQuest and Pleasure Island. What do they have at these two places (DisneyQuest & Pleasure Island) that we would be missingo out on - I need to convince DH that it will be worth an extra $150 to add it onto our ticket!
Also, can I add on the water park option when we get to Disney if we decide to, and if so, is there an extra charge doing it there?

TIA!

EDIT - We will have the grandparents with us, so most of our nights will be free to do whatever we want.

Are you going to be taking your 2 & 3 yo to Disney Quest? It has been a while since I was there & it was on the darker side so I'd be worried that I'd lose the kids since they can't play everything that you & your dh would be playing.

If it was me, I wouldn't add the extra. I would not enjoy it knowing I had to keep track of my kids at that young age.

My kids will be 7, almost 5 & 2 when we go this summer & I still won't go to a water park since my 7 yo is the only one who can swim with out swimmies.

Personally, we just get one day tickets to the water park (whichever one wh're going to that year). Adding on the option is too expensive since we only go one day, and we don't go to Disney Quest. If we stay a week, we usually just go 1 day to a water park. They wipe us out, as we spend all day there and go, go go, while we're there. But, a water park is a must do-even with little kids, they're a blast!

I wouldn't add Water Parks and More. There just isn't enough time to do everything, and with a 2 and 3 yo, between parks, resting, and the pool, you will have plenty to do. It looks like this is your first time with your girls, too, so they won't need the extra things to do. If your girls were older and they had been to WDW a few times, then I would consider it.

We had Water Parks and More two years in a row (because it was free with a discount code), and we didn't use it either time. The second year (this past January), we even spent the first day of our vacation at DTD, and we still did't go to Disney Quest (and our 7 yo might have enjoyed it).

If you are getting a baby sitter and want to go to Pleasure Island or Disney Quest, you could just pay for the one night ticket. I wouldn't bother taking your girls, though.

Have a great trip!

Adding the WPF&M option will cost you about $53 per ticket.

A single admission to DisneyQuest is about $40 per adult and about $33 for your 3 year old. If you plan to visit DisneyQuest only once, then obviously buying the one-time admission will be cheaper than paying for the WPF&M option.

Pleasure Island is nightclubs. If you will be getting a babysitter, then the PI clubs would be an option for you. A single admission to one club is about $12, and a one-night admission to any and all of the clubs is about $24. But I'm guessing you won't be doing the clubs.

Based on the possibility of just one visit to DisneyQuest, don't waste your money on the WPF&M option.
