I don't agree. Currently, a 10-day non-expiring hopper is $112 more than a 5-day expiring hopper. For my family of 3, that means putting out $336 extra on our next trip. But that buys us 5 more days for each of us that are good forever. Next trip, whenever that may be, we would have to buy another 5-day non-expiring hopper and you can be certain that prices will have gone up by then. Today, it would cost us $684 but it would be even more then. So we will have saved at least $348 and probably more.Beherenow said:We will not be buying the 10 day base non-expire and here is the reasoning why:
If you know you will not be returning within the year or two, why would you want to want to tie-up your cash? There are more better returns elsewhere. At least this is my logic.
If we could invest the $336 at 10% a year (wouldn't that be nice), it would take nearly 9 years before the interest earned would make up for the savings. Assuming a lower interest rate, which is more realistic, it would take far longer.
I'll stick with spending $336 this year to avoid spending close to $700 or more next trip.
