Ticket Advice Requested

Our family of 6 is going with 3 grandparents for 12 evenings in June. We are staying at BWV and like to wander in to EPCOT almost every day. We consider EPCOT an extension of BWV and BCV

I'm leaning toward the DVC Prem Pass deal as we if we had access we would do the waterpark once or twice. Just struggling with the price differences between the 5 for 7 no park hopper and just getting the pass. Not sure we would do another trip in a year or not, kids activities (x4 kids) is getting crazy. I find it hard not to have a park hopper as we were spoiled of having annual passes for years back when my kids were under 3 and APs were in the $400 range. Also we would do 2-4 trips as kids activities were pretty light. We loved the feeling of coming and going into parks like Disney was just one huge resort, didn't worry if went to EPCOT just for a beer and pretzel or see Pooh and Tigger. Hope that makes sense, we are leaning to just spending more than we wanted and enjoy everything and not worry about "max" each day on a 5 or 7 day pass. Plus we break off into subrgoups with the kids as they all seem to want to do different things and we have been so much we are fine just doing whatever we feel like doing at that particular instance.

Is this crazy thought process? I know I probably know the answer already just don't want to make a $700-1200 stupid mistake. Grandparents will not get APs they will not be at parks much.

You could consider getting APs for the adults and the 7 for 5 deal for everyone else. That way you still get the dining/ merch discounts, and if the grandparents can watch the kids a night or two the adults could slip in to Epcot.

I might think about that but it is the kids and me that is on the go go go...so not sure who I would cut out

Can you plan a trip for one week earlier next year so you can get two trips out of the passes?

Unfortunately not, but might do a F&W or a Spring Break trip. As we are going as soon as school gets out but so moving a week earlier won't work. Can't go later due to Little League All-Stars is about to start...being ruled by crazy kids activities now, miss when we could go whenever we wanted!
