Ticket purchasing decisions

[KJMAX1]

I need some serious math wizard help here. My husband and I are going to WDW in August, and will arrive on Aug 25 the first day of value season for resorts. Here is my dilema. We have stayed at CBR however, we would love to stay at a little bit nicer resort. Our price range would put us in the Animal Lodge or the WL, possibly the S&D. What I need to figure out is what tickets to purchase. I know codes arent out yet for then, which will probably come soon, but I need to make reservations quickly.

We want to have access to the parks at least for 6 days. We will pay out of pocket for the water park for the one day. We will not be going to PI, or DQ this time. Should I buy an annual pass for the room discount for 369.94, or a park hopper for 5 days for 230.02? We will not be returning to WDW in the same year. If I buy the Plus park hopper that includes two flex features which one would cover the water park, or could we use both for the water park, one for each of us even though one of us will have an Annual pass?

My other concern is if we buy a 5 day, how to we get in for the 6th day?!

Please help!!! We will be there for 6 nights, 7 days and probably fly out the night of the 31st.

TIA

Kelly

Have you been to www.MouseSavers.com for other codes and room deals?? Also MouseSavers has a great page about "Which Ticket is Right for You?".

DC Card now has Year 'round Discounts for rooms for 8/25/02=20% off.

Try your local AAA to see what they have in the way of tickets and how much??

AP's break even after 8 days or more and/or more than 1 trip in a year or buying 1 pass if there is a great room rate. AP's are selling for $349.00 at the moment.

Each person needs there own ticket. No ticket sharing.
There are 7 day Plus 4,6 day Plus 3,and 5 day Plus 2. The pluses include the water parks!! Here's the link to WDW's Offical Ticket Page where you can see what a ticket includes andwhat a plus feature is good for.
