I am hoping to get recommendations from fellow DISers. :wave2:
We have 2 trips for Disney coming up. One for 3.5 days in September taking advantage of the free dining package, and one for 7-8 days in November staying at the Embassy Grand Beach. We have 2 park admissions and 2 plus features left on our no expiration passes from last year. Originally we planned to purchase 10-day premium passes with our Sept. package and then we would have plenty of days for both trips plus some left over for next years visit. DH and I have just started to think that maybe we should just get what we need for these visits and save some of the $$. So here are my thoughts - tell me what you think:
We can purchase 5 or 6 day hopper tickets with plus features with our package in Sept. Then just use our old passes in Sept (since we only plan to do 2 days at the parks and 1 day at water park and hotel pool) and use the 5 or 6 day passes for the November trip (since one of those days we plan to visit SeaWorld anyway). The passes don't start the 14 day expiration count down until the first day I use the pass, right? Any better ideas? We want to save $ but also want a certain amount of freedom to move among parks or take advantage of water parks if the temp. is right (Am I crazy to think we can go to the water parks just before Thanksgiving?)
Sorry this is so long. :rolleyes1 Hope you guys will give me your wonderful advice. Thanks.

I guess it depends on whether you are trying to save money, or to get the best value.

If you are trying to save money, your plan sounds good. A better value would be to get the 10 day tickets through the Mousesavers link to Ticketmania for $358 (A).

I am not sure when the tickets that come with the package expire. I believe that you are correct in saying 14 days after 1st use, but I would check with guest services to make sure.

We were there for Thanksgiving twice, it was too cold for a water park both years. You just never know what you will get temp. wise that time of year.
