Ticket Recommendation / Strategy (Annual Passes Ever Coming Back?)

[JWG]

So we've finally planned our first trip back to Disney as a family since December, 2016.

We'll be in Orlando 3/10 - 3/30 (staying at Flamingo Crossing 3/10 - 3/20 and at Beach Club 3/20 - 3/30).
Ideally we'd like to get a Gold Annual Pass since we'll be the for 3 weeks (working remote part of the time and spring break part of the time).
If we get a 10-day pass, it's only good for two weeks which doesn't cover the whole trip and we'd have to cram all 10 days into the last two weeks and forego the first week (plus pay for parking while not staying on property).

Any rumors on annual passes becoming available soon since our 60 day window opens up for dining in January and we need to make park reservations?
Any options other than a 10-day pass that's only good for 2 of our 3 weeks as an alternate?
I don't want to buy two sets of multi-day tickets for each person since that's a significant over pay.

No rumors I think January though will see.

Call and tell them your dilemma. They offer longer tickets for those traveling international. Maybe you could get one of those.

I don't think you will see APs return until spring time at the earliest. Just my worthless opinion.

I would call - and maybe expect/hope when they bring back park hopping that they'll have an AP option as well.

If only I could go back in time and buy like 5 more 10 day Park Hopper No Expiration tickets... sigh.

wish we also bought more PH years ago but decided not too.

We still have 2 of those left. It was a big outlay of funds at the time but sure was worth it. Right before they announced they were ending it we bought 3 each for DW and I. That was 2013.

So jealous! Also in my theoretical time traveling, I would have parked the No Expiring PHs in their own MDE account - I swear Disney is conspiring to try their best to use my days in spite of me telling 3 different people to prioritize other tickets lol. I guard my NE days like treasure

We only put them in 1 at a time. And you can bet they are.Greedy Mouse but we love it just the same.
