Ticket Strategy Question

[bama_ed]

I have looked at the 2006 prices for tickets and how you can add on options for park hopping, water parks, and no expiration to your base "Magic Your Way". My question boils down to this: does the no expiration option save unused theme park days AND water park visits or just unused theme park days?

I am planning on buying tickets for a May 2006 visit and don't know, due to the incremental declining cost structure, whether it's worth it to buy like a 10-day all everything no expiration or just enough theme/water days for our May visit.

Thanks, Bama Ed

Unused water park etc. visits are preserved with non-expiration whether or not there are any park days left.

The best general rule for choosing non-expiration is: It's worthwhile if the remains of one or two tickets are sufficient to fully cover some future vacation.

The best bargains for non-expiration are 7 and 10 day tickets (counting the days already used if you add non-expiration and/or more days later).

If you're ever going to visit Disney World again after your May trip, get the ten day no expiration passes with whatever features you want.

If you buy a 10-day base ticket, use 5 days, and then want to add the no expiration date option for the remaining 5 days at one of the parks, do you pay the 5-day no expiry cost or the 10-day no expiry cost?

Unfortunately, you have to pay the 10 day non-expiry cost.
