It depends. Do you plan to go to a park every day? Have you been there before? If not, you should know that it can be exhausting, after two full days at the parks (Magic Kingdom and Epcot), we were dragging and had to take a break...we spent that day around the resort. Then went back at it on day 4. Your UHP lets you go every day to the theme parks, water parks and I think Disney Quest and Pleasure Island. A park hopper just lets you go to the theme parks (but you can hop between parks on the same day...a single day ticket only lets you go to a single park). A park hopper plus would let you go to the theme parks (on the park hopper part), and the water parks and Pleasure Island on the "plus" options. If you go to a theme park on the same day as PI or a water park, you will burn a day on the pass AND a plus option. But, if you don't use all the days on your PH or PHP, you can save it for another trip (they don't ever expire). With an UPH, you are paying for full access for everyday, and if you don't use it everyday, it can be more expensive....also, the UPH is good only for your length of stay. If you are worn out and take more days off than you planned, or if you get sick, you are still paying for access on your full trip. You just have to figure out what you plan to do (theme parks only?, Pleasure Island? water parks? DisneyQuest?) and then compare the cost of the UPH to what a park hopper or park hopper plus would cost you.

it looks like the UPH tickets are what we're looking for!!

I have read in several places that if you are going to do parks, etc., for 8 or more days, it is less expensive to buy an Annual Pass.

That should answer a lot of your questions

Only problem with APs are that they don't include the water parks or Disney Quest. I think they'd be cost effective only if you'll be returning to WDW before the AP expires. The regular AP is $369 which doesn't include the extras like water parks, Pleasure Island etc. The premium AP does which does include them are $489, while UPHs are $393 for ten days. Personally, 'we've chosen UPH passes. We'll also be there ten days and are carefully planning so that we can take full advantage and not waste a day. Due to changes in airline schedules and such, we don't want to take any chances on getting to our WDW resort late. We've chosen to fly out to Orlando the day before and stay at a cheap hotel near MCO for one night and then early the next morning we'll check out then head out to CBR, leave our bags with Bell Services, get our room keys/theme park tickets and off to the parks we go. Our general daily plan is to hopefully get to the parks early, tour for a few hours, have lunch, then head back to our hotel for a refreshing swim and rest for a while then head out to the parks again for the rest of the evening. Hopefully this will help prevent us from burning out. Of course, we'll also be taking advantage of Fast Pass. Can't wait!
