What ticket do I get???

[iluvwdw_2002]

Hey, Everyone!!!

I am not sure if this is the board I post this on???

But I need help...My DH and I will be going to WDW in May to celebrate our 4 yr Anniversay. We will be in WDW for six days, so I was planning on getting a 6-day Magic Your Way Hopper Pass. Since we are staying at the Boardwalk (Woo-Hoo - First time at a Deluxe!!), we thought we could stroll over to EPCOT for dinner or MGM for lunch on our arrival/departure days.

Anyways, we love PI!! We have two nights on our schedule for PI. My confusion comes when I try to pick which tickets to get. On ticketmania.com, I can get the following:
Option 1:
2- 6 Day MYW Adult - Expiry /w Park Hopper and Water Park Fun & More(5 Visits)
$289/ person

OR

Option 2
2 - 6 Day MYW Adult - Expiry w/ Park Hopping
$239/person
4 - Pleasure Island (2 per person for two nights)
$16/ticket = $32/person

With Option 1, the total cost for the both of us is $578. With Option 2, the total cost is $542. However with Option 1, we do get five visits if we want to add another PI night or go to a water park. But in overall, if I go with Option 2, then I save $36.

What would you do????

Thanks so much!!!

The price for a Magic Your way Ticket with hopping would be $235.00 + tax. If you are planning on making more than one trip in a year I would reccoemnd buying an Annual Pass. You can also save alot of money with the room discount that is offered especially with staying at the Boardwalk.


Here are the sample discounts that are out now .THESE are from the MOUSESAVERS web site.

Anyone else have any other ideas???

Getting an AP would not be the best option for us. We are actually staying at the Boardwalk Villas - a friend of ours sold us their points, so our room rate was inexpensive.

Just wanted to know what you would pick - Option 1 or Option 2??

Thanks!!! Happy Friday!!!

Pleasure Island no longer requires a ticket, you just pay a cover charge for the club you want to enter, right?

 

[iluvwdw_2002]

Yes, that is what I have read/heard. We enjoy doing all the clubs, so we are definitely going to need tickets.

If you have any desire to go the the water parks then I would go with option 1. Once you are there and you decide to go to a water park and have to buy a ticket, you will end up spending more money.
You may be able to cut it back to a 5 day hopper with the water park add on, since if you go to a water park, you may not need to be in one of the parks that same day.
