What would you do??

Ok, i've tried reading through the threads to get some answers, but I think I need something more specific to my situation:

Myself, Dad and nephew (4) want to do a three nighter at the start of June. Have been looking at the official website and it will cost about £750 for the three of us to stay in Sante Fe, Half board with tickets - and with flights about £1100 in total. Now, is that a good deal? It seems quite costly to me.

The other option which I've been considering is staying at the Magic Circus and getting annual passes which will come to about the same cost, but then gives us the option of returning much cheaper for Bonfire night and Christmas (which wouldn't be an option if we didn't get AP) but you only get breakfast included.

It's my nephews first ever holiday and he's really excited so I want to make it special for him, without bankrupting me! Any tips, advice or comments welcome!

If you're sure you would get the use of the APs with return visits, then I'd do Magic Circus and APs - you can eat at less expensive places in/around DLP compared to the participating restaurants in the half board plans.

I would definitely pick Magic Circus with an AP!
Your nephew will have a great visit no matter which hotel you stay in.
I'm pretty sure he will have an even more magical visit if he knows he can come back really soon ;-)

I've stayed at Magic Circus a couple of times before, and it's a great hotel.
Really perfect for kids!
Also both Bonfire and Christmas are wonderful things to experience.
I'd say: pick the AP!

Thank you! I think I knew the answer anyway, I was just wanting some validation that it's the right thing to do.
It just seems like so much money for a 3 night stay, but knowing that we can pop back for special holidays certainly makes it more appealing!

I'd add my vote to the AP - and depending on which AP you get you also get EMH (which is for me one of the main perks of AP or staying on site), discounts on food/souvenirs, etc!

We just came back from magic circus / using our APs, can def recommend it!
