Which is Cheaper?

[MommySue]

I am trying to figure out which would be cheaper. Doing a package with value hotel stay, park hopper and water park option with dining plan or getting Season Passes with hotel stay with dining plan? I have read that with Season Passes you get the same options as a package with the options (park hopper with water parks and downtown disney admissions). Can anyone give me some advice about this? Which would be less expensive? My family consists of 7 people (ages 57, 36, 36, 17,13,6,4). Any information anyone could give me would be totally appreciated! Hope to hear from you soon!

I think that if you want to do the dining plan you must purchase a package (hotel and tickets) so if you purchased an annual pass you would still need to purchase at least a one day ticket so that you could do the dining plan. That might take away the benefit of buying an AP. Beyond that I have no idea.

Doing a value with the tickets and dining plan would be cheaper as it would include food and the tickets will be much cheaper.

I highly recommend the dining plan, it rocks! Good luck!

An AP is cheaper if you plan to be in the parks more than 10 days.

The only way to purchase the dining plan is with a package that includes the MYW tickets. You can get the AAA discount and still add dining only if you book through AAA. Some AAA affices charge fees, others do not. You can use any AAA to book your package so find one with no fees!
