Which Ticket Should I Get?

I currently have a FL resident annual pass that expires on October 18,2015. I have a trip set for Nov 10-14 and December 19-20 (We are NOT going to the parks for this trip). No other trips are set in stone yet for the next year. However, that very well may change. I don't know if I should get the new Silver Pass for $351.45 or just get a 5 day ticket for $315. It is less than a $40 difference. The trip in December is to celebrate my graduation and we have reservations at Flying Fish for dinner. With my annual pass I would get a 10% discount so that would save some money. I am slightly hesitant to get the annual pass as I am hoping to get a job with the company after graduation in December. If that happens I would have access to the parks for free and wouldn't get use out of my annual pass. I would love to hear your opinions.

If you extract all of the value out of the annual pass (compared with regular tickets, full priced meals, and driving from offsite to paid parking) before you start working at Disney then it does not matter if you don't use the AP any more that year.

The numbers you gave suggest that you should get the AP.

Double check to be sure that AP tiers and blackout dates don't affect your planned trip.

Statistically (given the closeness of your vacation to the expiration of your previous AP) it would be better to renew your AP rather than buy a new one to start with your next vacation, if you don't get the Disney job (cast membership).

For $40 more I would get the pass. The discount for merchandise should help pay for it.

I would get the AP just to be able to pop into World Showcase after dinner at Flying Fish.
