Re: Is it wise to buy park passes over one year in advance?

If you plan on buying say..a 10 day PH..using 3 days this year and adding the no expiration I don't think it would offset the cost of adding the no exp. to the ticket as apposed to buying them next year..but I'm not sure it'd depend on the days you were going etc..
You can add the non expiration at the END of your trip too! BUT, you have to pay for all the days on the ticket.

One July we went with my parents, they had 5 day park hoppers. It was too hot for Mom 2 days, so she didn't go to the park. I inquired and they let me add the non expiration then and there . . . $5/day . . . $25! BUT, when we came back for a trip that November, she was able to add 5 days to the ticket at the 10 day price. (so is was like we got the 10 day discount!)

Not sure of the EXACT math, but I think it worked out to our favor.
