Don't forget, you don't have to make the decision right now. I think you can extend your tickets once you're there as long as you make the changes prior to your last day of use.

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!

I did the same thing, we have 8 day passes and we will probably at most use 7 but it's such a small price difference it's not a big deal if we don't use them all.

Yes and from what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that even if you have one day left, you add no expiration, when you visit the next time and add days you get the "more you play, less you pay per day" discount.

So you buy an 8 day, use 7, next time add 3 days to your one day and pay the 10 day ticket price . .. do I make sense? That right there is a good savings per day!

On the WDW website (No Discounts or previous sales reflected) the price per day on an 8 Day ticket (Hopper, Waterpark) is 39.50 day.

You have this and planned on using 5 days.

Now, a 10 day no expire will cost you $50/day, so there is an significant increase.

However, If you subtract the original 5 day cost of the passes of $310, your new 5 day pass is costing $190 or $38 dollars a day. SO If you ever plan on coming back for a 5 day trip your savings at list rate will be about $120 per 5 day pass. Spend now to save later? Personal choice.

My favorite strategy is the every other year Annual pass.

Buy a pass for Aug 1, 2008 for your August trip. Go for however long (8 days?). Take next years trip prior to Aug 1 2009, buy no passes in 2009. Buy them again in 2010. Thats 36 a day (at 16 days), plus the ability to go even more and the passholder discounts on resorts. This is also very nice for the travel days which hurt to use a park day for 2 hours before the flight.

Maybe go for the seasonal pass. But purchase one AP. That way you save on parking.

Definitely go for it. You will find some reason to step inside a park for even a short time.

I would go for it. You just never know if you may want to head to the parks in the evenings for a couple of hours.

[jenbarnwell]

Its such a small price to pay that I would definitely do it, then you could head to the park for a couple of hours at night or in the morning and take the rest of the day to relax in the resort.
