5 Or 8 Day Passes

I Am Still Makeing Payments On Our Vacation So I Called Today And The Very Nice Cm Asked Me If I Realized For About $6.40 Extra Per Ticket We Could Get An 8 Day Pass So I Told Her That I Would Talk With Dh First B/c He Wanted A Couple Of Days To Relax But For That Price Ireally Think We Should, What Do You Think?

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

For that little of money I would not think twice. You may want to relax at your resort all day and head for a park at night.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

For that little price difference, I would definitely go for it!! You could always take relaxing days off but then use your "practically free" extra park days to have dinner at a restaurant in the park...or relax all day and just go for the fireworks! I think having the freedom of those extra days would be great.

P.S. Congrats Remy on 100 posts!

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

In all honesty once you get to like 5 or 6 days it only cost a few dollars extra to add days to your passes..I like the difference between 4 days and 5 days is 8 dollars...so if your DH didn't want to do 8 days you could probably do 6 or 7 for cheap as well.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

You might also want to think about adding the no expire option and just buying 10 day tickets and lock in those extra days for the future at a lower price than they'd eventually cost.
Imagine buying tickets today and then using them in 12 years and hopping between the 5 parks and your tickets only cost about $12 a day compared to $100 if you wait until 2020 to buy them.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

I say do it! You could even relax all day and maybe just head to EPCOT for Illuminations or a stroll around World Showcase at night. That alone is worth way more than $6!

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

Ditto on the 10 day no exp. passes. We go for a week at a time, and with the 10 day passes, we don't pay for tickets at all of the third trip. It comes out to very little per day.

I like this idea too. Even if you don't use the extra days the $6 + change will give you piece of mind that you can go to a park (even if for a little while) when ever you want during the trip.

I personally would not do the 10 day no exp. option b/c I would not be positive that they would get put to use. But if you are positive that they would then go for it.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

For the little amount more, I would go for it. Like others said, you could relax at the hotel all day, then decide to go to Rose & Crown for dinner & watch Illuminations, for example.

The no expiration option is up to you...would depend on if you wanted to fork out the extra $$$, although it is definitley cheaper than a whole new 3-day ticket.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

I agree with everyone.
It's so nice that even on a non-park day you can still head out and catch dinner at any park you want.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

I agree with everyone. Personally, we buy the 10 day no expiration option which usually gives us 2 trips. This trip, we do not have to buy tickets because we have enough days left over to cover our entire trip. That was a huge savings for us this year which we of course spent getting a hotel on the beach in Tampa so that we could visit Bush Gardens this trip.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

We are going to purchase 10 day park hopper no expiration tickets this year, attend the parks 5 days, and on one day go to Downtown DIsney. Then we have our next trip to look forward to knowing our tickets are paid for.

Re: 5 Or 8 Day Passes

I would add the no expire option on as well. It just makes sense. That way your tickets for next time are paid for.
