We are planning a trip to Orlando 12/16 - 12-26. Although we will be in the WDW area for 10 days, we may not go to a Disney park every day....although we might !! I am considering whether to go with park hoppers or an annual pass. I am definitely planning to purchase 5 day hoppers at a minimum. Can anyone share some benefits of the annual pass which may help me decide whether it is worth the extra cost. By my calculations, my 5 day passes are costing $44/day thru our AAA. AP would have to be used 8.39 days to make it equivalent per day cost. I can see us possibly using 7 - 8 days this trip, but possibly not. I am not sure whether we will be able to make another trip during a 12 month period, but I am seeing that possibly the AP may have 100 extra days ( unsure since there seems to be some debate about whether this applies to non FL residents). Does the AP include free parking, any other discounts, etc. to make it even more a value that additional days of park access? Thanks to everyone for all your input on this.
