season passes or park hopper

I am thinking i read something that said if you are staying 10days or more, it is a better buy to get a season pass. We are staying 10 days and have purchased a park hopper pass for those days. My question is, is it better to get a season pass and is it too late to get one ?

The breakeven is that an Annual Pass (~$500) is the same cost as getting a 10 day non-expiring MYW park hopper. (~$519)

If you have no need of the non-expiring option (you have no plans to return in the next 365 days), then it's probably cheaper to get a MYW hopper ticket. (A 10-day MYW hopper that expires is only $306)

However, if you are planning to return to the park within 365 days, the AP is definitely a great deal. I always plan on at least two vacations within my AP year and it saves me tons, especially with the discounts on rooms I can get.

Here are some resources for you:
WDW Ticket FAQ
AP/PAP Break Even - Allearsnet.com
Ticket Price Comparison Chart

Good luck!

you need to do the math. i can suggest going to mousesavers.com and seeing how they did the math...with some of the discounts, you will perhaps be better off with at least one annual pass...there is a difference between seasonal pass and annual pass (at least for fla. residents). check it out! have a great trip....

We are staying 14 nights in Oct/Nov this year.. We were looking at park hopper with the water park fun and more tickets originally, but when we did the math, we came out about $50 cheaper per person buying Premium Annual Passes instead. Hope this helps.

Ive often wondered about this because we seem to go at least twice a year for probaly collectively 20 days and when I did the math on our secondt trip we would have saved at least 200$ so im going to consider it
