so this is what i'm trying to work out...
we have a US free dining package for this august (august 2018 - it was a bounceback offer that we booked last year).
so for a US free dining package you are required to buy a minimum 2 day MYW park hopper ticket for each person in the package..
so now comes the number crunching...
we will be there for 14 days, so MYW tickets are stupid - they work out to be something like $1000 or more for the 14 days (you have to buy a 10 day ticket and a 4 day ticket - very expensive)..
so option 1- buying two MYW tickets to cover the 14 days is a non-starter..
option 2 - buy a UK 14 day ultimate ticket and just throw away the required 2 day MYW ticket that comes with the package......the UK ticket includes memory maker for free..
option 3 - upgrade the required 2 day MYW park hopper ticket to a platinum annual pass (which includes photopass download which i assume is the same as memory maker)
so let's check the numbers..
the 2 day MYW park hopper costs: $291.81 (including tax)
10 day MYW parkhopperplus: $601.73 (including tax)
4 day MYW parkhopperplus: $532.50 (including tax)
the UK 14 day ultimate ticket (at today's exchange rate): $517.21
the platinum AP costs: $1,010.69 (including tax)
ok...
so adding up..
option 1 - buying a 10 day and 4 day MYW = $601.73 + $532.50 = $1,134.23 (clearly the stupid option)
option 2 - buying a UK 14 day ultimate ticket and throwing away the required 2 day MYW = $517.21 + $291.81 = $809.02
option 3 - upgrade the 2 day required MYW ticket to a platinum AP = $1,010.69
so it seems option 2 is the option of choice: it's $201.67 cheaper than the AP option...
the only difference being, the AP does come with discounts. So if i thought i could manage more than $400 in discounts (since we're talking about two tickets - so twice the difference of 201) then it might be worthwhile to upgrade to the AP.
did i do the above correctly?
any other reasons i should consider option 3 over option 2?
