Tickets--Days and Parkhoppers

Let's face it.  With little ones, we can't exactly power through a theme park.  And yet, we have a limited amount of days to go.  What to do?

If you can afford it, I say get a 5 or 6 day ticket.  The price points are significant per day until you get to the 4 day ticket.  After that, it's only an additional $11-$12/ day add on.

Current Pricing:  3 day ticket is $87.84 (plus tax)
                           4 day ticket is $69.75
                           5 day ticket is $57.80

My theory is, if you are already going to pay for a 4 day, just add on the 5th.  This gives you a bit of flexibility and allows you to feel like you have a bit of breathing room (for that inevitable meltdown day).

Next question is Park Hoppers...are they worth it?  This really depends on the family.  If you just have one child and they are the infant to baby range it may be worth your while.  Current pricing has it as a $59 add on per ticket  (regardless of child v. adult).

If you have toddlers/pre-schoolers and/or multiple children you need to consider your budget and realistic time expectations. It is nice to have the flexibility to go to Magic Kingdom in the morning and Epcot in the evening--but will you?

Personally, I'd rather use the money to buy 6 day tickets.  But that is a personal and budgetary preference.  Research, compile your must dos and then go with what fits your family.
