The No Expiration Option Isn't for Everyone

“Going for just a 2 or 3 days but know you’ll be back again? Do the math. 10 days with no expiration is cheaper than 3 days 3 times without.”

Usually Adam and I get ten days on our ticket and go for ten days, but we know that’s not that usual. If you’re going to be hitting Disney for just two or three days and then maybe going to one of those other parks that are rumored to be in the area (I’ve certainly never heard of any other parks, but people talk!) then hit Disney’s website and check the math with the expiration option and without. Usually your park tickets expire fourteen days after you use the first one, but with the no expiration you can keep coming back again and again as long as there’s still time on the ticket. 

If you’re going for five days twice, the math is close and it may not be worth it. Ten days with the no expiration option comes out to $516 while two sets of 5 day tickets come out to $502. Though it’s a good idea to keep in mind that if you’re going more than a year apart, some time in that year the ticket prices will likely change. Either way, that one’s pretty close. On the other hand going for three days three times comes out to $696, whereas that ten days with a no expire option is still just $516. And that gets you an extra day in there somewhere!

Like I said above, if you’re a power player and you know you’re going to be going for a max length trip, this isn’t that important to you. For those who can only get out to the park for a few days at a time every year or so, though? It can be a real money saver.

And before you ask, no, there’s no such thing as an 11 day ticket (unless you’re in the UK). We’ve tried!
