Are you aware that you can buy a Florida Resident Weekday Season Pass for $211. I does have most of June, all of July and much of August blacked out, but if you go three times, you are way ahead of the game.
Why get a Park Hopper? I can't imagine seeing everything in any one of the parks in one day. Plus the time that you will spend going from one park to another is wasted.
Food prices are absurd but it's no different than a sporting event. We went to a Rays game and a 12 ounce beer is $10.00. If I recall correctly, hot dogs were
$8.00.
We bought the weekend passes and have gone three times so far. We will go about once a month beginning in August. If we go ten times, that will be about $21 for each visit. Add in $14.00 for parking. (and there is a way to get around this if you want to go through the trouble) and about $40.00 for food and it less than $100 for the two of us to go to Disney for a day.
We also plan to go and stay over night at a hotel down there. That will eliminate the parking fee.
