I have read the beginning posts, and I have an idea, but I want to make sure that I am understanding this correctly. First, here is our currently planned, plus potentially proposed upcoming trips within the year. This is an exceptional time period, so I honestly have absolutely no reason to believe that we would be renewing any sort of AP scenario after 2019. We will be on this little flurry 2018-2019, and then returning to WDW again in 2021 - at least that's the plan:
Nov.22-Dec. 2, 2018 - Me, DW, DS14, DS9, DS6 to WDW with 7-day PH tickets
June 23-27, 2019 - DLR/Anaheim - Me, DW, DS14, DS10, DS6
Potential April 2019 Orlando hockey trip for DW and DS10 for about 2-3 days
Potential BB offer trip to WDW in Sept/Oct 2019 for DW and DS10 for about 2-3 days
So, there are options here for a regular WDW AP or for the dual-park DPP. Also, there are 5 of us in our family, but only 2 trips will involve all 5 of us. the 2 potential trips would involve (most likely) only 2, albeit the same 2.
A. If I understand correctly, for both a BB offer and an AP upgrade, I would need to make sure that they are reserved/completed prior to the last day of our entitlement-usage
B. (we would be using our last park day as Dec. 1, 2018 and checking out on Dec. 2, so I assume that I would need to do it on Dec. 1 at the latest,
C. and then whichever pass gotten would be valid until Nov. 22, 2019).
1) Since we are making only one trip to DLR, and since that is the more expensive portion of the DPP, would that make the math a net loss? - in other words, should we just look at a standard WDW AP and get our DLR tickets separately?
2) Either way, should we technically have the AP's done in the names of DW and DS9/10, since they would be using the AP's more frequently? or does that not matter?
3) If we indeed want to purchase either 2 AP's or 2 DPP's, can we apply the entire PH MYW ticket cost from our Nov. 2018 trip from all 5 of us, or can we only apply the costs of 2 of them?
