Ticket help

[Meteora]

I'm so full of ticket questions these days. So, usually we get 10 day hopper no-expiration passes every few years and just use them up over 3 trips or so. This year, my parents and I are going to Epcot for the F&W trip in October, then to Disney for a couple of days in March.
So, would it be most cost-effective for us to buy one day, one park passes for the F&W trip? Or is that a waste, and we should be looking into a better deal (in which case we'd have to no-expiration whatever we got?) We still have days left on our current passes, but feel it would be silly to waste a hopper day on a day when we have no intention of hopping.

Thanks for any advice!

By "couple of days in March", do you mean two days?

How many days left on old passes?

Hopping in March?

Probably 2. We have, I believe, 4 days left on our park-hoppers. We usually park hop, since we try to condense four parks into fewer than 4 days--the F&W trip is an anomaly for us.

Hmmm....

Since it appears you do short trips, I would buy the 1-day for Epcot, then use the old ticket for 2 days in March and you'll have 2 days left for another short trip.

Unless you think you may go back in 2011 for 1 day at the F&W Festival. Then I would use the old ticket for 1day in Oct, 2 in March, and 1 next Oct.

But if you decide on 3 days in March, then use the old ticket for all four days.

However, if you think..... Oh forget it, just go.

Thanks! That certainly is comprehensive.
