I'm headed on a cruise out of PE during the Christmas holidays. We planned on doing Dec 26-28 in the parks beforehand and the cruise is Dec 29 to Jan 4. Because of crazy flight prices that weekend it worked out cheaper to pay for a hotel room and stay for 2 extra nights in Florida and flying in and out of MCO is cheaper for us than FLL or MIA. I'd like to head back to the parks again but the ticket prices are pretty crazy to get another 2 day ticket. It's a few hundred dollars cheaper to get an 8 day ticket with the original reservation but there will be 3 unused days. Are those days just lost or is there a way to carry that forward on a future ticket purchase? Any other suggestions on how to get a ticket in the most cost effective way? We may just have to make it a few resort days but we're such park people that being there without going in will be tough.
