4 Day or Sorcerer AP?

Getting ready to buy either the 4 day or Sorcerer AP for myself and my almost 10 year old. We live about 1.5 hours away and I am a teacher so I’m off all summer and holidays.

We used to have annual passes before covid but haven’t been back since and I really miss going there often. I think my kid is also at a good age where we could go hop in the car together and enjoy the day park hopping every couple weeks or every month.

Help me decide if I should do the 4 day or AP? I don’t want to do pixie since we could never go on week days during the school year. The 4-day pass is about $290 with the park hopper option, so let’s say $300 each plus $30 daily for parking. That’s about $720 total. The AP is $1,099 each right now, with “free” parking and other discounts.

I know people will say just do the math and figure out if it’s worth it to upgrade or not, and I know we’d get our moneys worth. Just need help justifying why the AP is the right choice, since it’s a little spendy, although I can fit it in my budget easily enough.
