We visit once or twice a year but bought deluxe AP's last year. It is good most days except Saturdays and holiday periods. We avoid Saturdays any way when we visit because of all the local kids that use DL as a hangout. We paid $199 per pass last year for the deluxe passes. This year they are cheaper and the premium passes are the same as the deluxe last year. I think the deluxe passes were around $145. A 4 day pass was approximately $144, so it made more sense to renew our AP's, when you look at all the discounts that come with them. We just received our renewals and upgraded to the premium. With each pass, we received a 20% off coupon on one transaction, which was good at most of the stores at both parks and DD. In addition, the price we received on our room at the GC was worth the price of the passes. We are paying $199/night for a theme park view this year and the same room was $350/night last year. You also get discounts at many of the restaurants, as well. And you absolutely get to use them to park hop. Needless to say we are fans of the AP.
