AP benefits

[coastiewifern]

So we are moving to FL next month (yea!). I am planning to buy the FL resident annual pass as we plan to live in FL a short time and want to visit WDW often. I would love to hear from AP holders as to what are their favorite benefits? I am of course trying to maximize my savings and wonder what is going to give me the best discounts. We are:
active duty military
DVC owners
and soon AP holders

I've been a pass holder since 2002, and I'm currently a Premier Pass holder! In the early years of our pass holder-ship (ha) we loved the hotel discounts! We stayed at AKL for as little as $109! We became DVC members in 2004 so we don't pay cash for rooms much anymore, and I don't think the room discounts have been as deep, so we're not really affected anymore.
I also LOVE the shopping discounts! It used to be that we got 10% off at WOD with the pass, but now with the premier pass, we get 20% just about everywhere. The dining discounts are a favorite as well; between our DVC, APs, and TIW we're getting discounts at just about every CS restaurant.
Free parking is another huge perk!
I think one of the coolest perks was when we got to do sneak peeks of EE and the philharmagic! I've never seen AK as crowded as it was for AP sneak peek weekend of EE - it was incredible!
