We did 11 days in May. Our tickets would have been about $600.00 for both of us and our AP's (Premium) came to $1100.00. We saved about $400.00 on the room and $250.00-300.00 on dining (we purchased the DDE card exclusive to Passholders and Florida residents). We're going again in January and saving $300.00 more on the room and everything. If you're planning on taking more than 1 trip, definitely. We always did the tickets, but then we would wind up taking another trip (unexpectedly) within the 1 year period. Then we'd be kicking ourselves for just not buying AP's. Plus, when you renew, it's about $50.00 cheaper. We've found them to be definitely worth it! You also get discounts (which we personally have used) on mini golf, boat rentals, and the tours.
