This is really jammed this year. I saw people who had purchased the package (over this past weekend) queuing for an hour before hand! What's the point of the package then, besides dinner?
The other queue can be really long. Was doubled back on itself four times last weekend with the primary line reaching to Italy.
SRO at the back is four to six people deep.
So, don't know what to tell you. Buying the package won't necessarily prevent standing on line for an hour, nor will it get you a premium seat.
