I found it worth it, but won't do it again. It was worth it once. We were there in June and it was busy and had an almost 5 year old and did not want to waste time finding a seat. We decided to splurge and it was totally worth it. We got in the front row and it was perfect! We are going again in December and probably won't even see Fantasmic or WOC, because we splurged on the dessert and WOC dinner last time. I would say if you can afford it in your budget, it is worth the splurge atleast once.
