is concierge worth it?

i am taking 4 adults and two children to Disneyland. I am wondering if concierge is worth the extra money and if anyone can give feedback on the paradise vs disneyland hotel?

Thanks

I'd also be interested in feedback on Grand Californian concierge, we're staying there in July.

I've never done concierge at DLR, I've done it at other hotels, but in my opinion it's not worth it because it's so expensive there. We're going the end of January and got AP rates of $159/night at GC. I asked if there were AP rates for concierge and they said it's only about 10% off the rack rate, so about $450/night. They said they're trying to make concierge more exclusive Gasp. concierge is not worth $300/night. You can always go to the bar for a drink or get breakfast in the morning, I'm sure under $300.

What is AP rate? The rate is certainly very attractive! How do I get it?h

AP means Annual Pass. You just need to purchase an annual pass and when occupancy at the hotles are relatively low, DLR gives substantial discounts for hotel rooms to AP holders.
