I was a Deluxe a couple years ago, then no pass. Then in June, my whole family will be getting Premier Passports. Hopefully The Little Mermaid dark ride and Star Tours II will open before my PP expires next June!
We were both Premium, but due to the crazy crowds lately I've let mine lapse entirely and DW now has a SoCal. I'll get back in the saddle sometime, not sure when.
DBF and I are Premium AP holders but our APs will be expiring in August and we won't be renewing Luckily, we did the GAD thing and will be able to make one more trip to DL after they expire.
I'd never had an AP before but in June we did the math and realized that it would be cheaper to get a Deluxe AP if we wanted to see Disneyland at Christmas as well (for admittance to the park on 9 or 10 days). And to further ensure we get our money's worth we're going again in this June.
Then I won't get another AP until at least whenever my next trip is, if not longer. (I love Disneyland but can't afford to take that many vacations a year and ever since I got an AP, every vacation I've taken, except an overnight trip or two, has been to Disneyland. Which is great, but there's a whole lot of the country I haven't yet seen!)
As a non-local who stays within walking distance, Deluxe pretty much made the most financial sense. We will have to buy one blockout day ticket apiece (during the June trip), but so far have never needed parking, and we don't spend enough money there to make the extra discounts that come with a Premium pay for the pass.
We have Deluxe passports. We used to have Premiums, but our schedules are really hectic, and I couldn't justify the extra expense, because we don't go as often as we used to, and we rarely buy merchandise in the parks.
We are a family of Deluxe. We looked into Premium, but realized that the blocked dates for Deluxe are times I really wouldn't want to go anyway! The only bummer is the no Saturdays from Spring through August, but we just go on Sundays instead. This is our first year, we bought them in December so we could enjoy two Christmas seasons if we decide not to renew them next year.
