You pay a reduced ticket rate if you want to go on a blackout day (unless you have a premium pass - no blackouts). Only you can say if it's worth it to buy them for the kids. When our kids were little, sometimes we got them a lower grade pass, sometimes we got them whatever we had. We only had two kids though, and were close enough to the park that if the kids started fussing or acting too squirrely, we could just say, "That's it! We're going home." We didn't feel the pressure to stay because we could come back another day very easily. Now the kids are out of the house, and we enjoy being child-free at the park very much.

The only difference in percentages is that on food (not carts) you get 15% instead of 10% with premium. Oh and I have never had to only park in Mickey and friends. I have parked in Timon and Pumba free. I have always just been sent to the nearest open lot.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 We have the Deluxe passes and I am pretty happy with them.

You can add on the parking for I think $60 right now. Only one person in your family needs the parking on their pass unless you plan to go without each other a lot. We get 10% off dining at the restaurants. The Premium is great but it's more expensive. Parking is included. 15% off dining and no blackout days. I completely think it's worth getting passes for the kids if you're gonna use them. You only have to go a handful of times and they're paid off.
