Hey everyone, so here's a question: who here has a deluxe pass with parking added? And if so, is it worth it adding the parking, or would you have preferred getting a premium pass?
The reason I ask is cuz my premium is set to expire next More...
Deluxe $499+ Parking $125 is $624. Premium is $649. For $25 more you get a better discount on food and souvenirs. π - Waites4DodgerEars659.1 #157 7-16-12 9:07PMLike(1) Reply

deluxe is $469 - MaidMiriam 304.4 #588 7-16-12 10:52PM
I upgraded to a premium after looking at the difference of deluxe with parking (598) vs premium (49) and realizing that with monthly payments, that's only $4 more a month. You'll get that money back for sure with the extra discounts on food and merch. So if you are thinking of getting the parking with deluxe, I think it makes more sense to go premium. Without parking, it's more of a jump in prices. - Sarafina398.5 #335 7-16-12 9:10PMLike(1) Reply

I have the premium pass for the parking and discounts alone. My family has deluxe but adding on the parking was so much that it was worth it for one of us to get the premium pass. I always pay for everything since I get the discount. In my opinion, it is worth it to get the premium. - 2princesses82.8 #3241 7-17-12 8:57AMLike Reply

Hey there. Just wondering how crowded it is at the parks right now, from those of you that are there. The CI's for both parks say mid-70's. That true?? I'm debating whether or not to go since I've got a little bit of time to spare.
Go! I'm sure it's not as bad as last week. If it is crowded, just leave or go to the animation building in DCA and relax, usually not too bad in there. - kss4tink216.8 #1392 4-23-12 12:48PMLike Reply

Grab a map, they'll tell you which ones are Single Rider rides. Not all rides have them so take a look at the maps next time. You ask the CM at the end of the line for a Single Rider pass and they'll give you a slip of paper. They will then tell you where to go for the Single Rider line. Most of the time, you'll wait just a few minutes. But sometimes before getting to the loading stations you'll have to ride elevators. Like for Indy and Screamin'. Those are the two I do SR for most of the time. Have fun! Never wait in a long line for these rides again! haha. - craziemutant109.6 #2904 5-15-11 1:46AMLike Reply
