Should I buy a Premium Annual Pass?

I read JMU's post about possibly doing so since she's running multiple events with RunDisney and that got me wondering if I should as well.

I've already bought a 4-day hopper through the W&D discount program...those were about $250 each.

I am running the Tinkerbell Half in January at DL - would need a 3-day hopper there (that's $210).

I am now about 98% sure I'm running the Princess Half in February at WDW - would need at least a 3-day hopper there (I'm assuming another $210 or so?).

So that's $670, which is $100 less than the cost of a PAP.

I don't know if I will take another trip after that Princess half - if I did, then obviously, the PAP would be a good choice, since it would have paid for itself. But I do know that having that PAP allows me to get a TiW card that will save me on food (I'm not doing DDP at all on any trip), right? But did I read that there is an automatic gratuity added when the TiW card is used?

What other benefits would I get from having it? Can you guys help me with the pros and cons?

Do you mean the Premier AP which gives you admission to Disney World & Disneyland? Or the Disney World Premium Annual Pass? The Premier AP is $979 & can only be purchased at Disney World or Disneyland.

Not sure about the whole DL/WDW thing but I assume you factored in that there are no room or ticket discounts for Princess? So your Princess park tix may be more depending on how you did your math. Its the cost of the princess tix that made it make sense for me to get an AP.

Oh, you're right. Womp womp. No way will that ever pay for itself. JK, everyone! Smile
