The Premium is $649 and includes parking, which is a HUGE benefit.  The Deluxe is $469, but if you pre-purchase parking with it, the cost is $598.  That's an increase of $129, but if you plan on visiting about 9 times, it'll pay for itself in parking fees alone.  So, in that case, if you do decide to buy the Deluxe with parking, you might as well go the distance and buy a Premium for an additional $51 and enjoy a whole year without blackout dates, with parking included, and the other discounts associated with the Premium. - susieQzee  480.9 #247 6:48PM

One of the main differences compared to the Premium and Deluxe is that Premium has no blockout dates, parking is included and get 20% off merch (all others get 10%) - BaseballMickey_CM  2863.5 #16 3:09PM

I haven't done the math since the price hike, but the difference between the deluxe with parking and the premium was only $20.00 (in March). - cinderelli  325.7 #496 3:29PM

I looked at it this way...it cost me $8 or so per week for the best life and magic have to offer, when I have to pay price increase it'll cost me $11 or so per week...that's the cost of lunch at a good place, so do I think Premium is worth it? Yup!!! And I go at least once a week if not more, so definitely worth it! - MarshaMouse  2871.6 #15 10:47PM

Premium is worth it! Little secret is during the summer when all other passes are blocked (Sat) the parks in the past have been less busy! We love block out dates! - snappy  272.7 #807 10:58PM

I wish they would have given a discount if you purchased like say, four passes. Since DL is a family place I figured that would be the thing to do. - A_kid_again  8.5 #7356 11:03PM

In Australia, to Get an annual passes for our movie world, plus seaworld AND wet'n'wild water park with free parking and no block out dates it costs us $500 for a family of 6 lol. Thats 3 parks for $99 each with buy 4 get one free lol. But there is a reason why my family keeps saving for Disneyland lol - TrueFromOzLovesDisney  312.3 #548 11:05PM

My family has deluxe passes now which expire in Nov.  We are considering Premium next time around.  How much will it roughly be per month?  Right now for 3 of us we pay $75 a month.  However, our son is turning 3 in Oct so we will need one for him, so we need to buy 4 next year.  - DaisyDork  170.0 #2009 11:07PM

We have 2 Premiums for adults and 3 Deluxes.  I regret them all not being Premiums this year.  Next year all will be Premium so no blockout dates.  Plus, the kids get the discount too when they go on field trips.  We all take lunch every day and try not to eat out.  That savings allows for the passes.  We just hit 50 visits in this calendar year and have paid them off entirely. - MeridasHair  319.9 #525 1:55PM
