AP holders: on average, how many days a month (or year?) do you enter the park? If you live in SoCal, do you recommend the discounted AP, or the passes with more dates (Premium or Deluxe)? I live 6 hours north right now, and we had APs last year, and made a total of 7 trips (26 park entries). We're likely moving 30-60 min from the DLR in 6 months, and am debating my pass options. Any input welcome.
if you can i would recommend premium - toph

Most definitely! - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 6:22PM
3rd! This NorCal girl always goes with Premium - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1773.1 #42 6:28PM
@ChurroVC: Where in NorCal do you live? - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:20PM
San José area➰ - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1773.1 #42 10:35PM
I grew up in the Evergreen area of SJ. - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:41PM
Echo the ChicaDelChurro...... Nor Cal with premium. - NascarDave 220.2 #1352 10:56PM
I live in San Diego 68 miles away and go at least every two weeks so Premium is a must for weekends/holidays! - ShariRenee

Us too! But we live about 100 miles away :) (also in San Diego) - Lola027 444.9 #277 6:39PM
You two must be south or east of me, I also cheat and visit the kids at Chapman ;) - ShariRenee 1505.1 #50 10:09PM
I have a premium pass and I usually go about 2-3 times a week. - SorcererD91

My husband and I have the premium. It is well worth it for us. Saturday is our date night and we are there almost every Saturday night. Plus I go every week with my cousin. - susiet23

I go about once a week. I have a premium. After having premium the past few years I don't think I could go down to one of the others. Maybe a delux pass since I usually got Friday nights mostly but I wouldn't go down to the other two. I just find it that after you add parking to any of them especially delux, you might as well just get a premium. Lol you said, since your teachers you're off times are basically the busy times so I would go delux or premium. - TikiJOSEsWingman

Oh yeah--parking! We used the free parking only a few times last year, because we always stay in hotels within walking distance; however, we won't stay in hotels at all when we move. Well, we can afford the Premiums, but I was just mulling over if a SoCal pass would be more reasonable--prob not for our situation. - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 6:07PM
I tend to go on days ending in "y". Once you've had a premium, nothing else will do - ScooterMike
1959.8 #35 6:45PM
I had a feeling...we've been spoiled with the Premium passes, living 300 miles away...I'll probably be there all the time when only 45 miles away! - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:07PM
I'm about 25 minutes away and when I'm lucky, I go once, maybe twice a week. The premium pass is awesome because parking is included and I never have to check to see if my pass is blocked. I love going whenever I want. - Vegan7LuvsStitch

When i was a passholder, i always visit the park every other weekend. Saturdays is the only day i can spend a whole day inside the park (also during a holiday long weekend), that is why i will vote for PREMIUM passholder - otilegna

And i am from San Diego who always take the Amtrak train. - otilegna 854.6 #106 10:44PM
I think if you move closer to the parks you will find yourself going more often. If you can afford to go premium I say do it! :) My bf and I go about 4 times a month. We've had the the premium APs for a few months now and it's really worth it. The discounts are also a plus :) Whatever your choice is enjoy since you will be close to the parks! - LuvsMimisHouse

Thanks! We had premium passes this past year--and LOVED having them--but the price is double that of a SoCal pass. We are teachers, however, so I'd see us going during the days the SoCal passes are blocked, so that may not be an option... - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 5:36PM
We like the so cal. It's basically blacked out during te busy times, or when kids are out of school. Holidays, Saturday, and summer and Xmas. - Normstar
81.1 #3260 5:36PM
So, when do you go? We both work, so we'd only go on weekends or school holidays. Do you go in the evenings after work? - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 5:40PM
You can go on many Sundays. - aidensmama 336.3 #442 5:52PM
Yeah me too i have the so cal i dont go everyday and i don't like going on the summer n busy days. I like going on off season so the so cal works 4 me n my kids because when regular school starts my kids get vacation because they go to Jewish school. So it all depends on how your schedule is. - mante90 6.2 #8875 6:28PM
My friend had a premium. When it was time for her upgrade she went all the way to the basic pass. She regrets doing it everyday she can't go. - Waites4DodgerEars
659.1 #158 6:06PM
She should upgrade it. - meridafan 1032.6 #84 7:07PM
We have premium and go a few times a month. We tried Deluxe once but nothing worse than wanting to go and it being a blackout day! The premium also gets you extra discounts on food, hotels and stuff! - InnerMeow

I live in Sacramento, usually drive down and have a Premium pass. I average at least one visit a month. - MrsMears
212.0 #1449 6:12PM
We live in Vacaville(by Sacramento), have premium passes and drive down at least once a month - HpplyEvrAftr 221.8 #1335 6:39PM
We could nearly be carpooling! lol - MrsMears 212.0 #1449 8:30PM
Once a month--really?? I wish! I live in the Central Valley, and have only made it 7x in the last year :-/ - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:43PM
I've made 5 trips this year, 4 on my AP, and many times, I can only make it on the weekend, so I went for the premium. Shop for your visits, and compare what makes sense for you. - ThatKimberly
334.5 #448 6:41PM
The 365 pass is the best way - joxua
35.3 #4151 6:42PM
Premium is best,makes it easier to plan not having to worry about block out dates - madsdad
1120.6 #73 6:45PM
We live in Fresno and premium is the way to go. Like the option to go whenever we want. - TangledsDad

I have a premium and go at least once a year. - Tom
3793.4 #7 8:20PM
Or is it once a week? 😜 - Tom 3793.4 #7 8:21PM
Really? - ShariRenee 1505.1 #50 10:20PM
Yup. Sometimes just walk around and eat dinner. I llke the atmosphere. - Tom 3793.4 #7 10:46PM
If you're going to be that close get the premium. You wont need much of a reason to go enjoy the parks. - RyanGTO
4.6 #11225 8:25PM
I have a premium and I go once a week. Would always recommend premium for the bigger discount and parking. - KissDclown
1088.1 #76 10:10PM
I can't imagine going once a week--you're so lucky!! I'm sold on the Premium passes, and hopefully I'll be able to go as often as you :-) - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:15PM
I live 45-60min away from the parks. I go on the weekend. It is really an easy drive - KissDclown 1088.1 #76 10:18PM
I have a Deluxe but I live in the bay area. - Sharkgrrl19
202.9 #1584 10:13PM
You'll find yourself wanting to go more and more and then you'll be glad to have premium. - MarshaMouse
2834.7 #15 10:19PM
I have deluxe and live in the central valley. We go an average of 4 to 6 times or about 20 entries... - JKemp
12.2 #6171 10:22PM
Where at in the Valley? I'm in Stockton. - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:44PM
What started out with a promise of once a month has turned into 2 and sometimes 3 visits a month. We live 3 and a half hours away so our trips are always 1 or 2 night stays. and of course we do the occasional impromptu turn around trip... we've come to realize we're addicted Premium Pass the only way for us to go - DumboGal70
86.0 #3193 10:39PM
The same thing happened to us. I bought Premium passes in 2011 because we wanted to do one holiday trip for 5 days and one trip for the 1/2 marathon weekend. 4 more planned trips and one impromptu birthday trip later, and we definitely realized we were hooked. And this is with us living 6 hours away! - MommaMel 24.5 #4689 10:47PM
im an app holder and in a week ill go like 2 times or just once depends on who wants to go but i also live only liek 25 min away - Hendizl
