Should I upgrade to a premium pass when I get there or just pay the 40 dollars to get in? If I pay the 40 dollars to get in can I still go to both parks and use fastpass?
2	TINK-MOBILE Fri 7/4/2008 7:32a	I did exactly that I upgraded to a premium pass, if you are thinking of going at another time block outs are in effect you should up grade..you also save a lil more on food purchases , there are a few other perks as well,last year we were there at christmas time, so we bought a eight day pass to cover all the blockout dates then on our last day of our eight day pass we upgraded to a deluxe pass , i then upgraded to a premium pass , if you are going to go more than once then it is better , also once you have it, if you live close you can pop in anytime you want...have fun this weekend. yes you can still go to both parks...anyone can use fast passes..as well cheers from the tink-mobile

Totally worth it in my opinion. On the other hand, if you don't already have parking on your pass (which increases the upgrade cost) and you are not going to pay to park a car on the 5th, that's $80 more than your block out pass. Not such an easy decsion. Do you see yourself going 2 more times on block out days? That's what it would take to make it worth it. Only you can decide.
