I have premium AP, first and foremost there are not blackout days, you can get in any day the parks are open. you have to call about hotel discounts, we got PP for $166.00 a night concierge. You also get free parking in the Mickey and Friends parking garage so you don’t have to deal with shuttles or $11.00 a day to park. You also get discounts on dining and merchandise, the dining discount can add up very fast. They will often offer tickets to special events to AP holders before the general public, hard ticket events like Mickey’s not so Scary Halloween party, and sometimes AP previews of new attractions. Special AP pins also.

There are 3 levels of Passes for Disneyland, SoCal(Select and Regular), Deluxe, Premium. The biggest difference between Premium and Deluxe is that the Premium has no Blockout Days, while the Deluxe has about 50 days where you can not go. So if you are going when the Deluxe would be blocked out then Premium is the way to go.
For things like hotel discounts when they give AP discounts they don’t give better ones depending on your level. Also, most of the hotel discounts have been for Sunday night stays lately. For AP events(when they have them) they don’t give premium priority over other levels. They did do this a few years ago, but that has seem to have gone away. But one thing the premium gets is better discounts.
Parking:
Premium- Included
Deluxe – $59 Add-On
Food:
Premium: 15%
Deluxe: 10%
Merchandise:
Premium 10%
Deluxe: No Discount
Blockout Ticket(Entry on Days AP not valid)
Premium: Not Needed
Deluxe: $30
One trick if you are deciding between a Deluxe and Premium. Is that if you purchase your AP on a day that would be a blockout day they don’t count it. So if you happen to go on a day when the Deluxe Pass was blocked out, if you bought the pass that day you would be able to use it without paying for the blockout ticket.
The link below will give you all of the differences between the passes.

well, you will save a lot of money on park admission alone. my husband and i saved at least $300 on parking, merchandise and food when we got our premium passes last year.
this year, we figured we could save about $130 if one of us got a premium pass (no blackout dates, free parking in mickey and friends, 15% discount on food and 10% on merchandise) and one got a deluxe (less than 30 blockout dates, 10% discount on food.) at some disney resort hotels you can get a discount, and you can get preferred seating at some restaurants. also, you can use your premium pass to get discounts at some DTD restaurants and shops as well.
honestly, there’s no downside to getting APs unless you only plan on going once. basically, after our second trip our passes were already paid for.
added bonus-when we were down there a couple of weeks ago they were offering double discount in the shops to APs, so we saved 20% at world of disney, the emporium, pin shops, etc. etc. it was awesome! idk how often DL does this though.
