In years past, probably not so much. now, it depends how you value your time. We usually feel like staying at one of the onsite deluxes is a good deal for us.Is is "smart"/worthwhile to get the Universal Express Pass?
One tip - you can print your FOTL pass in the morning of the day you arrive, and use it all night the day you check out. So one night can = two days of FOTLA passes. Two onsite nights= 3 days of FOTL passes, but the value is related to how much time you want to spend unpacking and sleeping.
any of the dining deals?
They would not be a good deal for us. Well, except for one- club level!
Club level has a few complications, but sometimes it is a good deal for us. Adding CL is usually a flat fee per room, per day. So it is a bad deal for one person, but a better deal for a family of four with two teens.
CL is a place to get breakfast and snacks. It usually costs much more than groceries, so not a good deal if you like offsite condos/rental houses. It is sometimes a better deal than food court breakfasts.
However.... CL's generally only become a decent deal if you are also at the hotel for the 5-7pm appetizers or 8pm desserts.
