I would honestly say if you can afford the tour then i'd do it. It is well worth the money. Plus since your going this weekend expect the largest crowds yet. The last weekend always sells out and they have to close the gates around 9pm because the park is at capacity.

I would also expect about an hour wait for each haunt and possible 2 hours for the 4 most popular ones. so if you can knock out 2-3 in the tour thats helps alot.
