Is the Frozen Holiday Premium Package worth the price?


We are fast approaching our next Disney vacation in November and I still have Frozen fever.  As soon as I heard about the Frozen Holiday Premium Package at Hollywood Studios, I wanted to jump on it immediately. 
My dear husband, who plays a big part in figuring out our Disney budget, asked "Is it worth it?"  With snowflake tears glistening in eyes, I said, "yes"  without even thinking about the hard ticket cost of $89 for adults, $59 for children. That day it was announced, we booked it. 
Now having a slight case of buyers regret I think I can reason why it is worth it. 

Is it worth it?  
The cost of the pin and lithograph ($30):  Pins can retail for $6.99-20.  I would estimate it on the high end of $15.  Even though I have not seen the litho I would estimate it's value at $15 for a total of $30.  It's nice to walk away from an event with some kind of hard memento.
Dessert party with alcoholic beverages:  If the desserts are full size and if you can eat 2 desserts at $6 each, for a total of $12  Figuring the cost of alcohol really depends on how much you drink.  I am bringing my father, who enjoys a taking the time to have a few different specialty drinks.  I know this will be up his alley.   Pricing the drinks at the high end of $10 each-total of drinks-$20.  I estimate the cost of food and drink worth $32.
Reserved seating: So what about the extra $27.  Is the reserved seating worth it?
 This Disney trip we are bringing my 75 year old Dad, who has had both knees replaced and back problems.  He wants to spend this special time with his 3 year old grandson.  It will be Grandpa and Grandson's first trip to Disney together. I think the preferred viewing for the Sing-a -long and the Lights is well worth it. It guarantees a spot for my father to sit.  It also provides a good spot for my shorty son to see his favorite gals sing some of his favorite songs.
Also I know my father will enjoy a nice drink and a good dessert in the evening.  (The apple doesn't fall far the tree.)  I know I am looking forward to it.
