Halloweekends questions - driving from Memphis, TN!

OK, my wife and I are planning on making the approximately 11 hour drive from Memphis, TN to visit Cedar Point in mid-October.

For $335, I get 2 nights at the Breakers Express, One Hour Early Entry to Cedar Point, a Friday Evening Ticket per registered guest, an Adult All Day Cedar Point Ticket per registered Adult, Dairy Queen breakfast per Registered Guest per night of stay, and a Cedar Point parking voucher valid for dates of stay.

I want this to be the best trip possible - obviously- so two quick questions:

1) Is the above as good a deal as it sounds?
2) I've read about how crowded Saturdays during Halloweekends are, so if my wife and I did Friday evening and all day Sunday would we have enough time to get everything in? Yes, we want to do rides AND haunts.

Also, if we did Friday and Sunday I was thinking we could do the Ghostly Manor/Lake Eeriefest haunted houses on Saturday. Any thoughts on those attractions?

Thanks for your help. We've never been to Cedar Point, so I'm doing all the research I can to make this as fun for my wife and I as possible.

Personally, I would suggest doing the latter and just doing the park on Friday and Sunday, two days where there will generally be little or no lines. If you were to do the park on Saturday, be prepared to wait in lines, even if you did put out the $120 to do Fast Lane.

As for the deal, it doesn't seem too bad, in my opinion. Park admission alone is $45/person for Saturday, and $36/person on Friday night, equaling about $162. Add $30 for the two days parking, and then probably about $35 of value for the two days of breakfast at DQ. Which leaves about $100 for the two nights at Breakers Express, which I don't think is bad at all.
