Hi guys I'm looking for a sponsor for my ap infinity for when I go on my Nxt trip on 18th-21st September if any one can Help me out plz message me , cheers guys.

I can sponsor you and two more (3 in total), but I don't get there until the 19th. If you want to get a day ticket for the 18th and upgrade the next day, we can meet up for sponsorship.

Does anyone know how long you have to renew your passport after it's expired.  DW and I are visiting next month a day or two after our passes have expired.  I have already sent off to renew mine as I sponsored three people earlier in the year and will be getting 6 months free.  Originally DW wasn't sure if she wanted to get a new AP or if we should just use the friends ticket option for this trip.  However, with the 4 months free option we think that it is probably worth renewing, so just want to be sure that we will be able to do this if we try to a couple of days after the previous pass expiration.
In the event that we can do this, does anyone know the process,obviously if the pass has expired we won't have any valid park admission in order to get to the Annual Pass office.

TIA

If your pass is expired, the process is the same as buying a new one.
So you just buy an online ticket or one at the entrance, then go to the BPA and buy an AP.
Only if you renew BEFORE the AP expires, the 4month-offer is valid.

Thanks for the info.  That's a shame because I'm sure there used to be a one month period in which you could still "renew" your pass after it had expired, the new pass would simply have a start date of when your previous one had expired.

Thanks again

Phoned Disney and asked about getting the €139 passport delivered a couple of weeks early. They said that wouldn't get around the restriction of not being able to use it on the 2nd and 3rd day, as its only activated when first used.

On the brighter side, we should qualify for the 20% family deal as our brother-in-law lives with us (even though his surname is different they said it wouldn't matter if we bring proof of address).

The plan now is to get 4 €189 and 1 €249 pass so we can get the 10% discount in the restaurants.

Does anyone have any experience of renewing their annual passport by post recently?
I have never received any communication from DLP with regards to my annual passport (DW receives emails in French), my passport is due for renewal one calendar month from today, however, I am not returning to DLP until that exact date and even then not until very late in the evening, after the park is scheduled to close.  I currently have a Dream Passport and sponsored three people earlier in the year meaning that I am entitled to a free six month Magic Plus Passport.
All of these factors when combined mean that I am a little lost as to what the correct procedure might be

Just a quick update, thanks to following the advice given by NCC1701Q, I got my new pass back within 8 days of sending my renewal form off from the UK.
To my surprise my new passport is a Dream Pass valid for one year!
Not sure if anyone else will get the same experience, but felt I should share.

Does anyone have experience of recently buying an annual passport using shareholders discount?

I'm wanting to buy annual passes for my daughter and I on our next visit. Now I've read that they need proof that the minor is your child. Since I'm the mother, she doesn't have my surname. What should I bring to buy her Annual Pass?

No, but it shouldn't be a problem. The Shareholders Club has confirmed that all cards including benefits will be valid for the next 10 years. So that should include the discount.

Hello - looking for advice on the new Discovery passes. We have booked flights and hotels for January with the intention of buying new APs. We've had Dream passes in the past but they've been expired for a while.
I'm a bit disappointed by the new 189€ pass - the discounts and perks aren't worth an extra 50€ in my opinion.
But I'm struggling to figure out whether the 139€ Discovery pass has similar restrictions to the cheap passes of the past, where you can't use it the day you buy it or something.  Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Thanks Pete's Dragon. Knowing this, we have decided not to get APs after all - we cancelled our room only bookings and opted for the Golden Forrest via Disney as well with park tickets included.
Probably saves my wallet from the other trip I would have justified to myself during the year....

Is that only available on-site (so having to buy a one-day ticket and go into the passport office) or can it be done by phone?

Hi all,

Our family went to DLP in August. We'd bought the Annual Classic Passports back in early March before they were replaced and then had six months to activate them.

We activated them in early August and they are valid up until august 2018. All fine this far.

My problem now is that I've boked a week away next June in a local campsite but cant find anywhere that shows me the blackout days for June 2018. Any ideas where I'd get access to this information?
