yes, its 10% off if you sponsor her AP - but you have to have had your own AP for a month (it might be 2) before you can start sponsoring other AP purchases, including your daughters. Sorry I can't be more exact about how long it is before you can start sponsoring with your AP, I haven't done it myself for a couple of years now.

Ah, was hoping to be able to do it straight away. Oh well I can get a discount elsewhere if needs be.

I notice the blackout dates for the Classic/Discovery pass have changed. On the leaflet that came with the pass it says 24th Jan is not blocked, but on the DLRPmagic website it says that date is blocked. Will I be able to access the park if, when I bought the pass and booked the trip, that date was not blocked?

Hi all you knowledgable Disney fans

Can anyone tell me if I we need to take our own photo's to Disney when buying the annual pass and also, how late can we get the passes? We will be arriving sunday evening around 6.30 ish and staying in the Marriot. Would the annual pass office still be open then? It would be nice to go into the park for a few hours if possible as I don't know if the kids will be able to stand the suspense if we have to wait till the next morning! Thanks in advance for any info.

I've bought my annual passes at Bureau Donald just before you enter the main park, at 7.30pm on a Sunday evening before. So you should be able to do it when you arrive I'd have thought. You don't need to take photographs with you, your photo is taken at the time you buy your passes, at the office you buy them at.

Hello!
I have one question. When i am AP holder (Fantasy or Dream) and i will booked some Disney hotel - is the price cheaper (AP price + hotel price, 5 days) then i book the same package without AP, please?

(sorry for my english)

theres no way of knowing that unless you look at how much the package would cost you (hotel and park tickets) and then phone Disney to ask them how much it would cost for the same hotel, same dates, but for room only with your annual pass.

Like Elaine said, it's hard to say depending on when and where you stay and for how long. I would guess that for a 5 day stay in any of the Disney hotels you at least recoup the cost of a Dream AP (€199) we always have. I think for families with older kids that don't fall into the kids under 7 stay and play free offers then it's not such a saving. We're going in January to DCR for 5 days and paid £425 for 3 of us instead of £853, we have 1 Dream AP and 2 Fantasy AP's (total cost of AP's = £437) add that to the holiday cost and you get £862, slightly more than the direct with Disney price but this is our second trip with these AP's so our overall saving is much more and you still get discount in the shops and restaurants.

ulak · November 14, 2011, 07:08:14 PM

thank you ver much to all for answer. my english is not good for phone to DLP (price for this calling will be very big price after all)
maybe is better no-disney hotel? have you any tip for good price and close hotel near DLP, please? thank you!

2. will be AP expensive for next year or the same price? (i mean when i buy it in april-may?)

Elaine · November 14, 2011, 07:53:42 PM

I don't think an AP will increase much in price, maybe 10 euros if at all.
I usually look on Expedia, travelrepublic, alpharooms and the hotels' own websites for offsite hotels. The Kyriad, Magic Circus, Dream Castle, and Explorers hotels and all together in a row, not far from the Santa Fe. They all are served by free shuttle buses to and from the parks, just like the onsite hotels. You don't get extra magic hours if you stay at any of these hotels though, unless you have a Dream Annual Pass as your park entry ticket.
