Thanks very much for the replies.

i have just got the share account planning on buying the shares either this week or next when i have a free min to work out how to do it

oooh thats good to make a profit already do you normally stay on site with your annual passes?

Thanks

it depends what offer is best really - but usually no, we stay offsite if all our annual passes are current.

Im interested in buying shares for two reasons, one because .... well its disney and in the long run i dont think i can lose that much yet can gain more!

nd  the discounts, personally i think 10 and 15% is a lot and im all for it, the salon mickey sounds good also, but i wanted to ask, if i went to salon mickey with my partner, would she get in also? or does she need her own shares?!

a shareholder can take up to 3 guests in with them to Salon Mickey (up to 4 if they are immediate family).

So whoever got the shares through halifax, i bank with them so will prob be my best bet, but could you tell me exactly how much it cost you for your shares please?! Thanks x

Share price is around €5.5 at the moment...  So around £100 for the 20 shares.  

I bought my shares yesterday via Halifax Share dealing online. Straight forward to use. If you havent already, register online now, just in case it takes a couple of days for your temporary password to come through.  

Halifax usually charge £17.50 - its on a foreign market, so more expensive than UK shares to buy. However, for the Rugby World Cup they have a special promotion and the fee is reduced to £5 on FRIDAYs. So it makes sense to regster now and buy next week.  ( unless the share price shoots up... Which seems improbable!)

Hey evryone, havent bought my shares yet although i can see the share price has gone done even further (yey).

i opened my halifax account with £120.00 i wasnt sure how much the shares price would be, but in the account it says there isn't any funds available to deal with, am i doing something wrong?

also when i hit the deal button it keeps coming up with errors on the page so its not loading properly?

i've also checked my bank account and the money hasnt come out either, so im a bit confused as to how the account is live and active? any help appreciated

No wonder you were confused.

Now is a really good time to buy shares, the price is almost 5e cheaper than when I bought mine but still worth the money just to visit Salon Mickey.

just waiting for tomorrow when the commission is good and then ill be halfway there to salon mickey its nice being part of a special club!

Joining the Shareholders Club is definitely not worth it, simply to get into Salon Mickey. Sure, it's nice to get free hot drinks and free pastries, but what you're paying to be a Shareholder is way more than the value of those treats. So save your money, and take it to the Cable Car Bake Shop instead.

The administration fee for being a member of the Shareholders Club is €30 every 2 years. So that's €15 a year, which pays for quite a few items in the Cable Car Bake Shop.

That said, if you visit Disneyland Paris multiples times per year, then yes, access to Salon Mickey does save you money.

I don't agree with Alan, the benefits of the shareholders club are not just Salon Mickey. Salon Mickey is a nice bonus, but the best reason for buying shares is the discounts available to shareholders. 20 per cent in shops 15 per cent in restaurants and. I think 10 per cent off annual passports. It would'nt take many visits to pay for the shares, then you are in profit! and you still get to use Salon Mickey every visit.

Good point. I was just commenting on people that buy shares and pay to join the Shareholders Club, solely to get into Salon Mickey.

Actually, what's the cheapest way of getting Disneyland Paris shares? I mean, how little do you need to invest in order to be eligible to join the Shareholders Club?

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Yes access to Salon Mickey is nice but the money we have saved in discounts in the parks and at the Disney store back home mean the shares have more than paid for themselves already.

shares are just over 4 euros each at the moment. If you buy 5, this is the minimum requirement to join the shareholders club (and you do pay the 30 euro admin fee every 2 years). However, if you buy 20 or more shares, you do not have to pay any admin fee at all to join the shareholders club.

if you buy them at the right time, shares can pay for themselves in one trip - so even if you only use them for 2 years (the minimum time you join the shareholders club for) and visit dlp once a year, you'd have made your money back in discounts. And of course, you can always sell your shares again when you no longer want/need them.
