Title: Annual Fantasy Pass hotel disconts
Post by: garybrett on November 04, 2015, 12:31:53 PM
Hi there, just got back from a lovely birthday trip to DLP and now organising another birthday trip for youngest! We have the Annual Fantasy Pass which offers us 25% of Disney hotels, does anyone know if this includes partner hotels on the website such as Explorers & Elycee and do you have to book direct with Disney?

I think its cheaper to book direct with hotel?

Thank you

It's for Disneyland Paris official hotels only, not partner hotels.
You book directly at Disneyland Paris (by phone) to get the discount. There's no other way to do it.

The annual pass discount are not normally as attractive as whatever off DLP are offering to the general public, and the discounts can't be combined with the offers. Work out which is more favourable to you - discount or offer.

You know that AP holders can stay at Disney hotels for free (just paying tourist tax) as long as there is one guest paying full price?

You book (and pay for) a hotel room for one person - that person will receive accommodation, breakfast, park tickets and any food options they choose.
You then ring DLP and tell them there will be additional AP holders staying in the room. When you arrive, the additional people will need to pay tourist tax (around 1 Euro per night per person) - they will receive accommodation and breakfast, but no park tickets or other food options.

Woah!  So in theory next year when I'm thinking of taking my Nan with us for her 75th birthday, rather than staying off site and getting her an AP, I could book a family room in a Disney hotel and then just ring and add us all on to the booking as we all have AP's?

Exactly. As long as you don't over occupy the room.

This is very good news indeed! Thank you, I'm so glad you posted this!
I think NPB Compass Club room for 6 will do very nicely  :D 

Conversely, is this also the case for AP holders? I mean to say, if one AP holder booked a room with their 35% room discount, could they then add additional guests to the room later on?

I'm pretty sure you won't get a room for 6 onsite. You Would need to request two adjoining rooms.

There are some rooms for 5 and 6 but mostly they need to be booked by phone.

The price of rooms with an AP discount does not vary by number of guests (save in terms of tourist tax).
