Hi,
I know I sound stupid but what does being a shareholder involve? How do you become one and what is the benefits?
Sorry I have just always wondered :oops:
A shareholder means that you own Shares in Disneyland (EDL)
To become a member or the shareholders club you have to own at least 5 shares and pay a yearly fee of €30 , or if you own 20 or more ELD Shares you get membership free :D/
Once a member you get discounts and invitations to shareholders events like movie premiers at DLRP, and shareholders meetings :D
Eurodisney shares are traded on the Paris Stock Market. You will need to speak to a stockbroker to arrange the purchase of any shares.
The easiest way to arrange a stockbroker is to speak to your bank. They will usually be able to arrange a purchase.
I have just purchased a further 15 shares to take my stockholding to 21 shares.
This cost me €61 including commission.
Having purchased your 5 shares (or 20 as Clarebelle said) you can then apply for membership of the Shareholders Club (Club Actionnaire).
This will give you rather a lot of discounts!
You can find more details on http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/sh ... ndex.xhtml (http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/shareholders/shareholders-club/index.xhtml)
We did ours with Self trade, much cheaper and with UK banks you mostly have to open a stock trading account, where they will charge you monthly fees for holding your shares, so not worth it!
I just purchased my 20 shares within the last fortnight. I also did it all online with selftrade, it was very simple. They charge one fee only, £12.50, on top of the share price you are buying.
Just waiting for my shareholder card to arrive in the post now :D
if you need your membership sooner than the 6 weeks it takes give them a call, we did today, got a very nice chap (French) who was very good at English, delt with our querie and although we got cut off :( he phoned us back and left a message saying our temporary certificate was on the way :D there in 9 days so it will come in handy :D and they will pay for themselves with the savings on AP and one trip to Salon Mickey should put us into profit :D/ cant wait!!!!!
Thank you Clarebelle, Elaine and Ford prefect !! =D> :D :D
In the
General membership terms of the Euro Disney S.C.A. Shareholders Club document (available here - //http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/CORP/EN/Neutral/Images/general-membership-conditions.pdf) it says
QuoteDiscounts on Disney® Hotels.....Not available on following nights: October 31, December 24 & 31
My question is this, if I was to go from say the 30th December to the 2nd January, would I get the discount for 2 of the 3 nights or is it not available because I'm staying over a black out period?
bump....... Anyone :-"
best people to check with would be disney but i would say it would be ok as long as you are not booking to stay on these dates
