Title: Annual Pass — questions and privileges

This is our official topic for Annual Passes at Disneyland Paris - all planning questions and tips go here!
The resort offers three different tiered passports, each offering access to both parks and providing a range of discounts and privileges.
• Annual Passes (http://www.dlrpmagic.com/planning/booking/annual-passports/)

Original post from 2007
I wasn't sure where to post this, so maybe we could have a single topic for all AP stuff?
I just noticed what seems to be a new catch for the PA Francilien:
(1) Le Passeport Annuel Francilien est accessible à tous et ne permet pas l'accès aux 2 Parcs Disney les 2ème et 3ème jour suivant l'établissement du Passeport Annuel définitif.
Basically, you can't use it the 2nd and 3rd days following the day you buy it, meaning that anyone trying to save money by buying one instead of a 3-Day Passe-Partout... can't. I don't remember this being there before.

I spotted that, too when I looked at getting a Francilien Pass instead of the Fantasy Pass during my visit there... which now I will get when we are there by late April.
Very sneaky, I thought. But I suppose they want to sell the Francilien Pass to more locals than visitors, hmmm?
That's cool. The AP Fantasy is still a great deal for myself, IMhO.

Hummm in fact they 'opened' the old Proximity Passport for the broad public and called it Francilien now. I am still happy with my Fantasy AP, but I think especially if you do some Resort-and-Paris combination, the Francilien might be a nice offer (as long as you don't do the shopping and the dining. You'd be better off with the 10%/20% discounts in this case).
So, for the low-budgeteers:
Find your hotel in Paris, then hop on the RER for 1 Day of magic and getting the AP, after this spend 2 days in Paris (maybe a weekend, as Disney's crowded then anyway), and then, voilà, back to the Mouse, super savers as we are!
The RER day Ticket (mobilis) is 12,30 so can still enjoy the Francilien deal!

Hey doddy!
If it's your turn, it'll take about good 5 minutes for each AP to produce, depending on your skills in french speaking and spelling (english native speakers are rare there). So it can get a bit time-consuming for them to acquire your data. Bring a smile, as they will take the photo as the last action :-)
This is the new park map, AP office is almost in the middle, very next to the central plaza towards Discoveryland, marked on the map in a white box named "Annual Passport Office" :-) It's at the back of Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast and vis-à-vis the Royal Castle Stage where Winnie the Pooh's show is taking place.
Another question that wasn't not asked, but might be relevant:
Should you consider getting sponsored, remember: you'll need someone else whose AP is at least 1 month old! So you might want to ask your friends in time if they want to sponsor you. They'll be happy about this!
Actual possible AP discounts:
- 10% for getting sponsored
- 15% for shareholders and their family
- 20% for family APs (5 APs / same address)
- combination of 15% and 20% possible!
Cheers

It can be a bit crowded on full days or if they don't have that many counters in use. Usually you ensign at the welcome desk, they can tell you then how long to wait approximately. I never waited more than 10 minutes.

We have the Dream passports for all 6 of us. The discount was nice 146 Euro instead of the 179.
We bought our Passports before we entered the park. There is a place on the right underneath the hotel where you can purchase them. We waited about 10-15 minutes in line for ours and it took maybe 10 minutes to recieve our passes.
We don't speak or read French and I am wondering why we have never received a newsletter. (We bought our passes in Feb) I would be interested in the 18 month for the price of 12 definitly!! (my husband would probably kill me though as he want's to visit the rest of Europe, not just Disney LOL)

Does anyone have any tips? thanks

What kind of tips are you looking for?
If you are not in France or French you will have to buy them at the Park. I am not even sure how to ge tthem online as I speak very little French!

Yes, the form needs to be completed in French. I think I can manage it, but just wondered if anyone had gone through that process recently.
I noticed though that you have said that you can actually buy them at the park entrance before going in, which sounds OK, was it straightforward? And it's to the right under the hotel? Thanks

It was very strait forward. I believe they looked at each of our passports (for identification) put in our German mailing address (not that I ever receive any mail) in the computer which was right in front of us under glass in the counter. Then she handed us our contract with (at that time they were giving coupons away) our complimentary fastpasses & coupons for eating & shopping in the park. When we drive to the park we just show them our Dream Passport and we get waved trhough without having to pay for parking. We show our passport in the shops for our discount (now 20% I believe) and/or at the restaurants for our 10% discount. We don't really drink so we never get the appertif and I'm not really how sure our discount was when we booked our hotel without park tickets. I can always find cheaper hotels and places to stay online. Since we only sleep or use the pool I don't see paying that much more for a Disney hotel since we would have to book 2 rooms with the size of our family. I can find a room that sleeps all of us off site cheaper. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any more questions...

Hi, we have a 3nt/4day stay booked for later in the year which includes 'length of stay' passes. Can we pay a supplement to Upgrade them to Annual passports? - Fantasy is most likely.
Our youngest son (3 year old) will go free, what will we have to pay to get him an AP?
I'll be grateful for any advice.

Sadly at best you will get the value of a one day ticket towards the cost of APs. We never book packages anymore as a Fantasy Pass is actually £1 cheaper than a 3 day hopper. If your son is 3 at the time of the trip, you will not be able to get him an AP. Once he is 4, you can then buy an AP, but it is the same price as the adult passes.

Ok the best thing I can tell you to do and hope it works is when you are walking towards the DLP Hotel (big Pink one) go to the Right of it and under a wing of the hotel on the left is a door where you can enter to purchase anuual passes before you get into the park. When we were there the last few days everytime we went by the doors were open and there was no one even waiting in line. If youa re talking about before you even get to DLP then I think you can order them online or mail an order in but it could take a month maybe to get your vouchers and then you would still have to take your picture at the park. I think :?

The shopping discount is available for the entire time your AP is valid. You can use it at any DLRP-run store (so in Disney Village, the main ones like Disney Store, Hollywood Pictures..) across the resort. :)

Hello,
I am off with my wife and our 2 girls on the 16th July for 5 days and 4 nights and have been considering buying annual passes to make future trips cheaper (and shopping, meals etc) and would love a bit of advice on which to get (and I have read on here we may get some money off the ap if we get them on the first day - due to us already having paid for tickets (and if so, what sort of discount), or does this not count as we have got a hotel/park package?).
I was thinking about the dream passes so we could go whenever but not sure if it is worth the cost of buying them for our girls as well, I know this means they will get into the park free but they are only 6 and 3 and a half and I imagine we would visit and stay in the disney hotels another 2-3 times a year (for 3,4,5 days at a time), what sort of discounts do you get for the hotels as I have only ever been quoted the prices for hotels with the park passes and I am trying to see what savings we might get (without park passes and room only with ap discount)?
All help appreciated!

The Dream pass is simply incredible....I got it for 161 euros in April (existing passholders can get new people 10% off - plus earn 12 months free themselves).
I've been twice now - 4 days and 5 days. It saves me 20% off on merchandise, including sale stuff. Free drink in restaurants, 10% off food, free EMH entry, entry prior to park opening into Fantasyland, free use of the luggage service.....I would be lost without mine.
I'd say if you are going for 3 days or more they are worth it.

Hi Bopshop,
Many thanks for that info, I am now determined to get 2 for me and my wife, and just considering if it's worth it for the children as with ours will cover any hotel bookings and discounts at meals (as only need 1 for those) so their use will just be for getting into the park for free? or do they need them if we get invited to special previews?
I am just trying to budget and plan the best way to do this:)

If you take advantage of any AP perks, all of you must have the same AP to benefit for special events, free drinks etc. If you are going to DLP before August, you can get a free child AP with every adult AP. The Dream pass is totally worth it IMHO.

Really looking forward to our trip as it sounds like lots of work has been done in the park since our last visit at Christmas 2005.

To answer the query about savings on hotels, you need to call DLP to get a quote. Or Expedia has room only deals, so to look at bandings on there and subtract 10 - 30%. However, we find now that it is much better and cheaper to go to the Holiday Inn or Marriott (we often drive, and the Dream pass even let's you park at any of the DLP hotels except the DLH) for a better quality experience. Then we go to the Disney hotels for dinner and drinks. This to me is much better and there is some wind down time.
And I have a friend who lives a very economical lifestyle and he goes to DLP from England about 10 times a year staying at places like the eTap and Pierre and Vacance.
Remember UK DLPers, Tesco club card points can be used on the Channel Tunnel or Eurostar - £2.50 in voucher = £10 towards your travel!!!!
We have been to DLP on a real budget before and had a luxury holiday thanks to our AP's. In fact we just spent 12 days at DLP for 4 of us, and the travel, 5* accommodation and passes cost us £1400 - add in the discounts at the hotels and restaurants (we also saw about 21 friends who we were able to help out - discount on their tickets, and our meals together) and it was a great deal.
In return, Disney probably sees us eating 15 - 20 table service meals in their restaurants, and I know we spent about £1000 in souvenirs (including 2 crates of the 15th anniversary wine). Without the AP's, we probably wouldn't do this.

That's what we did for our 4 year old in June. However, you must state that's what you want to do when you purchase your AP's, they will not tell you about it. In fact, when we went, we printed out the information from the French website - there was then no issue.

Hi,
Thank you so much, thats great, i will really enjoy my trip this week, and we have booked for christmas, so so much saving, is it true that disney give other holders extra months if they sponsor other people, if you want i could put you down as a sponser and get you extra months on your pass, (just for being so helpful)

Thank you for the very kind offer. Sadly, it cannot be done within 2 months of renewing (we only renewed 4 weeks ago). But what you could do for us is have a fantastic time and spread a little more magic to other guests while you are there. I look forward to hearing about your time.

Hi again,
Well back from our trip, which was great and we even had nice weather for most of it! We got all 4 annual passes (dream) with the 2 children's ones free, couldn't use any other offers with it (10% off with existing sponsor) and also they wouldn't give us any discount for the park tickets from the hotel package we had booked first, even though we got the passes on the first day as soon as we went to the park.
I have been trying to book the Disneyland hotel for Christmas and apart from the prices being different from the website, I was told there was no discount available, I did say that for the dream passport it should be valid for 10% off all year round and the operator agreed then told me she thought this meant that all rooms available for pass holders must of already been booked! So I am a bit disappointed as we want to stay but obviously want to make the most of the annual passes and get our discount.
Has anyone else ever had this problem or am I just unlucky? I aim to phone back later and try again to see if I get the same info.

Welcome back Tim. The DLH is the one exception, they do not often give out discounts (they have a very small allotment and Xmas is the DLH's busiest time). Try the Hotel NY instead, to me it's a better hotel, and much easier to get the discounts at.

Hi Davewasbaloo,
I have called again regarding the Hotel New York (we really liked it there before) and was told the annual pass discounts haven't been released yet, but was given the room only price, the thing being as they are currently running the offer on for 3 nights/4days for the price of 2 nights/3 days and kids go free on the standard packages it works out cheaper than the room only deal (even taking off another 10%) so it is looking likely that this year with all the extra promotions it's cheaper to just take a package than to use the ap discount.
We will still get to save money on all food, drinks, strollers and merchandise and in the future when all these offers have stopped maybe also on hotel stays, so we are still glad we got them!
Thanks for everyone who has given me some advice so far, all appreciated!

This is why we have now started staying at the Holiday Inn and the Marriott. They offer better value accommodation for AP holders IMHO.
Also, if you have your heart set on Disney hotels, check out Expedia - they offer room only.

I purchased my annual passport last week. It saved me a lot of money on my 7 day holiday.
One warning which me and my friends didn't know about before arrival is that there is a law in France which means under 18s need parent authorization to sign a contract, including the passport. So if your 17 and going with friends 18 or over take a copy of a parents passport/drivers licence and a small signed paragraph from a parent explaining that you have permission to purchase the passport.
Sorry if that has already been mentioned somewhere before, its just a very annoying problem if your in that situation.

It depends Reibi. The Fantasy pass is 1 euro more than a 3 day hopper. A Dream is 51 euros more. But with the free aperetifs, the 20% merchandise, free pushchair (which we make use of) and other perks, we find it makes sense if going for 4+ days a year. But if you do not buy much in the shops and only eat at counter services, then probably 7+ days a year.

Hi folks
New to this Forum, heading off to Disneyland on Tuesday. I have a 3 day hopper ticket - can this be exchanged for an Annual Pass and would I be able to use the privilages right away? Also, do they take the cost of the 3 day hopper off the AP?
I notice that it cannot be used until after the third day, which is ok since we have 3 day passes, but can we use it immediately to get discounts in restaurants and shops?
We are planning to go to the Parks next Tuesday and Wednesday (31/7 & 1/8), then head to our campsite further north for 12 nights, during which time we will return for the last day. I suppose if the discounts cannot be used on 31/7 or 1/8 they could be used on this third visit, but it would hardly be worth updating.
I hope I have made sense, basically I would like to upgrade one of our tickets and be able to get discount on shopping and meals for the whole group during our 3 days in the park.
Thanks for any clarification! :D

Welcome to the forum!
You can only upgrade 1 Day/1 Park and 1 Day Hopper tickets, sorry.
But if you still buy a Francilien, then the discounts can be used as soon as you get the AP. For the Fantasy and Dream, there's no "can't be used second and third days" rule.
Hope that helps. :wink:

Thanks Baloo!
So, if I understand you correctly, the Francilien pass can be used from day 1 to get discounts, while the other 2 types cannot be used until the 4th day after purchasing?
With the Francilien only giving discount to restaurants and not shops, it's hardly worthwhile. We would have to spend £600 on food before making any sort of saving! :?

All the APs can be used for discounts from the moment you buy them, but the Francilien has a rule which means you can't use it for park entry on the two days following its purchase.
So yeah, if you've already got park hoppers and don't need to AP for entry, it'll be hard to make any savings with the discounts. :wink:

Hi,
Was in Dlrp 21-28 july, had a wonderfull time, we got there late around 7.40 and bought our anuael pass at the side ticket/information booth. the kind castmember at the counter informed us that we could get five yearly passes for the price of four.
Great deal, as my friend is going along with us during christmas, so i asked him how i claim the temp pass for the plastic year pass, he told me the form was online.
I have searched through the whole uk site, its even difficult to get information on the year pass through the uk site.
I was wondering could anyone point me in the right direction on how i get the form to exchange the temp ticket to the plastic anuael pass.. it expires in sept...
many thanks

Quote from: "Nicholas-c"Just one question, when i get my annual pass in august at Disney, how do you work it? do i show it to the cast member or just put it in the ticket machine ? because it has your photo on so :SAPs are just meant to be inserted into the ticket validating machines at the entrance gates. Here are some details in addition:
When you enter the park for the first time a day, the cast member which is locked inside the machine will greet you with a warm "Welcome!" (maybe it's just a computer voice or a talking box of magic, we didn't found out yet ;)
When you re-enter the park later or hop over to the other park, there's no more "welcome" (as you already finished the warm-up phase), but instead the coloured lights on top of the machine will indicate that you're using your AP for another time this day. This will usually cause a cast member to friendly have a quick look at your AP and then into your face to validate that it's really you.
They obviously want to prevent APs given to other people through the fences.
It also CAN happen if you re-enter quickly (like after forgetting something at the car and getting back after just a few minutes) that the gate won't open. Red light flashing. But don't panic, the cast member will open the gate for you after a quick identity check.
Oliver ••••
P.S.: Should you come with a stroller or wheelchair, a CM will let you enter through the big gate door (in-between of the automatic turnstiles). CM will either put the AP in the machine for you or just manually validate yaour entrance.
Same applies if you enter through Salon Mickey (being a Shareholders Club member). There is no machinery at all. Cast members will take your AP for discrete validating and bring it back to your table then :)

Quote from: "seanmartina"I was wondering could anyone point me in the right direction on how i get the form to exchange the temp ticket to the plastic anuael pass.. it expires in sept...Hmh. The only way I know about for getting the plastic card is presenting yourself at the Annual Passport Office (because they need your face for a while, stamping it to the plastic card ;))) By the way, why do you still have a temporary passport since last September?! You should have it been plastifyed at the AP Office upon your first visit already...
I wonder if there is a speciality I might not know about. Getting information from the CM referring to online forms sounds quite useless to me. You were there in person, not virtually! ;)
The 5-for-4 offer seems to be the usual family discount: 5 APs being bought at the same time for the same family (same home address) will get a 20% discount on the total sum (= 1 AP for free). As far as I know you can't make up the 5th AP later. This is the french original text (for Fantasy, but it's the same for a Dream AP):
Quote from: "http://www.disneylandparis.com/fr/passeport_annuel/offres/fantasy.htm"Pour l'achat simultané de 5 Passeports Annuels Fantasy* et plus pour une même famille (même adresse), bénéficiez de 20% de réduction sur le montant total de l'achat (soit 103€ par Passeport Annuel au lieu de 129€).Personally I think you cannot take advantage of that offer.
* Offre non cumulable et valable uniquement au Bureau Passeport Annuel et aux guichets d'entrée des Parcs Disney®, par correspondance et par téléphone au N° Indigo 0825 825 100 (0.15€ TTC/ MN)
BUT I suggest to contact Disney by e-mail: DLP.guest.communication@disney.com – they will kindly answer all of your questions, and if there's an online form, they'd probably send it (or the link) to you. I learned that it's always worth to kindly ask what you plan to do. So if you were told you can easily get "the 5th AP for your family for free", just ask them how to handle it.
Remember: your friend has to be a family member, living at the same address, otherwise there won't be any discount at all. But of course he can be a nephew or whatever living at your house, even if there's still his old home address in the passport. hint, hint. ;)))
Best of luck!

if you got 12 months added on your AP for sponsoring someone -- is it possible to get even more free months with the "fresh" sponsoring form, or is the freely renewed AP (€0,00 on it) excluded from sponsoring offers for any reason?

Hey seanmartina,
okay, I can see clearly now, but still don't understand why you booked an AP without planning to be at the resort..? But anyway, just e-mail the Cast, they'll help you if ever they can ;)
Btw: it should always possible to get the 'real' AP by postal order, too. Especially when the AP already has been paid. They just need a photo and a copy of your ID/passport then (to confirm the photo really shows yourself). I am quite sure they don't need a special form then. For me it worked well that way, both for "sponsored renewal" and either "usual renewal" (with payment). It just takes about 2 weeks.

Hi Cubitus
The reason i got the ticket is becuase we bought 4 for the 4 of us who were there, but when you buy 4 you get a 5th one free, and as i know somebody who is going at christmas we thought why not.

Quote from: "pink"can they be bought online or post ect whenever or do the have to be bought and hen collected by a certain date?Both. You can order them by letter or phone, will receive a temporary passport then which should work for hotel bookings and entering the park. It should be exchanged to a permanent AP (with photo) on your first visit then.
The »online booking site (//http://booking.disneylandparis.com/wts/newdlp/jsp/accueil.jsp), however, won't list APs unless you're from France. You can try to book APs for the UK using »this tweaked link (//http://booking.disneylandparis.com/wts/newdlp/jsp/ticksel.jsp?pays=GB&lang=en&compte=wts1fl21&ticket=AP) (just choose the AP you want, the no. of adults/kids and click 'continuer' twice, the user interface will remain french), but I'm not giving any guarantees. I tried to handle an order just to the step of payment (final checkbox to click is "J´ai lu et approuvé les conditions de vente." - "I read and understood the »conditions of use (//http://www.disneylandparis.com/uk/search/conditions_of_use/)") and to give your credit card details.
Going this way is a little bit experimental, but hey: for which reasons you should be able to buy APs in France only?
I think it would be interesting for us all to know if this way of getting APs outside France will work. So if someone tries it, please let us know about the results :)

I'm afraid the free kids deal for APs ends in September, and you cannot get an AP for under 3s, even if they turn three during the year.

Title: ANNUAL PASS

We are planning to go to DLP March next year with my 5 year old grandaughter. Have booked Holiday Inn for 4 nights. I'm interested in an Annual Pass as I reckon she'll want to return again (and again!). The Francilien pass - could I buy now (probably by phone) and get hers for free and use next year? Or can we only acutally buy onsite?

As you have booked your hotel and everything is fine I'd usually say get your passports onsite.
As the free AP for under 7's offer might not be extended (I think if it's a special 15th anniversary thing it should be offered again until next March) you might want to get the APs right now, even if you waste a good part of their validity time period then...
On the phone it CAN happen that CM tells you it's not possible to buy in advance, but in fact it is, there are several (french) order forms etc. So you might need to friendly insist on it :) Keep us posted!
Oh and keep in mind that there are lots of block-out days in march (8, 9, 15, 16, 22-24) and april (11-20). More than for the Fantasy AP. And I still don't know how they handle the blocking of day 2 and 3 if you manage to buy it in advance. Should they send you a temporary one, then "day 1" could be the day you get there, which would be bad news for 2 days of your stay).
... hmmh, think, think... after all I guess they in fact would act senseless sending around the Francilien APs, as the day2/3 restriction could be bypassed that way... But in fact I know about a paper brochure with an order form where you just have to tick 'Francilien' and can write the date as of the AP should be valid (within 1 month and before november 9). Should be a clear proof of viability then...

Hi There,
Suggestion is that the free AP for under 7 has been extended to - at least Jan 2008.
See -> http://www.disneyland15.com/?r=offers&l ... rue#offers (http://www.disneyland15.com/?r=offers&l=fr&c=fr&z=idf&offerId=3&skipIntro=true#offers)
Point 1 mentions January 2008.
A Google translation of Point 1 gives:
1) Valid offer on request in certain tickettings and with the counters at the entry of the Disney Parks, the 06 Janiver 2008 included. For the purchase of an Annual Passport, a free Annual Passport of the same category will be offered for a child of less than 7 years, on justification of the age of the child (piêce of identity or family record book) and for the same dates of validaté as the bought Annual Passport. Noncumulable offer with other offers or reduction. The passport obtained within the framework of this offer is neither exchangeable nor refundable.
Regards

There are usual references for kids' tickets to be "3-11 years", and in the offer, it's not "3-6" but "under 7". Could always be worth to be a bit perky and take the offer literally :)

Well it's clearly stated on the page you mentioned, and another time on this »non-flash page (//http://idf-offres.disneylandparis.fr/passeport-annuel/non-adherents/k7.xhtml) (also french). The latter does not confuse by mixing 2 independent offers (on the flash page theres the under 7 offer (red) and the (general) AP Francilien offer (blue) which are not connected).
The deadline (Jan 6, 2008) is printed twice there, plus the statement that the "under 7" offer is valid for every type of AP (just the same that was bought by an adult). I can confirm that this is really what is written there *lol*
The offers is still not mentioned on the UK site, but it's available for everyone ("accesible à tous" in french), thus not limited to residents of France or whatever.

Ah ha, thank you Cubitus.
When I first stumbled across this information, thanks to a post over on DISBoards, the link that I found to the page on the official (main) Disneyland site still listed the September end date.
Hence, this seems to be a fairly new extension, and given I was seeing different end dates I was concerned that I was mis-understanding the Jan date.
Thanks

Quote from: "pink"i thought it was a free child ap as in under 11Nope, there was never such a thing... Only offer that comes close is 'play & stay free' for under 12, but this is just available for a very limited time (Jan 6-Mar 19 2008) and only for booking a package (hotel+tickets) which will never apply to us AP holders.
Quoteand is it confirmed that it sextended as my dd will turn 3 in octYeah, definitely!
So your son will definitely not get the free AP anyway; you could just apply sponsoring or shareholder discount to your son's AP and any other you need (except that one you'll get your daughter's free AP for). If you need at least 4 more, there's also the family/group discount.
If your DD turns 3 in Oct (2007?) just go after that date and you'll be fine I guess. Should you plan to stay in Disney hotels you might even get the APs in advance to benefit from hotel discounts.
Cheers!

thanks for clearing that up i was just sure it was buy an adult get a child free and asumed that was any child :roll: :oops:
ok so with the passes i will need 3 adult and 2 kids [one 3 in oct 07] how do i go about the sponcer thing and how and when do i get them in advance? i need to wait to get hers but at the same time need to buy them asap really i think to get the room discount as we want to go 1-2 weeks before xmas so they are prob booked up already for the discounted rooms?
also we decided to get the passes as we thought we would benifit from the discounts more than anything how do you get them? just show your card when paying? also we have decided to do florida for 2-3 weeks next summer so dont think we will get back to dlrp within the year to use our passes again so do you think it would still be worth us getting the passes? as its not certain we would get a cheaper hotel room either at late notice like this :? would we be better trying to get a deal at an agent if thats possible? for the package :?

Hey pink,
hmmmh, if you won't come back during the 12 months it just depends on how long you stay and how much you plan to spend on restaurants and shops (the discounts there will be applied by just showing the AP).
For a 2 or 3 day stay I'd say just do the packages and you're comfortably fine.
For a longer stay or with the chance of coming back next year I'd say get APs. You'd need at least one AP at booking time already (just request the AP brochure at disneylandparis.com - easiest way). You could get the other APs that way, too, or directly at the resort (thus not "losing" 1 or 2 months of validity which is only important if you revisit the next xmas season).
Your daughter will be free either way (AP or package). And I have no idea if there will be nice hotel discount offers before xmas.
The sponsoring thing just works with APs you get directly on site: just show the 10% coupon you can receive from any AP holder. One month after getting your own APs you could sponsor friends, resulting in extended validity for your APs.
Hope I have answered everything...

Dear All
I have decided to be 'guinea pig' and attempt to purchase two 'francilien' passports from here in the UK. Although it listed American Express as acceptable, I did have trouble with it and backtracked and used my Mastercard, which seems to have worked. I have even received the confirmation email and so I'll just wait to see if they arrive by post?
Hopeful,
Lynne

Well, I ordered the Francilien passports online on Wednesday afternoon and I have my 'temporary' annual passports in my hand this morning!
Great service, but if I still have to go and get my photographs taken etc once I get to the park, then I don't really see the advantage of purchasing online, except possibly if you get a better exchange rate, and I think I probably have as the Pound is strong at the moment.
Anyway, it works!

We only had to pay for one child as we got one free with each paying adult for the 15th anniversary. We purchased temporary tickets outside the park and had to go to the passport office inside the park before 7pm to covert them to annual tickets. All in all a very easy process.

- buy a "normal" Ticket (Hopper or not) at the booths or at all the other vending points and later change this to a Annual Passport (at the AP Office). The price for one day will be deducted from the AP price. The Hopper ticket remains valid for the unused days (validity 1 year)
- buy a "temporary AP" at any of the ticket booths (not every CM seems to know this, but it's true)
The "kids for free" offer has been prolonged to at least 4 april 2008!

I can confirm that every CM doesnt seem to know. Before we bought the tkts as we had a lunch apointment I asked at the booth what I had to do and was told to buy a hopper and then take it to the AP and buy a pass. When we returned to the booth after lunch (different cm) she sold us the AP and issued a temp admission tkt to be converted at the AP office before 7pm

If I:

The francilian passport canno't be used the second and the third days you change your temporary pass into a pemanent one in the PA office. Sorry :( It would be unfair to offer a pass for only 90 euros € whereas others pay 130 euros for it with few more advantages.
Other solution take a fantasy pass.

I have a few questions if anyone can help me out.
Does the discount in restraunts work for the entire party, ie for a bill for 15 people will I get the discount on the entire bill?
Would it be possible to get the free annual pass for my niece who does not have the same surname as me?
Cheers

Ok
Im visting in September and have already booked a hotel package.
Im thinking of buying a Dream AP on our last day there to use in the next 12 months.
BUT do you get AP discounts on all Disney hotels (i want to stay in the DLH next time) plus if i buy in September my daughter doesnt turn 3 till 4 weeks later will i be able to get her a AP or will i have to go back and purchase hers when she is 3?
Im new to this whole AP thing sorry, also can you book online? As i was thinking if getting our passports that way instead.

Hi
I am planning to buy 6 annual passes for me and my family, can anyone tell me if i do this over the phone will i be able to speak to someone in english and will i be able to get a family discount over the phone.
I am planning on visiting on the 30th March does anyone know if this is enough time to receive the temporary passes in the post before we travel.
The reason I am thinking of doing this over the phone is because my current 6 year old will turn 7 on the 28th March and we would miss her free AP by 2 days.
Is disney strict on the age restriction for the free AP or would i need to try to get her it before the 28th.
Also, I have two childrenwho has a different surname to me (as i have remarried) only will i need to prove iaddress, or do they ask for proof that we all live in the same household?
Thanks very much in advance

Hi,
I was just looking for a bit of info on the Annual Passports as i didnt even know they existed until today.
I have booked accommodation near DLP on 2nd July for 2 nights and we are looking into the best deal for buying tickets and so far the AP seems to be the best.
I am travelling with my husband and two boys aged 7 and 3&1/2(he will be 4 the end of July) and also two friends who have 3 girls, twins aged 5 and a baby aged 18 months.
What would be the best way or cheapest way to buy the AP's, as a group or as two seperate families or are there discounts for this way? And should we try book online before we go? We are actually going to a keycamp only 1 hour drive from dlp for 12 days beforehand and finishing off our trip here so it would be possible to get them over there before the 2nd July.
Also whats the deal if you have a sponsor, how do you buy tickets then? I might know someone whos a sponsor!
Sorry bout all the questions but it would be good to cut the cost down in some way!
Thanks
Sharon

I dont know if the offer is still running, but when we went last summer, all children under 7 along with a paying adult got the annual pass for free, so 129 euro for adult and child under 7, the family pack works out at 109 euro per person thats 2 adults and 2 children
hope that helps
and you can use the fantasy pass on the same day, buy at the gates, your given a temp pass, to exchange for the annual pass in the parc

i would give them a ring and see what they say.
When i got my AP done mid-summer it took about 1 hour because there was alot of people.
All you have to do once its your turn is, name, address, phone number and photo. wait about 2 seconds and its done !

I have a question regarding the AP - are the discounts still interesting if you're going with people who don't have one? I'm thinking of getting one when I go in August, because I'm probably going back in October or November with some friends - but they won't have the AP. So I guess I would need to book the room only for all of us, and get their tickets separately? Is that better value than just getting the full package?

I have a question too, I was hoping to buy Shares in Dlrp before my trip in Dec, so we can purchase AP while we are there... but I've just read that the shareholder and up to 6 members of thier family can get 15% off AP, well my and my bf who I always travel to Disneyland with, aren't married and don't have the same name, although he pretty much lives with me and my family (not "officially" though) so where would we stand on this? I dont want to have to buy two lots of shares, I was only hoping to buy the min and pay the 30 euro charge this year, and improve my stock next year 8)

The other option (which would be cheaper) is to be sponsored for the AP.
The shares are quite pricey now, so by the time you have got your shares, paid the commision to your broker and the club fee you would have paid more than the discount!
Let me know if you would like sponsorship.
However, the answer to your question is that everybody should be at the same address.

Sponsorship gives 10% off AP, however being a shareholder is cool, but not as economical.
Although you do get 10% off in Disney Store UK
And, yes it is fraud!!!

The sponsor will (if the parrainage offer is still available) get 1 free annual pass if he or she sponsors 3 new people.
The person being sponsored gets 10% discount. The sponsor completes a form which is returned by the person being sponsored after they have bought their passports.
However, I am happy to sponsor regardless of how many people need tickets.
If the person being sponsored has an opportunity to return the form, great. If not then at least more people enjoy the magic!!!

Hello everybody,
i got an email a few days ago, that i can buy up to 5 Hoppertickets for friends for 15 Euro each one. I only have to go to the cash point at the entrance of one of the parks and show my Annual Pass aaaaaaaand the flyer which is inside of the last envie+. The problem is that i got no envie+ now and we have booked the hotel for monday the 21st.
My question is, does anyone know if they accept the printed email? I want to invite a special friend and i don´t know if i should ask him to come with us because i don´t know if they accept the printed mail. I called the hotline but they did not get transfered me to the passport office.
Thank you and regards

Is your Annual pass due to expire soon? If so, the free 6 months is to renew your AP, and get effectively 18 months for the price of 12. So you still pay full price for a years AP, but get 18 months validity on it.

This has probably been discussed before but i was just wondering. I was just in dlrp at the beginning of july and we purchased the francillien passport. We are hoping to go back at the end of september with my sister and her husband and two year old, can we sponsor her to get the fantasy passport and if so do you have to fill out the form before you go?
I know this is off topic of annual passports but any suggestions on cheap transport from beauvais airport?

Hi,
Yes, you can sponsor you sister for her annual passes with your annual pass details (so long as you have had your passes for more than one month). On the French version of the Disney website, you'll find the information on sponsorship, and the form to download (its called parrainage). If you look on this thread, GrandiJoos has posted a link to the sponsorship form -
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4202 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4202%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I also have had the current sponsorship form scanned and sent to me, so if you have any problems downloading it, I can email it to you as an attachment. Just let me know.
I believe rstransports do private transfers from Beauvais - might be worthwhile contacting them to get a price?

I believe rstransports do private transfers from Beauvais - might be worthwhile contacting them to get a price?

Thats great, thanks for your help.
Just another quick question, does the form have to be sent to the passport office before we go or will my sister have to bring it with her on the day?
Thanks again

You fill in the form as the sponsor, and your sister takes it with her on the day she's buying her annual pass(es). She has to show your sponsor form to the cashier to be able to get the 10% off the price, and also so that your sponsor form can be stamped by the cashier to show you've sponsored someone.

the people you are sponsoring take a form with them when they buy their passes. The form is then endorsed by Disney and your friends then return the form to you which you take in to the passport office when your ap runs out

Hi! I'm a disney shareholder and just back from DLRP. We got 15% off of our annual passes and also 15% off at the restaurants and shops at Disney! When I purchased my annual pass I also got a voucher book with 20% off the restaurants in Disney Village! We saved a great deal of money on this trip with my shareholders card as I also got 10% off our Disney hotel by giving them my shareholder number.
Hope this helps - I would definately recommend the shares!

We are all off to dlrp on Saturday morning - 12 of us age 3 - 47!
My family & I have been AP holders in the past but this time as we have a group booking deal we didn't renew.
We'll be there for 5 days and as the package includes the hopper passes, my plan is something like this:
Day 1. Buy an AP for me and get a free under 7s AP for one of the children.
On our return, sell the unused hopper passes (4 days x 1 child + 1 adult) on Ebay to recoup some of the costs.
Would anyone be willing to email me a sponsorship form ?
- slightly Off Topic but does anyone know if AP holders get the Extra Magic hours ?

I would be happy to sponser you, however you may find that the passes expire on the last day of your holiday, so you may not be able to sell them on ebay.
Dream passport holders can use magic hours, all other passports can only be used for emh if you are staying in a disney hotel (you must have your hotel id card)

Do you know whether I can combine the sponsorship discount with the free child's AP ?? The website seems to say not (if my French is up to scratch) but wasn't sure whether this is enforced/known about by the CMs.

No, you definitely can't combine the 2 (I tried :-" ).
What you can do though, is do your annual pass purchases in 2 separate transactions.
Do you only need one AP and one childs free, or are you buying more APs at the same time?
If so, you do your kids one(s) free purchase first.
Then, as a completely separate transaction, you can buy other APs and get the 10% discount on each of those with the sponsorship you've been offered by ford perfect.
Does that make sense?

Yes, it was available in June! From what I read here in the forums they don't always mention the discount, you specifically have to ask for it. In my opinion this is no good policy or maybe the fault of the CM that happens to be at work when you are there.
If you paid APs for 3 (!) kids under 7 I would write a letter to DLRP and tell them about that, because that really is not fair. Maybe they offer you some "compensation".

I had to ask at the AP office for the free childs pass, but you're certainly entitled to email DLRP now and query why you weren't offered the kids free passes in June.
Did you pay full price for them all, or did you use sponsorship discount?

2.) If only one person owns a AP (Dream), can he book the room for the whole family with discount?
3.) If only one person owns a AP (Dream), can he pay the bill in the restaurant for all four with discount?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Mobi,
APs are the same size as park tickets, and work just fine in fastpass machines :D
Yes, with one Dream AP, the Dream AP holder can book the whole family into onsite rooms (up to 2 rooms per booking).
And yes, with one Dream AP, the Dream AP holder can get the 10% restaurant discount for the whole parties bill.
Remember to use that Dream AP for all your souvenir shopping too - thats a 20% saving on almost everything you buy, almost everywhere in DLRP and the Village that you buy it!

Hi everyone.
Recently I received an Annual Passport renewal letter which asked that I renew in July to gain 6 extra months free.
Then I received another letter which differs slightly : it seems to offer the 18 months for the price of 12 again but without the stipulation that we renew in July. The only requirement seems to be that our passports expire by the end of July.
We are booked to go 31/8 so I was hoping to use this then.
Anybody know anything about this second offer ?
thanks!

How do the annual passports run in terms of dates?
I'm going 14th September, and planning on getting a pass on my first day.
Now, I tend to book for a week in March around my birthday, and a week in mid-September.
What I mean to say is, would the annual pass expire on the 13th September, or do they go to the end of the month? I'm just thinking about booking next September's holiday with the AP discount.

The pass would expire the day you bought it, but a year later, for example, if you bought your pass today (29th July) it would expire the 29th july 2009

So how do you go about renewing the pass, and booking a holiday with discounts if you're wanting to book the same week again?
For example, I'm there 14th - 19th September.
How am I fixed if I want to book the exact same week in 2009?

Thats still possible - I've done it myself this year. I have a Dream AP, and it expires on 1/10/08. I've booked the Santa Fe with a Dream AP discount for 6th to 8th October 2008. I have been advised by the CM on the phone when I booked this that I will have to show my renewed Dream annual pass at check-in, otherwise I will be charged full price for the room.
I am intending posting off for my extension to my current Dream AP, as I will have 3 sponsors before the expiry date on it.
You can renew your annual pass by post as well, within 30 days of the original expiry date.

Hi,
It means I'll be sending off my annual pass, my 3 sponsored stamps, and a letter, to the Annual Pass office at DLRP, through the post, asking them to extend my existing pass for free for another 12 months. As I understand it, this can't be done more than 30 days in advance of the expiry date on my pass. It doesn't have to be done in person, just as buying a renewal pass can also be done through the post.

Okay, these are the general conditions for sponsorship benefits on annual passes.
When you buy your own annual pass, once you have had it for more than one month, you can sponsor other people (friends, family, anyone you know really) when they buy their annual passes. You give them your sponsorship details (you can download the sponsor form from the French Disney site) and they use your sponsorship to get 10% off the cost of their annual pass. DLRP stamp your sponsor form when a new pass is bought using your sponsorship.
Once you have 3 sponsor stamps (these have to be collected within 12 months of you originally buying your own annual pass) you are eligible to extend your existing annual pass for free, for another 12 months, from the original expiry date of your pass.
Thats the basics.

Hello again!
Thanks Elaine for your advice.
I'm wondering if we should be sponsored this time around to get our 10% off. It'll be new to me. Can you just do it when you get to the AP Bureau? - with the sponsor's details.? And would all 6 of us benefit? Also do you still get the family discount? (It's just with fuel and energy bills going up - you all get the drift!)

If you are going more than once it is worth getting an AP and definately worth getting sponsored.
(PM me if you would like me to sponsor you!)
You only get one discount, so either family or sponsors discount, so you will need to decide if it is economical.
Also, what type of AP did you want to buy?

Hi thanks Ford Prefect. I'll have to figure this one out. Reading the small print on my letter though I have just discovered - " Offer may not be combined with other offers or discounts except the Family Discount". Which must mean I can't be sponsored!? Anyway thanks to the email address from Elaine I've just had an email from Disney saying that we have to renew by 10/8 by post if we want to take advantage of the 6 extra free months. So I'm in a bit of a panic now as I've never done anything like this by post before to Disney. I don't trust the postal system all that much. Yikes!

Hi thanks Ford Prefect. Ours are the Dream Passports. I'll have to figure this one out. Reading the small print on my letter though I have just discovered - " Offer may not be combined with other offers or discounts except the Family Discount". Which must mean I can't be sponsored!? Anyway thanks to the email address from Elaine I've just had an email from Disney saying that we have to renew by 10/8 by post if we want to take advantage of the 6 extra free months. So I'm in a bit of a panic now as I've never done anything like this by post before to Disney. I don't trust the postal system all that much. Yikes!

I have not had a problem with posting things to and receiving things from DLP.

Never posted anything to Disneyland Paris, but I've had stuff from them, and sent postcards from there. Also posted lots of stuff overseas for Ebay and rarely have a problem, I shouldn't worry.

Alison you can always send your letter to DLRP registered post - it won't cost much more than normal postage to France, and you might consider it worth the extra.

Today I bit the bullet and rang the AP Bureau. They told me that to get that extra 6 months free it had to run consecutively from the date our last AP expired(17/7). Still a bargain! They also offered to do it over the phone there and then with the Family Discount. So that's what I did - and they say they'll take about 10 days to arrive. Goody!

I have a question regarding the annual passports...
I'm going in a couple of weeks ( :D/ so happy, I can't wait), then I'll be going back most likely beginning of October, and then again beginning of December... So for me a AP makes perfect sense!
The problem is I'm going with different people each time, none of which have AP and most of them won't be interesting in getting them anyway - so most likely I'd be the only one with a pass.
So assuming I book the room only with the AP discount, and get them their park tickets with the discount - if I'm the only one with the pass, can everyone enjoy the extra magic hours?? And do you think that would come out cheaper than having no pass and just booking the bella notte package each time?

If I understand the question right :wink: and there's a chance I haven't :roll: :wink:
If the room you are booking for them is a Disney room booked through Disney then they will get EMH's as the tickets will be part of the package........
No Disney room and no AP, no EMH's........

Hi,
I don't know what the "Bella Notte package" is I'm afraid, but for you especially, taking 3 trips within such a short time, an AP sounds like its definitely the way to go.
If you use your AP to book onsite Disney room only, then all the members of your party benefit from Extra Magic Hours, as its the hotel you stay at which gives you access to EMH (Dream AP holders can use this also, regardless of which hotel they are staying at, onsite or offsite). The only problem with this is the first morning - if you have to buy park tickets for your friends at the gates of DLRP, you will probably not be able to buy them as early as 8am, when EMH begins.

It would be so much easier if all my friends had an AP....
Elaine, the bella notte package is the standard 1 night / 2 days package
If I get the room only and buy the tickets separately, how will they know we're staying at a disney hotel? (when we're going for the EMH)? And would that be cheaper than the normal package?

I don't know if it would be cheaper than a normal package, I would suspect not to be honest. You'll have to crunch the numbers. You can phone Disney now for your upcoming October trip, say you have an AP (tell them if its Dream or Fantasy) then you can get a price for room only for however many members of your party are going with you. Then you can check the official Disneyland Paris site for ticket only prices, and then work out how much it would be with your AP discount buying the tickets.
However, the other question - they will know if you're all staying at a Disney hotel, because when you check in, you get a hotel ID card. This states the surname of the booker of the room (ie you) but also states how many guests are booked into the room. So for EMH, you present this at the security gates, with all the members of your party there, to get past security. Then you will need your AP, and your friends will need their park tickets, to get through the turnstiles and into the park.

Hi all
I'm a newbie and was wondering if anyone can tell me the best option on buying tickets. We are going to Paris (staying about 15 mins from DLP)for a week in September and plan to spend a few days in Paris sightseeing as well as going as much as possible to DLP. There are 4 adults and 3 children under 7 years old.
Is it cheaper to buy a 4 day pass (on offer as 3 day price) or buy an annual pass. If the latter, what type of annual pass. I have also read somewhere that there is an offer for children under 7 and a free annual pass.
Sorry if you have already debated this somewhere!
Thanks

Hi,
There are 3 kinds of annual pass.
Francillien - which is currently 89 euros (so quite a bit cheaper than a 3-day hopper pass with one extra day free). You can't use the Francillien on the 2 and 3rd day after you've bought it, and it has 60ish blackout days on it, when you can't use it as a park ticket. I'll try and find the blackout days link for you. But that pass might work for you, as you're visiting Paris and surroundings as well during your trip.
Fantasy Pass - currently 129 euros (so about the same price as a 3-day hopper pass). This has 30ish blackout days on it, but can be used straightaway and on consecutive days once you've bought it (as long as they are not blackout days). Fantasy pass gives you some discounts as well.
Dream Pass - currently 179 euros. There are no blackout days on a Dream Pass, and you get a load of restaurant and shopping discounts with the Dream Pass.
Until 7th November 2008, there is also the childs free annual pass offer. When you buy an adult annual pass (of any type) you can get a childs pass of the same type, free. The child has to be aged between 3 and 6 years old (its not available for under-3s as they don't require a park ticket anyway, and its not valid for any child aged 7 or over). You must provide proof of age for the childs pass (I used my daughters passport).

Just enjoy yourselves at DLRP :D/ ! One word of warning though - those annual passes, once you get your mitts on them, have an irritating way of making you go back to DLRP again and again, to get the most out of the passes :-" .
I've mentioned the sponsorship on this other thread -

You can't combine getting sponsorship to buy your annual pass with the childs free pass offer. Also, if one of your children is already 7, you can't get a free pass for that child - but you can for the 3-year old.

Pinkprincess, just remember to ask for the under 7 free ap offer at the ticket desk cos we made this mistake when buying them (we actually didnt know about offer) at the time. We were raging and i got onto disney by email when we got home.
They apologised but said its an offer that has to be asked for "upon demand". We were very disappointed because we were a group of 4 adults and 5 children so it would have saved us a lot of money. We are going back in september and as a gesture of goodwill they said they have contacted the hotel we are staying in and asked them to "look after us", whatever that means.

Hi mr B,
I can't help with the postal forms, sorry.
But I wondered if you were aware that the temporary Annual Passes you will get sent by post have to activated (ie everyone you have bought APs for postally have to go in person to DLRP) within 30 days of you getting the temporary Passes? It really isn't a hassle or a time-consuming process to just get them in person at DLRP, so I don't really think there is any advantage to getting a posted temporary pass.

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for this - I wasn't aware of that but thanks :-)
I just wanted the easiest way possible to get them (2 adults / 2 children) ;-)
I thought it would be easier to get them before and then book my hotel with the AP discount applied etc.
But it sounds as if it would be easier to get them when we arrive at the gates. Just to confirm that Dream Pass APs have no restrictions on use straight after purchase do they ?
Many thanks for your help.

Thats right, Dream Passes have no restriction dates at all.
You need a permanent pass also to be able to book rooms at the AP rate, so your temporary posted passes wouldn't work for that.

Thats it Mr B,
A lot of people find it more financially advantageous to book an offsite hotel for the visit where you intend buying your annual passes. After you have your annual pass, you can then use it to get AP room discount at onsite hotels, for future visits.

Hi Mr B
When do you plan to travel to DLRP?
If it is before Novemeber are you aware that if you are sponsored by an existing AP holder you get a 10% reduction on the cost? You just have to take a form with you and get it stamped and return it to your sponsor to get the discount.I would be happy to sponsor you as I get an extension to my AP when I sponsor three new members so let me know and I will mail you the form (I got the form thanks to Elaine who is an absolute mine of info regarding AP's!
Hope to hear from you

Is it also still that way, that when you re-new you pass yourself, you get the extra 6 monhts?
My boyfriend's pass will expire in 3 months :(
And seems I just can't find 3 people before November who wanna buy one with the 10% reduction.
So we're thinking about re-newing it.
But twice, (for me too) quite expensive :-s
So 6 extra months is quite nice then too hehe.

You should get a letter from DLRP about a month before your pass expires, offering you the option to renew it and get an extra 6 months free on it.

Hi Daisy.
You can call at the ticket office at the front of the park and tell them you want to buy an annual passport,they give you a pass to enter the park and go to the annual passport office to arrange your passport.I think you pay in full at the front office,but I am not certain about this.
If you get a sponsor, you get a 10% reduction on your ticket and the sponsor gets benefits according to the number of people he sponsors.If you want a sponsor I would be happy to supply you with the relevant form.
I'm sure Elaine will see this thread and correct any mistakes I have made!Hope to hear from you.
regards
Peter

I think you have it spot on Peter :D .
You can also, if you want to, pay for a one-day ticket before you enter the park, then exchange that for an annual pass at the Annual Pass office inside the park. You would pay the 179 euros, minus the cost of your one-day ticket.
If you're being sponsored, you can get the 10% discount and the cost of your one-day ticket deducted from the 179 euros cost of a Dream AP.

Daisy do you already have an annual pass, or are you buying one in October? If you are buying one in October, you can't start sponsoring on that pass until you have had it for one month (so that would be November).
Its also true, that if anyone has held an annual pass of any description within the previous 2 years, they can't get the 10% sponsor discount when they go to buy a new annual pass. I believe the idea behind this is that the 10% discount is for brand new annual pass holders only, not repeat pass purchasers.
Daisy you mentioned a 4-day "arrangement". If by this you mean you have your hotel and park tickets booked together in a package, then no, I'm afraid you won't get any discount on your annual pass cost for having a park ticket already. The reason for this is, on a package, your park tickets on their own have no face value.
Peter, no, I've never worked at Disney at all, but I've found out all this stuff about Annual Passes through trial and error (my first 2 attempts to sponsor new passes failed due to some of the conditions above). DLRP Magics annual pass info is great to get your started, and I'm also on another Disney forum where a lot of AP holders post :D .

No problem at all Daisy,
You're right, if you buy your pass at the end of October, you can start sponsoring others at the end of November. The current version of the sponsor form expires on 7th November, so you should look out for the new version and keep it handy for when you start sponsoring.

Was just wondering if anyone had received a sort of parrainage form for one person in the post yet. I received one today but as i dont understand much french i thought someone might be able clarify what its all about for me. I tried a translation site and it does seem like its a sponsor form for me to sponsor one person and i get 6 months free access and they get the 10% reduction but it translates Le Filleul as godson is this right? The offer has to be used between 1st september and 24th october. We're going in 2 weeks time and we have family coming with us so it would be great to use this aswell as normal parrainage because there are 4 adults coming with us.
Thanks in advance

Yes, you are the "parrain" and the person you give the 10 % discount to, is the "filleul".
Don't know about the form you recieved, haven't recieved something similar myself, so can't help there.
However, I can still help someone to get a 10 % discount on their pass, I got 1 spot left ^_^

On the current normal parrainage (sponsor) forms, you can only sponsor a maximum of 3 new annual pass purchases. And you have to sponsor all 3 (and have all 3 DLRP stamps on your parrainage form to prove it) before you can apply to have your own annual pass extended for an additional 12 months for free.
That sounds like a great extra deal you got shaz - but it would seem you would have to work out which offer is best for you as the sponsor. You won't be able to combine both the normal parrainage with the "one sponsorship, 6 months added free" extra one you have.

I dont know if i received this offer because im on their mailing list or because i put in a complaint a few months ago.elaine. I dont know if you remember but i complained about not knowing about the under 7 getting free annual passports with a paying adult and in our group we ended up paying for 3 under 7. Anyway they were very apologetic and they said to let them know if we were returning and to give them the name of our hotel if it was a disney one and they would "try to restore our faith in Disney" in some way. We had already booked the kyriad to return in September so they said they would contact the kyriad even tho it wasnt a disney hotel and pass on our details to Quality manager. They also said if we are to book a disney hotel in the future to send them our details.
To get back to the form elaine, myself and my husband have annual passports so could i use the normal parrainage form for 3 of my family and he could use the form for one person? Then we'd both get extra months free (but i'd get the 12 months :D/ if thats what you get with the normal form.)

That would work shaz - yes, I do remember your situation with the free under 7s APs.
Theres nothing to stop your husband using the special offer parrainage first, to at least guarantee he'll get 6 months free on his AP. With your 3 sponsorships in September, you have your AP covered for a free 12 months, and then your husband could try and get 3 sponsors on his normal parrainage form before his annual pass expires, then use that for an extra 12 months free, instead of the 6?
As you paid full price for your childrens' APs too, you can also sponsor on those - so get racking up those sponsorships :lol: !

Hi
We are getting excited because this time next week we will be in Paris!
We are going to apply for the annual passes and as there are 3 children under 7 we will be able to get them free annual passes. So do we do this at the gate as if we pay a daily rate for the kids to get in and then upgrade in the office we won't be able to get their admission refunded? Is this right?

Hi pinkprincess,
Thats right, you can't get the childrens one day ticket prices refunded on their free APs.
You go to the normal ticket offices at the turnstiles, or Guest Services office, which is to the right of the turnstiles at the entrance to the main Park.
Tell them you want free childrens annual passes when you buy adult annual passes.
You can get a free childs pass for each adult pass bought, as long as the child is at least 3 years old, and at most 6 years old. You will need to provide proof of age for each of the children (I used my daughters passport).

It is on the Annual Passport site and you can download the sponsorship form there, too. See here:
http://offres.disneylandparis.fr/passep ... ffer.xhtml (http://offres.disneylandparis.fr/passeport-annuel/adherents/partnership-offer.xhtml%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I wonder if this offer is combinable with the one year for free sponsorship though.

Hi,
I didn't get one of these sponsor forms through the post, but my daughter did.
My AP had already been extended for its next year for free through the post, thats maybe why I didn't get one. Daughter got hers last week though, so maybe they are on their way to other AP holders?
I know someone on another site has queried the combination of the normal 3-sponsorships to get a free year on your AP, and this one-sponsor for 6 months free. The 2 offers can't be combined, so you need to work out yourself which one is going to benefit your best.

Hi all, Just back from 4 days in dlrp. It was brilliant, we were so lucky the weather was fab. We even managed to get a tan!! :D/
I was with my family when they were getting the AP's, and it was lucky i was! At the ticketdesk on way in to pay, the cashier seemed to be really confused about the annual passes, do they not get any training?? Because I had the sponsorship form for 3 filled out and the one for one ap that i had received in the post, she looked for 4 existing AP's, I thought you only needed one existing AP per form. I dont really know what she was doing but she took a photocopy of the 4 existing AP's. When we got to the AP office the CM scrapped the photocopied Sponsorship form that i had printed out and filled out a new one. I still got my stamps so thats great!
Are the AP's automatically topped up with the extra 12 months or do I have to contact them??
Already looking forward to going back!! :D

Hi Shaz,
sounds like you had a great time!
When your AP is in its last month of validity, you either take it in person to DLRP, with your sponsorship form, to get it extended for another 12 months for free, or you can post it within the same time frame, to the address on the sponsor form. Include your AP, sponsor form, and a letter asking for the AP to be extended for free for 12 months. I did that a couple of weeks ago, and my extended AP came back to me within 10 days - excellent service I thought.

Hi,
I received an offer in the post (in French) it seems to be saying that if I sponsor 1 person before 24th October I will get 6 months free pass extension and they get the 10% discount.
I am planning a trip 23-25th October anyway so if anyone wants sponsorship let me know and we will sort out getting the form completed that they sent me.
I've never done this before so any help would be good.
Thanks
Kara

hi I needed one more stamp to get my three sponsors for my free year, my friend went and they gave him a new form for the six months free and stamped that one :(
do you think that if I take both forms next month the cast member will see the problem and destroy the 6 month form and put the stamp on to my form for the free year?

I would be tempted to email the AP office now, and explain the situation. Then, if you get a favourable response by email, you can print that off and take it with you when you go to DLRP to get your AP extended.
I emailed the AP office back in June, as a CM at the ticket booth had misled 2 of my new sponsors. The new AP holder kindly let me have her receipt for her full price APs, and I sent a copy of that, along with my email. The AP office got back to me and stamped my sponsor form with the 2 stamps. I have had excellent service from them, I'm happy to say.

i am going in december and need to get an anual pass but i need one for my son too and its going to be tight money wise having to buy 2 so if i can get him a free ticket then that would be great.
could someone explain to me how it works? there are going to be 3 of us as anual passport holders so can we each get 1 free ticket for him?

Hi madame-leota,
Its not free passes for friends once you have an AP - its discounts on the one-day ticket prices at the gate.
So if you buy a Fantasy Annual Pass, you can buy a one-day ticket for your son at the gate with 10% discount on the ticket price. If you buy a Dream Annual Pass, you can buy a one-day ticket for your son at the gate with 20% discount on the ticket price.

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, but here goes...
I've got an AP, and I cn't find a phone number anywhere that seems to be working to get a room only quote! I definitely had one once, because I did it at the beginning of the year, but no luck at the moment.
The 08705 number is unobtainable, and the +33 numbers are a french answerphone, which I can't understand and don't want to hang on the line to find I'm in the wrong place!
Can someone please help me and tell me which phone number I should be ringing please?
Thanks so much in advance, Suzie

Thanks Elaine, I didn't realise that you could use that one for AP bookings - I was using the English Central Booking one 0033 160 30 60 69, which is obviously a French number, so having spent 15 minutes waiting for an answer (and listening to Just Like We Dreamed It!) I've probably just created the phone bill from hell!

Hi there,
sorry if this has already been covered, but could anyone help me out with the following?
We've had Fantasy APs before (expired this year), but have a trip planned for 30th November for 4 days (3 adults and 3 children).
1. Can I order 3 Francilien passes (+ 3 free child APs) in advance, or must they be Fantasy passes? (I've read you may get temporary passes that need to be validated on the first visit, and hence Francilien would be no good).
2. Can I do this by post with the downloaded application form (i.e. is there enough time)?
3. Has anyone purchased them via FranceBillet/FNC website (I think they send you temporary passes - do they send you a free child temporary pass as well, or must you get that when you validate your own pass on site?
Thanks in advance :D
Colin

Hi,
There is no advantage to getting APs through the post, as they are temporary only, and are not activated until the first day you are physically present in the parks at DLRP. So if you wanted them to use for the entire duration of your next visit which begins on 30th November, Francillien would not work for you, unless you don't intend spending days 2 and 3 of your holiday at the parks.
And you can't order free childs passes through the post, as proof of the childs age (ie at least age 3, and under age 7) is needed to issue any kind of free AP in these circumstances.
Hope this helps,
Elaine

Thanks Elaine,
I was under the impression that the postal application form was asking for both a photo and proof of age (e.g. photocopy of passport) for each applicant, so we could apply for the AP by post?
Never mind - saves worrying about it :) So it's possible to get the free U7 AP by just asking for it? And there's an AP office at the entrance now? One thing we wanted to avoid was having to queue for a ticket when we get there with 3 very excited kids :)
Thanks again for your reply.

You can buy your new AP's, and request the free ones for the qualifying children, at Guest Services, which is to the right of the turnstiles a the gates to either the main park or the Studios. They will take your money in full there, and issue you with a receipt and a ticket to get you into the park. Sometime that same day, you take your receipt and tickets to the AP office in the park, and they will issue you with your new photo permanent APs.
Remember to ask for the free childrens APs, as the CM may not automatically offer it.

There are no blackout days on Dream APs at all, and if you buy this one day, yes, you can use it the very next day for EMH access to the park.

I also have a question about the ap's.
We have AP Dream. We are going on 1st of January 2009 to DLRP - with my parents and my Aunt from the US. Now - can we go in on January 1st and buy them Francillien AP's (but the 1st of Jan. is a blocked out day for the francillien passports)??? It would be ok for them not to go in for the following 2 days after the purchase - but would that work anyways - if we just went in on the 1st to buy the passports and then return on the 4th again? Since we'll stay for 6 nights and since they wanna see Paris and Versailles etc., that would be ok for us. That would be less expensive anyways then buying the parkhopper tickets for 2 days...!
I would be very thankful for good tipps on how we could do that the best way!
Thank you :-)

Hi,
For the Francillien to work, you need to be able to activate it (ie use it as a park ticket). As the 1st Jan is a blackout day, you won't be able to activate it, and so you wouldn't be able to use it on the 1st. Same with the 2nd, as that is also a blackout day for Francillien. So, the first day you'd be able to activate a Francillien pass would be the 3rd (when you can use it as a park ticket all that day), and then you couldn't use it on the 4th or 5th.
The next pass up, the Fantasy, has no blackout days in January, and can be used as soon as its bought.

Someone might have asked this already, but I'm curious whether there's a calendar of when hotel discounts apply? E.g. hotel discounts seem to range (for Dream passes) from 10-30% on 'specified dates'. How can you know which dates you can get this 30% discount? Is it simply on the lowest peak days? If I ring Disney directly, can they tell me?

There isn't anywhere where this information is advertised I'm afraid.
However, every 3 months, as an AP holder, you get, either through the post or by email, the Envie+ magazine. This tells you how high the discounts can get in the following 3 months, and between which dates. It doesn't (with the exception of the Davy Crockett Ranch) tell you which hotel attracts which discount rate on which date. Thats where your phone call to the CMs at Disney direct come in - as they can tell you.
So, for example, the next Envie+ magazine is due out in early January 09. It will contain details of dates and percentage rate discounts for dates in January, February and March. From early January, the Disney CMs will be able to give you the same information, and in particular which hotels have which rates, on your preferred dates from January to March.
The magazine after that will do similar things for you for April, May and June.
Hope this helps,
Elaine

From early January, the Disney CMs will be able to give you the same information, and in particular which hotels have which rates, on your preferred dates from January to March.
The magazine after that will do similar things for you for April, May and June.
Hope this helps,
Elaine

That's very helpful! Thanks Elaine :) We've only just become members so I suspect you're right in that we'll get our first magazine when the next issue is out. We just had such a great time last week (our first time!) that we're already planning our next trip!
Thanks again for your help :mrgreen:

Ok, I do appreciate that this may top the list of the daftest questions of all tie, but I'm ok with that!
On my Dream Passport, the Expiry Date shown is 22/01/2009. Does that mean that it is valid until the end of the day on that day? I probably won't be able to renew both our passes :cry: at the moment, so this is the first time I've needed to know.

Quote from: "Elaine"Hi,
For the Francillien to work, you need to be able to activate it (ie use it as a park ticket). As the 1st Jan is a blackout day, you won't be able to activate it, and so you wouldn't be able to use it on the 1st. Same with the 2nd, as that is also a blackout day for Francillien. So, the first day you'd be able to activate a Francillien pass would be the 3rd (when you can use it as a park ticket all that day), and then you couldn't use it on the 4th or 5th.
The next pass up, the Fantasy, has no blackout days in January, and can be used as soon as its bought.
Elaine
I just wanted to let you know that this info wasn't correct. When we arrived at DLRP on the 1st of January we were able to go into the park and buy the anual passport francillien (for 4 people). We were able to stay for that day, but couldn't go in for the following 2 days. So it's always like that, you can BUY your AP even on a restricted date - but only if you don't have one already - and stay in the park that day!

Me again! This time the questions are far less stupid though!
First, does anyone know if they are still offering 6 months free on your pass? And is that only if you renew, or how does it work? (I tried to find the info and failed)
And Second, and I know this has been asked before - is there any way to buy annual passes before we go? My dad has offered to renew the passes, but he's not coming with us (when he last went - 1992 - it rained the WHOLE time!), and I can't seem to find anywhere online to buy them. Don't really want to ring if I don't need to either, as obviously it's expensive to call France!
Ooh, and also, is there a valid sponsorship form anywhere, and is it worth us standing outside the Passport Bureau for a while and offering to sponsor people?!
So could anyone please help?!
Thanks, from the stupid one over there in the corner.

Hi,
As far as I know, you only get the offer of free extra 6 months when you renew an AP. We did that with my daughter's AP on renewal, I took the letter she got offering her the extra free 6 months to the AP office and they were absolutely fine giving her 18 months for the price of 12. I don't know if this offer is still going on, or even if you can request it without getting the letter confirming the offer.
You can renew your passes with the AP office before you go, either by phone, or by sending them a letter, explaining fully what you want, how you wish to pay, and including your old annual passes. I think you would be best to phone them to sort out the payment, if you father is paying, and I think it would get sorted out quicker on the phone as well.
I have extended my annual pass through the post with the AP office, had no trouble at all, but I wasn't paying anything extra, so I don't know about the payment side of things.

I have no idea wether waiting outside the AP office and asking to sponsor people is allowed, I would'nt want to waste any time at Disney doing that!!

Luckily I got sent home late Sunday with instructions to return when we got home (my doctors are fantastic!).
But it has meant that our passes have run out :( and so we'll just have to get new ones next time we go I guess - hoping we can afford it.

Hmmmm. According to Disney, Fantasy Annual Passport holders are entitled to a 20% discount on Disney hotels during "certain periods." Does anyone happen to know where to find what periods these are? It isn't mentioned anywhere in the fine print.
(Sorry if I'm getting annoying with all the questions. Perhaps I could make it up by sponsoring someone.)

Hi,
The AP room discounts, and the periods they apply, are supplied every 3 months or so in the Envie+ magazine, and its also available online in French (I don't have a link though, hopefully someone else can provide that?).
The AP discounts for January to March 09 were released and publicised in early January 09, then next lot of AP discounts will be for April to June, and should be released and publicised in early April.
Hope this helps,
Elaine

Can you get a discount on multi-day tickets? Say you are visting the parks for 3 days, can you get a discount for a 3 day ticket or do you need to buy a seperate one day ticket for each day?!?
Quote from: "Elaine"Hi madame-leota,
Its not free passes for friends once you have an AP - its discounts on the one-day ticket prices at the gate.
So if you buy a Fantasy Annual Pass, you can buy a one-day ticket for your son at the gate with 10% discount on the ticket price. If you buy a Dream Annual Pass, you can buy a one-day ticket for your son at the gate with 20% discount on the ticket price.

For AP holders, there is no discount on multi-day park tickets I'm afraid.
I've found, when pricing up 2 and 3-day hopper tickets, its cheaper to buy them in advance from other agents ie 365tickets, attractiontix, themeparktickets etc, compared to the Disney price (even taking into account the AP discount for buying one-day tickets). Disney prices for hopper tickets can be competitive though, so I'd check the Disney price too.

Just wanted to share that fact that I am now the proud owner of an annual "Dream" passport - I left like singing that song from "Charlies and the Chocolate Factory" when I got it.
Queue was horrendous in passport office in the park - like a couple of hours to be seen. Ended up planning to leave it till the next day but couldn't get back in with my temporary ticket so I was directed to "Donald's Desk" outside the park - much easier as only took 10 minutes and no waiting!!

Hi there! This is my first post as an active member of the magicforum. Been reading the board for some time now. It's time to contribute to the Disney community!
I'm planning to go to Disneyland twice this year. The first visit is 1 day in June and the second is 3 days during the Christmas period. I'm interested in the Fantasy Passport, but I have a question regarding the purchase.
I want to buy it when I'm there in June. I'm going by train and I read that a train company in Belgium offers a 5 euro discount on all parc tickets if you purchase a voucher in one of their train stations. The price of one day / one parc ticket will then cost me 46 euro's (instead of 51 euro's at Disneyland Parc). I've read that Disneyland will deduct the price of a one day ticket from the purchase of an annual passport. My questions is, will they deduct 46 euro's from the passport price, or 51 euro's?
If they can't see that I actually paid 46 euro for a 51 euro ticket, it will save me 5 euro's. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Thanks!

Hi
I would suspect that Disney would know how much you paid for the ticket by the computerised information on it! If you get the extra discount,then good luck to you! A surer way of saving money is to get a sponsor for your AP as this will save you 10% of the cost.If you do not have a sponsor I would be happy to supply you with a sponsor form.

Hi. Thickie alert! Apologies for what may be incredible dim-ness!
Am I right to think that the annual passports (Francilien at 89 euros) are cheaper than a 4-day hopper pass?
I have a family of 7 (2 adults, 2 adult-classed children (12 & 14), and 3 other children aged 6, 7 and 10). I am looking into booking our 3rd trip, our previous 2 were booked through Thomas Cook and cost around £2k or so, and were 4 day stays at Santa Fe.
If I buy 7 APs, therefore around 630eur (£560 GBP), all I'd need to sort out would be my own transport, transfers and accomodation. I reckon I could do the whole thing for much less than usual.
My question is, why doesn't everyone just buy APs?
It would also mean if we wanted to go again later in the year, as long as it wasn't a restricted date, we could just book transport, cheap accomodation and we're off!
Again, apologies if I've got this spectacularly wrong, but it seems AP is the way to go?!?!?
Help me someone!

Yes, if you don't plan on visiting on one of the restricted dates the AP is a much better deal, not to mention the 10% reduction in all restaurants!!
And if none of your family owned an AP within the last two years I could even sponsor you, which would give you another 10% off of the regular price, so it would be only ~80 EUR for each AP, instead of 89 EUR!!
Just give me a note if you want sponsorship...

at the moment the 40% offer is better value than the annual pass discount, and secondly you wont be able to buy francillien as once you have bought it you cant use it for at least 2 - 3 days after purchase, so unless you are going to paris for a few days and then back its no use, and there are loads of black out days on the francillien and you might coincide with those and you dont get any discounts with the francillien, only with the dream and fantasy, hope that helps

Do I take it that you can't get the francilien unless you go in person?
Thought you could apply postally?

I think it should be no problem to become an AP holder by post or by phone, at least it used to be like that.
Read all about the different APs, their discounts and restrictions and the ways how to get them HERE (//http://dlrpmagic.com/guides/practical/annualpassports/).
Your best bet would probably be to contact the AP office directly by phone (+33 (0) 160306085).

There is no advantage to buying your AP in the post, as you don't get a permanent AP through the post. You get a temporary AP, which has to be activated and exchanged for a permanent AP within 30 days, and the only way you can do that is in person at the AP office in the main park at DLRP.
You also don't get the special AP offers unless you apply in person (for example, your 6-year old is entitled to a free AP when bought with an adult AP of the same type. This offer has been running for the last 2 years, and is extended, at the moment, to July 09. So if you are going before then, this may be worth considering).

But for the Halloween night you have to buy a completely separate ticket that is from (6pm?) and you get a 50% reduction on that.

I've read on a dutch DLRP fan board that, as of april this year, the person who already has a passport and wants to give someone else the 10% discount, must also be present at the ticket office when the new passholder buys his own passport. Can anyone here confirm that? At least three people on the other board are confirming that this is in fact the case now.

This may be true, but unless a Dream AP holder has asked this specific question at the AP office themselves very recently, and had a definitive reply by email (ie written confirmation) I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
The reason I'm saying this is, my friends had the same story from a CM at one of the ticket booths at DLRP, when they were trying to use my sponsorship to get 10% discount on buying their new APs. This was 2 years ago. I knew the CM was wrong in the information she gave, I complained to the AP office by email, and they confirmed that (at that time) I was correct, and I didn't have to be present at all for my friends to use my sponsorship. My friends got a refund on the difference they had to pay because the CM refused my sponsorship form, and I got the required stamps on my sponsorship form retrospectively.

Its easy to do it in person in the park, you just go to the AP office and do it all there.
I don't know about which you would be best to do first though - extend for your free year then upgrade? I may be upgrading my DD's fantasy pass next week, but its not been extended with sponsorship.

I have now heard,from another forum user, that DLRP HAVE confirmed that the sponsor does indeed have to be with the new purchaser to get the 10% and years extension!
I wonder if you, like me, think that this is blatant discriminmation against non French,even non Parisian AP holders. You would have to be extremely lucky to be at the park at the same time as your friends to qualify if you have to travel from abroad to visit DLRP.
Just another example of Disney wanting our money, but treating us like second class citizens in my opinion.
The magic is as strong as ever,but the administration leaves so much to be desired!

Yes, there have been quite some changes with the APs lately (for example the scandalous fact that parking at the hotels is no longer allowed for Dream Pass holders!!! (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6960))...
But no, the Francilien is still available, it is only not advertised like it was anymore. To see it on the AP page you need to choose "France Ile de France" at the region/language selection of www.disneylandparis.com (//http://www.disneylandparis.com/), although it is still available for everyone to buy (according to mouetto).

Thanks Mobi. I saw the Francilien on sale just a month or so ago, so it would have been strange for it to be withdrawn after the start of the new "Disneyland" year.
The parking at hotels doesn't necessarily bother me, but then I don't drive. They should have explored whether it'd be possible to offer it at Disney Village instead, but that might have caused problems with the automated tickets used there. One of the downfalls of farming out car parking (of all things) to a 3rd party...

It bugs me though, as we bought Dreams maily for parking at hotel and EMH. The drinks are nice, but not worth the difference. And the extra 10% of merchandise is fine, but not much of what I want to buy as most of it is junk, or can be bought in the UK cheaper.
Having been an AP holder for 10 years, I doubt we are going to renew this year.

Digging out the 2002 AP brochure, it's strange to see that the price of the old Fantasia (top tier) passport was actually €40 more than the current price of the Dream!
Also, it looks like they used to offer free parking at the main lot and at Disney Village, so Hotel New York was obviously just offered as a quick alternative when the new non-Disney multistory took over.

we are a family of 2 adults an eighteen year old and an 8 year old. would it be worth the dream pass? how much would it cost me if i purchased next week when we are there for the day. also if i purchased on the day could we go back in the next day using the dream pass.

The Dream can be used 365 days a year. You can simply buy them next week and then use them anytime you like! They are about £140 each. Enjoy

Sponsorship or Parranaige (spelling?) is where you get a discount, and if enough are bought, the sponsor gets a free extension to their AP. Once upon a time it could be done simply if you had their forms, but now, the sponsor must be with you when you purchase your APs

No, I don't think so. The Dream AP costs 189 euro, and gives you 10% discount in table and counter service restaurants, and 20% discount in nearly all the shops in the resort.
But, you can buy 20 shares, become a member of the shareholders club, and this gives you 15% discount at table service restaurants (no discount at counter service though) and 15% discount on shopping. This also gives you 10% discount on your purchases at Disney stores in the UK :D , plus access to Salon Mickey at DLRP, where you can get hot and cold drinks, cookies and pastries free every day. The cost of the shares and the buying fees etc at the moment is less than £70.
I think the best possible combination is a Dream AP and a shareholders membership, but only if you're happy to stay offsite and use your AP as a park ticket. Otherwise, these days, I wouldn't recommend buying a Dream AP just for the discounts.

Buying an AP for just discount would be silly, Unless you plan on spending about €2000 (@10% thats €200 discount) However, if you are planning to use for tickets aswell, yeah.

Annual Pass is offering tickets for DLP for friends for 19€.
Does anyone know if they are only valid for the day you buy it or can I buy 2 tickets to be used on seperate days?
The offer is for 5 tickets and I plan to go with a friend and want to stay for 2 days.

My AP Dream expires in a few weeks and I´ll renew it this weekend. Does anybody know if there is a special offer when renewing your old passport? In the past years I always got offers per mail. Not so this year :-(

I have an annual Dream passport which entitles me to 50% off the special event Halloween tickets, which are now available on-line. However, there is no facility to book this using my ticket and get discount - can anyone help me out. Does it mean I have to wait till I am at the park to buy my ticket? I will be attending the night of Halloween on 31 October - this was part of the reason for getting my annual Dream passport
Thanks

No..you'd be best to call your local Disneyland Paris booking line and book the tickets. Just make sure that they know you are a AP Dream holder (and have the card to hand) in order to get the requirement discounted pricing.

My husband & I have recently got married and (both) changed our surname...we've also moved house! Does anyone know the best way (call, letter, etc?) to let them know about these changes for our Annual Passes? Also, ours expire in December..how do we go about renewing them?

Do you need to tell them you've changed name and address? What I mean is, your Annual Pass is a photo ID, so they can see by the photo that its you, regardless of what your name has changed to. The only time you'd need to tell them of a change in address is if you get postal magazines, letters, offers from them. If you do, you can just email Disney and tell them you've changed your address.
On renewal, you have a few options. You can renew by post, or in person. As you might want to change your AP to your married name on renewal, I'd guess in person would be easiest, and take along your marriage certificate so they can see the reason for the change of name.
I believe if you renew your AP within 30 days of your existing one's expiry, you get 18 months for the price of 12 on your new one.

Yeah we haven't really ever received anything by post apart from our passes themselves. If we renew by post do we need to wait for them to send us something or is there a form somewhere online we can download? Or do we need to call them again like we did last time to get them to send us a renewal form? Would love an 18 month pass!!

Last time we were lucky enough to be offered an 18 month passport - which we are hoping to renew when it expires. Up until about 6 months ago we used to receive the Envie + magazine but that seems to have stopped now. So I was wondering if we'd be offered the 18 month passport seeing as the lines of communication seem to be down!
I did try emailing the APB but have had no reply. Anyone know the best way of speaking to / contacting someone in the APB?

There's a group of 8 of us going at Easter, we just miss the blackout dates so we could get any of the passes but were wondering if one of us got the Dream Annual Pass would we all be able to get in for Extra Magic Hours? Or if two of us got the Dream Pass or something? Or do we all have to have the Dream Pass to get in?
Thanks!

Awww that's annoying! I'm more than willing to pay the extra because it's worth it to see the park so quiet! Don't think anyone else is quite as willing as I am!
Are the AP blackout dates finalised or are they going to add anymore?
We're going on 5th April so just missing the 3rd and 4th April blackouts.
And also, is it easier to get them by post or over the phone? I think most of the group would be going for the Francilien and I was wondering if they'd send out temporary passports or the proper ones because we don't want to miss out on the second and third days of our holiday.

I think you'd need to contact the AP office and find out if you can buy permanent APs by post etc - as if you can't, then Francillien passes won't be able to be used on your 2nd and 3rd days as park tickets.

Hmmm, just went through the last few pages of this thread and thsi seems to screw up my planning somewhat.
I'll be at DLP Dec 24-27 this year and I had planned on getting a Dream AP, being sponsored by a friend who has one (so I get the 10% discount), maybe even 2 of them (if my friend decides it's worth the extra money as opposed to a 3-day ticket).
Now if the sponsors really have to actually be there in person, my friend won't be able to sponsor me, unfortunately.
Now my question: Are any of you AP Dream holders out there in DLP at Christmas as well so you could sponsor me/us?
If not, I'll probably not bother with the AP (which is a pity) or look into becoming a shareholder again (used to be one once, with only 1 share, that was before the regulations changed)... do shareholders get a discount on APs?

Hi Dorest Candy,
Until recently we have been AP holders for 10 years and have been taking the children from the age of 10 weeks old.
AS they will be 3 and under, the children are free and therefore do not need Annual Passes. However, they will not get any perks nor do they need them. Anyone with an AP can get the free pushchair rental. And as long as the person paying for merchandise or meals is an annual pass holder, the discount can be extended to anyone in your party.
Hope that helps

Hi All,
We are a family of 4 (2adults, 8yo and 4yo) planning to go (1st time) on
9 Feb till 20 Feb 2010. We already have our hotel sorted as it is part of our timesharing. But since we'd surely be going to DLP at least 7 of the 11 days I am sure that an AP would be most sensible. I am thinking of getting the Fantasy AP for the four of us. But it would really help if there's a way for us to save here and there. For this I have several questions that I hope some of you could answer.
1. Do they still have the child's AP go free for an adult AP?
2. Is there a way to purchase the APs in full prior entering DLP and skipping the buy the day entry 1st then converting it to AP inside (am I right to say that this is quite catchy? in effect one is buying an AP and a day ticket.)
3. If number 1 question isn't offered anymore, could it be possible to save on our purchse of the APs - I know you have to buy 5 APs at the sametime before one could enjoy the family discount, is there a way to get around this?
4th question is quite off-topic, but do you guys think that the Feb booking may become a disappointment (in terms of weather)?
Hope someone could help. Thanks ever so much.

You don't have to buy a ticket to get in if you are getting a pass. You can pay for your pass at the ticket booth to get in and they point you in the direction of the AP centre to take your receipt and convert it to a card.

Thanks for clearing that up Faye. I have read here that there are some AP holders who'd be at DLP office area on the day we are there and who'd be willing to sponsor, (hopefully someone would notice us and offer). Hope we'd get lucky to meet one ... I'd just pray that DLP would have a good offer/promo scheme nearing our trip so that would make this holiday really more amazing than it already is.

Another quick question for the AP professionals here ;-)
I've just purchased (via the DLP website) a Party Ticket for the 4 days I'll be staying there (4 days for the price of 3). This lets you print a voucher which you then exchange for a proper ticket right there at Disneyland.
Now I *might* want to get a Dream AP anyway when I'm there (I'm thinking now that I've paid the EUR 139 now, I won't mind paying an extra EUR 50 on the day), do you think they would credit the price of the ticket against the purchase price of the AP (after all, the price is on the voucher I printed) if used on the first day I visit? Or are they really strict with the rule (that I seem to remember) that they only credit against 1-Day passports?

Hi everyone,
as you know disneyland paris is offering 10% discount on annual passport purchase if you find a sponsor. We have two passports so we can sponsor up to 6 people. We will be at disneyland paris on Jenuary 18 till 21. The Sponsorship is no longer available by mail, so you must meet the sponsor at the annual passport office. So feel free to contact us if interested. Thank you so much.

You can't do that.
I don't know how big your familiy is. If you are 5 or more you can get a even bigger discount (I think it is 15 %) when you buy all the AP's together.

Thanks for the replies. We managed to get 1 Fantasy (EU129) and 3 Francillien (EU99) at 10% discount (less 42.6). Quick story- we were kind of in a lookout for someone who could sponsor us at the outside till, then this kind man approached us and handed us his tickets good for 3 days for 2 parks (for the 4 of us) since he said they are leaving that afternoon and they just used 3 days of their 6 day pass. And in the Annual Pass Office, just as we were about to pay, there came an AP holder at the next till, I then checked the lady at my till if it'll be alright to ask the other person to sponsor me. It was great that she talked to someone and I got to talk to the other person- then the 10% came off, although the lady had to redo the process of inputting our info. But she was very kind and was ok to redo the whole thing. It' really doesn't hurt to ask. We did- and we saved a lot.

Hi Lynne,
What date will you be there, as annual passports have to be sponsored in person now (ie both the sponsor and you need to meet and go to the AP office). Also, as far as I know, the rule still exists that you can't be sponsored for a new AP if you've had one which has expired within 2 years of the date you apply for a new one.

I think it's not on the site because it's only available for people in France.
Or possibly even of the region, I'm not sure.

if you log on to Disneylandparis.com then select ile de france as your region then you can see the francillien pass - be aware there are not that many extras with the francillien pass and you cant use it for a few days after purchase. its not too much more for the fantasy.

Hi
I'm going to be there this 12th October - but, and I will need to check this - I bought the Francilien AP in October 2007, so I won't be breaking that rule. I plan to visit on the Tuesday and return on the Friday. I'm based in an apartment in Paris, so the 2nd and 3rd day rule doesn't apply either.
Thanks
Lynne

Hi everyone!
my sister and i are planning to buy a dream ap in june.
is there still a 15% discount on the ap's with our shareholder card?
and how does it work? we buy our 1 day tickets at the counter and get the money back at the annual passport counter in discoveryland , even with the shareholder discount?
and with our ap we get 20% discount on the parktickets for our non ap friends. Is this just for 1 day tickets or also for 2,3 or 4 day tickets?
so many questions...
thanks in advance!

i can help with the tickets it seems to be the one day ones only that you get the discount, its actually cheaper if you know when you are going to go on disneyland paris .com and select ile de france as your region then get the francillien day ticket, at the moment they are €29 for a one park print at home ticket for the day, thats what i did for my mum in march

Yes, you do get 15% discount on your new APs when showing your shareholder discount card. You can do it the way you suggest, or you can go to Guest Services or Bureau Donald and get your full new AP there and then, without having to buy a one-day ticket. I went to Bureau Donald in November and did this, it was great as there was no-one else in there at all, so within 5 minutes I had my new AP.

Bureau Donald is opposite the side (the revolving doors) entrance to the Disneyland Hotel, on the right-hand path as you look at the entrance to the main park from The Village. Instead of going under the Disneyland Hotel and to the park ticket turnstiles there, go to the right instead. You'll see the revolving doors entrance to the Disneyland Hotel on your right hand side, Bureau Donald is on your left. Guest Services and the Left Luggage office will be straight ahead of you.

Hi Just need some Help Here
My Friend and I are going to DLP on 4th July till 11th July,
We have sorted our accommodation off site and we are going to get a AP Dream Each.
We wanted the merchandise discounts and EMH so we're going to go for the most expensive.
However I'm sort of confused on a couple of things, firstly do we have to do this stupid arrangement of Paying for a day then refunding at the AP centre? What were the things here about buying an Annual Pass At Bureau Donald? Is that where u can get the whole process completed in one go or would u still have to go to the AP Centre.
Also on the planning pages of DLRP MAGIC it says you can get AP's at the entrance of WDS? IS this true? and if so will it be open on July 4th? Apparently the ticket booths for AP's at WDS are only open is High Season?
Many Thanks!
I know its a lot of Q's but please answer all of them it would be a great help! :lol: :lol:

Okay, heres the way I have purchased APs in the past.
First time, I went to Guest Services at the entrance to the main park. They took my money in full for my Dream pass, gave me a temporary ticket to get through the turnstiles and into the park, and during that day I went to the AP office in the main park, where they swapped my temporary ticket for a full AP.
Last time, I went to Bureau Donald (directions as in above posts). They processed the full AP there and then, with no further need to go to the AP office in the park at all.
Yes, I've heard you can also get the Bureau Donald treatment at Guest Services at the entrance to the Studios park, but I haven't personally done this.

THANKS! So, what would you recommend? Going to Bureau Donald? Does that work every time or only if they aren't busy? What exactly is it there for anyway? Sorry just to clarify its on the right side of the Disneyland Hotel near the lobby entrance?

You can use Donalds Desk the same as the annual passport office, but Donalds Desk is not open all the time, only on bussy days. Bureau Donald (or Donalds Desk) is on the very right side of the Disneyland Hotel, where the guest relations office and the Entrace for the magic hours is.

Thank you! One last thing, Is this where Bureau Donald is?
And you know when the parks get full (Which they did almost everyday on my last visit) They give priority to Disney Hotel Residents (Which i was last year), but do you get priority as an AP Dream holder too?

How is it working if you already have tickets and want to buy an annual passport?
We have tickets for the 14 and the 17 of June because it's included in our bustrip to DLPR. But we want to buy fantasy annual passports at Disneyland. Can we get any discount for our tickets that are dated if we go to the annual passport office to buy annual passports? Or is our dated tickets "wasted"?

if there is a value on the ticket then you can normally use it, if its a ticket that came with a package these usually dont have a price printed on the back - hope that makes sense

if your tickets are part of your Disney hotel package, no, you get no discount for them when you buy an annual pass (they will have "forfait" or "0.00" on them). if you bought your park tickets separately, or if the tickets have a price value on the back of them, you will usually get one day's park ticket price discount when you exchange them at the AP office for an annual pass.

dont forget, once you buy your annuall passports they will be the ordinary ticket, that gives you one day free in the park so you can access the passport office and get your plastic annuall pass with your photo... but you can also send the ordinary ticket by post with photos and a filled application, you have 3 months to do this..(maybe even 6) its on the ticket, we did this 2 years ago, when they were giving 5 tickets for the price of 4(family package they call it, but you have to ask)we took the fith one home for a friend who was visiting at christmas, he sent it off photos form etc, was with him within 2 weeks. so if you have you tickets already with your tour, keep it until your ready to visit again, so you dont waste any of your year.. if your coming back to DLRP within 3 months, just use the tickets, and go to the passport office, full year from that date..

Question!
My friend and I are Annual Pass Dream holders and visiting this July. We have a non pass holder friends coming with us for 2 or 3 days in our 8 day trip!
I know you can get 20% off one day tickets for your non AP friends, but what about 2/3 day park hopper tickets?
Also would she be allowed to come have EMA with us? Or not? if not would a nice cast member turn a blind eye and let her through perhaps!?? THANKS

Every individual's onsite hotel ID card or Dream Annual Pass is checked by a CM at the entrance, before you reach the turnstiles for EMH. So no, with a normal park ticket and not staying onsite or at the L'Elysee Val D'Europe, your friend won't get into the park for EMH I'm afraid.

Some great news for AP holders. Firstly, if you wish to park in the Da Vinci car park during the week, you can do so and pay just €2 if you have an AP!
Also, even better for us, Buffalo Bill's is free if you go within 7 days of your birthday (this applied to my daughter and wife !) :)
Later this summer that will change to within the month of your birthday. Great deals.

Family visit to DLP in July and intend to purchase the Fantasy Annual Passport for the group. Not been able to buy in advance so intend to buy on the first day taking advantage of the earlier most helpful advice on this thread.
Apologies in advance however if the following further questions in regard to the above have also been asked and answered previously :oops:
- Understand that the FAP has the benefit of free parking at DLP. When you arrive do you pay on entry or exit. If on entry, is there any way to get the cost reimbursed ?
- Are the photographs for the FAP taken at the ticket booth or do you require to have copies in advance ?
Any help much appreciated. :thumbs:

About the parking, you pay on entry and the payement is not refundable, sorry...
And if you want a sponsor... Save 10% min about your pass. I can help 3 persons before the 5th july 2010...

Thanks Elaine,
But when you stay at a Disney Hotel, tickets are included and when i enquired about excluding the tickets - the holiday price was increased. How do u work that out?
In USA, you can book a hotel room only and buy the tickets seperately so we were able to purchase an anual passport. But in France, a different system.
Puzzled!!!

The room only prices are quit good for the disney hotels on expedia.fr. We paid for a premium bungalow at the Davy Crocket ranch at eastertime € 97,00 per night.

AP room only prices are usually more these days than a package, because (at least for Uk customers) Disney hotel packages more often than not have discounts on them - AP room only doesn't get the same high discounts. I've had an AP since 2007, and haven't used it to book room only with AP discount since the end of that year - every other time i've checked prices against package price/offsite/room only with Expedia, its been more expensive to go the AP room only route.

HI all,
What a useful place this is!
We are going to be at DLP on the 23 or 24th (most probably 24th) of August and will be looking to buy AP's for me and my wife, our little one doesn't turn 3 until mid September so we'll get her's on our next visit early next year (hopefully!)
Is any kind person with an AP going to be in the parks on the 23rd or 24th August (preferably 24th)?
Another tip for anyone new to this - join Quidco, then follow the links from Quidco into Disney's booking engine for your 1 day 15% off ticket - buy them - and get an extra 4.5% off via Quidco!
We bought 2 x 1day2park 15% discount tickets this way and got £6.63 back - dropping the price from £102 to £95.37!
Its only a small amount, but its all money for magic spends in the parks!

you won't be able to renew your son's pass in August, it has to be renewed within one month of its expiry. there would be no advantage in upgrading your son's pass to a Dream in August if he's not present.
On renewal of your other passes, yes, you can upgrade (or downgrade) your passes. You just pay the new fee for the year (ie Dream 189 euros etc). You won't be able to use sponsorship at all on your renewal passes - you can only get the 10% discount on buying new passes if you haven't held an annual pass at all within the past 2 years. if you are shareholders though, you can use your shareholders club membership to get 15% discount on each renewal annual pass.

Hello together,
if i buy a dream pass, i have a discont in the hotels, so if i come with frieds they dont have a annuell pass how much have they to pay for the hotel and the parktickets? Can they benefit from my discont too?
I am from Germany and here we can make a reservation only for the hotel and the tickets for the park.
Sorry for my bad english but i hope you understand what i mean :-D

I have called the booking hotline an she told me if i come with a friend, we have to pay the normal price fore one and i, if i have the dream pass, only have to pay the tax!!! Could it be right?
For exampel:
I'm going to visit Disneyland from 09.11 - 09.13 my friend had to pay 553 Euro for the hotel + breakfast+ tickets and i only 2 Euro for the tax if i had a Dream pass :roll:

Yes, thats right - the person without the annual pass books a package (ie hotel and park tickets). Then when you check in at your hotel, you add your name, and you will only be charged a couple of euros in local tax. We are doing this in October :) .

Then you can phone Disney and ask them for the room only price, as you have APs. Be aware though, that the room only price might be more expensive than the "one person books a package and the AP holder adds their name at hotel check-in" deal. Thats certainly been my experience this year.

I will be holidaying in DLP in October for three days and due to return in December for another couple. So, I am thinking of buying a 1-day pass and upgrading to the Dream Annual Passport. But, the folks I am going with in October (who are not going in December) are unsure whether to buy an annual passport or just a 3 or 4 day. I know the cost is similar but they're not sure what to do. My question ... after a very long preamble ... can they upgrade from a 1-day pass to a 3 or 4 day pass at DLP?

Hi there,
My friend and I are going to be visiting Disneyland Paris for the first time this November. As we are planning on spending 3 to 4 days at the parks, we have decided to get a Fantasy Pass. I was just wondering if there was any lovely person out there who could sponsor us, so we get the 10% discount? We would be arriving late on the 11th November, and so looking to get the pass on the 12th November, although we could always buy a one day ticket and then upgrade on the 13th November.
Thanks in advance!

You know you don't have to buy a one-day pass before getting an AP don't you? You can pay for your AP at either Guest Services or Bureau Donald, at the entrance to the main park. That way you don't have to buy a one-day pass in advance, and in Bureau Donald, they will give you your permanent AP there and then, without having to go to the AP office in the park.
I'm a bit lost about why your friends would want to buy a one-day pass in advance when they are going to the parks for 3 or 4 days - surely even if they didn't want an AP, it would be cheaper to buy a 3 or 4-day park hopper in advance, than to buy a one-day and then upgrade it to a 3 or 4-day park hopper ticket and pay regular gate price (ie no discount).
3 days is usually seen as the "break-even" point for considering a Fantasy AP over a park hopper ticket, if that helps.

Hi Elaine
Thank you for your post - I didn't realise that you could just buy an annual passport before entering the park - I will find Bureau Donald and purchase there.
My friends are still unsure as to whether they want an annual passport or just a 3 or 4 day and I guess I was giving them the option of either one until the very last moment of arriving at the park and deciding once and for all. If they only had a one-day that could be upgraded to either an AP or a day pass ... it gave them the greatest option. But we have been offered sponsorship by another forum member and so it will definitely be cheaper for them to have the AP - they'd be mad not to take up the offer and possibly return later in the year or next year.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Lynne

I'm sure you already know by now Dave, as you're either there now or already back (like me :( ), but to answer your question as info also for others: yes, starting from August 25th up to September 17th Annual Pass holders can enjoy exclusive EMH from 8:30 each day at Toy Story Playland. Each AP holder can bring two friends (but they need park tickets).

first thing to do jemma, is to check online for the price for the hotel/park tickets package for one adult. Thats the total price you will pay, apart from a couple of euros per night local taxes at the most. When you arrive at your hotel to check in, you add the other 2 names of your party to your booking, then you will get your hotel easypass which will be for 3 people (so all 3 of you get breakfast).
When you know the online price for a one-adult package as above, you can then phone the Disney booking line and ask them how much the same hotel would be for bed and breakfast for the 3 of you with Dream Pass discount (it will be the same price for the room, regardless of how many people there are, but if you want to, you can ask them the price for one and the price for 3).
Then you will have all the information, and you can decide what suits you best :) .

Wow, thanks Elaine! I did not know about this possibility, this could actually save a lot of money! Please, if you can, clarify these questions for me, just to make sure (don't want to end up booking only one person, arrive there and then be denied to add the rest of my family to the room)
1. Does this work for all Disney hotels and all room types (i.e. Suites also?)
2. Does anyone in the room need to be AP holder for this to work? (sure it makes sense to get park access, but is it required?)
3. Does this work with any kind of offer (i.e. 40%, Extra Night etc.)?
Sounds to good to be true. We are 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) and are planning another trip in January to the Disneyland Hotel for 4 or 5 nights. The savings of booking just 1 person instead of 4 should roughly equal the purchase of DreamPasses for the other 3!

- can't see why not, in fact I know it works for Castle Club (someone on another forum did exactly this for a special family weekend last year)
2. Does anyone in the room need to be AP holder for this to work? (sure it makes sense to get park access, but is it required?)
no, not everyone needs to be an AP holder at all - for example, one of your party might not want a park ticket, they might want to spend the time in the neighbouring areas to DLP.
3. Does this work with any kind of offer (i.e. 40%, Extra Night etc.)?
yes, definitely - I've booked this way for October, one adult in the room with the park tickets included, at 40% off. I will add my daughter when we get there, as we still have one valid AP to use for park tickets during our stay.

Hope this helps - and remember, for January, there are packages available for 4 nights/5 days where you get 2 of those nights and days free! If one of your children is aged under 12 in January, it would make sense to book them into the package deal with one adult, as under 12s stay and play free in January :) .

On another note : Is all post material going to be in French? I hope they don't think I speak it when I go there in regards to any reading material I get when I check in.

All the AP information you get through the post will be in French, but the little booklets they send out are often in French at the front, then the same info in English at the back. Don't worry about not speaking French when you get to DLP - as soon as you start speaking English, the staff will do the same :) .

Its all about crunching the numbers Jackie, and comparing prices with and without APs. APs rarely give you good room only discounts with Disney, in fact over the past couple of years its been cheaper generally to book packages (especially outwith the summer months) than book a room and have annual passes. To get room only prices from Disney, you have to call their booking number, you can't get those prices online. Expedia sell onsite room only during the winter months, and Disney has some great offers for winter too usually. If you would prefer to go to DLP in the summer months (ie May to October-ish) you might find its cheaper to get annual passes for all of you (yes, you pay the same price for APs regardless of the age of the child - anyone aged 3 or over pays full price) and then book an offsite room in a hotel across the road from the onsite ones (Kyriad, Magic Circus, Dream Castle or Explorers).
Because we still have one valid AP between us for our next trip next month, we were able to book a package for one adult and go onsite and still be under budget - but it was a struggle this time, prices in general for the period April - October at DLP are just getting more expensive.
I have booked a full package for all of us for March next year, because kids under 12 go free, and Disney were offering 2 nights free when you pay for 2 nights - that represents nearly a 50% saving, so would be rude not to take them up on that offer ;) !
From the end of the year this year, for the first time in 3 years we'll have no valid APs - and at the moment that suits us as we tend not to go May - October every year, and the winter season packages really have been good value for money the last 2 years.

The DreamPass for 149 EUR instead of 199 EUR, the Fantasy Pass for 99 EUR instead of 139 EUR, and also kids <7 get one free. That sounds like a really great offer, but I am not sure if it can be ordered from other countries than France!? What do you think?

Quote from: "Nicolai"For our next trip in January we need two DreamPasses. On DCP I found THIS (//http://disneycentralplaza.englishboard.net/disney-travel-planifiez-vos-voyages-f10/pa-1-adulte-payant-1-enfant-gratuit-jusqu-au-10-1-2011-t18327.htm) thread about a really great offer on a french site:
http://www.ce-multiavantages.com/404/pa ... romos.html (http://www.ce-multiavantages.com/404/passeports-annuels-promos.html%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
The DreamPass for 149 EUR instead of 199 EUR, the Fantasy Pass for 99 EUR instead of 139 EUR, and also kids <7 get one free. That sounds like a really great offer, but I am not sure if it can be ordered from other countries than France!? What do you think?
Hmm I don't know about that webiste, but if you need someone to sponsor you I will be in DLP Jan 2nd-7th...

You can buy her a new pass when you get there, it will need to be a Dream pass though if your dates are Fantasy blackout dates. Would it be cheaper just to buy her park hopper tickets instead of a Dream annual pass?

Just one thing, if your niece is under 18 then you will need a letter from her parent/guardian permitting the renewal of the AP

you get 20% discount on buying her a one-day ticket, and you can do this for each day you're going to the parks - if you have a look at the Disney site you'll get the gate price, so then you can work out how much it will be getting your niece the discount and buying a one-day ticket each day you're there, compared with buying a 3-day hopper ticket in advance (from the likes of travelrepublic, attractiontix etc). If theres nothing really in it pricewise, obviously it will be a lot more convenient buying her ticket in advance.

many thanks for the info and Laura, thanks, but found that out last xmas when we treated her to disney and bought her pass for her never seen so much fluffing about, I couldn't understand why the fuss when I was purchasing a ticket, had to get her mum to fax permission, which was also a waste of time because they both had different surnames, I should of just said that she was mine, still lesson learn't.

Hi fellow Disneymaniacs,
We're going to Disneyland Paris on december 4th and 5th and we can sponsor up to 6 persons for a 10% discount on their annual pass.
If you're planning a trip on one of these dates and would like to get an annual pass with 10% discount, let me know and we would happily arrange a meeting at the park entrance.
See you there!

You can't use it in places such as Studio Catering Company, but you can use it in the Block buster Cafe...
How do I describe it better.. Places that are indoor such as Bella Notte and Caseys Corner and Market House Deli and Restaurant en Coulisse etc all let you use the discount. But places such as kiosks selling just hot dogs or crepes/waffles or popcorn or coffees and snacks dont offer the discount :)

Yes the pass covers both parks.
How much money you need depends on your spending pattern! The most economical way is to have a good filling breakfast and try to make do until the evening and then have a buffet such as Plaza gardens, Cafe Agrabah etc.
Nothing at Disney is cheap so I would allow about 40/50 euros a day per person to cover food and drinks.

Hi, looking for anyone who could sponsor 3 of us for fantasy passes on 18th January, we're going from 17th to 21st but will arrive after the park shuts on 17th and assume you can't buy tickets after the park closes. I had read it wrongly and thought we could get family discount so any discount would be much appreciated. Please PM me if you can help.

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking on the forum for quite so time, so bear with me on my first post!
Basically, I'm heading to DLP very shortly (this coming weekend, in fact) and would like to purchase an AP. However, I've already booked a 3 day pass online through disneylandparis.fr.
Would it be possible to exchange the 3 day hopper - which hasn't been used - for an annual pass on the day?
I've trawled the internet for the answer to this question but to no avail...
Thank you in advance ;)

Hi everyone - this is my first post here and I hope you can help. I've read the information about annual passes but I'm still a bit confused. My family will be travelling to DLP in April and there will be 6 of us. We would like to go to the parks for around 4 days and I believe that an annual pass would be the best value way to go. Can someone explain what the sponsorship is about. Someone told me that I can get a discount if I'm buying multiple tickets. Does that mean one person gets an annual pass and then sponsor the rest. Can you do this immediately or are there rules about how long you have to have your pass before you can sponsor someone else. Any advice gratefully received! :D

No, you cannot buy a ticket and then sponsor other people for a certain amount of time i.e after your visit! If you can find someone to sponsor you they get an extension to their passes for three people sponsored and you save 10% on the cost of your tickets. You can post on this site for someone who is at the park when you buy to sponsor you.

I think that if you buy annual passports for the whole family that you get a discount of 20% for each passport.

If you choose to buy passports for everyone and want the discount, I believe that you all have to have the same home address (if my translation of the rules is accurate).
Another option could be to join the shareholders club and you'll get 15% off the cost of passports or the 1/2/3 day hopper-tickets if you prefer to go that way.
Have a look here --> http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/sh ... ndex.xhtml (http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/shareholders/shareholders-club/discounts/index.xhtml%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) or look at the relevant section here on the forum.
Have a great break.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Our group is 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 children so we are all the same family but the grandparents don't live with us. Oh well, even without any discounts the annual pass still looks like a better deal.

We are a family of 5 arriving Fri. 25 Mar 2011. We are expecting to be at the park in the early afternoon and are planning to purchase Fantasy passes. I want to verify my calculations to insure we are making the best decision.
1. It is 189 USD for a 3 day pass. This totals $945 for our family. I have not found any longer pass or significant discount off of this rate. Any deals I may have missed? We are staying at Marriott's Village d'lle-de-France through a timeshare exchange so it is not an option to stay on-site this trip.
2. The Fantasy pass is 139 EUR per person with a 20% discount for a family of 5 at the same address. This would make the total for our family 556 EUR (Approx. 785 USD, 160 USD less than the 3 day pass!)
3. Is it possible to be reimbursed for the parking we will pay the day we arrive?
4. Is there a blackout day pass you can purchase for an additional fee? We are in Paris from 25 Mar - 1 Apr and are simply planning to visit Paris during the weekend which is blackout out so it is really not an issue but just wanted to know if there is an option.
Thanks for any information or advice!

Does anyone happen to know whether it's possible to renew your Annual Passport on the phone and still get your Shareholders Club discount? Because I want to book a hotel with the Annual Passport discount, causing a bit of a catch-22, haha.

Have you already got your quote for your room with Annual Pass discount? If you haven't, it might be worthwhile doing that first, to see if the price is reasonable enough. If its too expensive, then you can book elsewhere and sort out your AP with your shareholders discount when you are next at the resort.

Disney hotels are never reasonably priced, even with a twenty percent discount. They are the self-indulgence of a sentimental fool.
But I suppose it simply isn't possible then, as I had feared. Ah well, next time then! You've helped me make a very wise decision, Elaine. (Quote for Sequoia Lodge with discount: €300. Quote for Ibis Val d'Europe: €59.)

I think I may have posted this in the wrong place previously.
We are looking to go to DLP for 4 nights/5days in May2012. It would be me, my husband, my 4yr old, my 2 yr old and my 1yr old. My mum, dad and sister may also be coming. We will want to stay on site, for my lot and my sister it would probably have to be the Sante Fe, my parents would probably prefer somewhere a bit more up market.
So I have a few questions,
1. is it likely to be more cost effective to get an annual pass or just book the normal way?
2. if is it going to be more cost effective, is it possible to book a disney hotel without the included pass when you don;t have an AP? Or is it possible to get an AP before arriving at the park?

It depends - can you do a booking run-through for the package for you all for May this year, see what figure it gives you? Then you could look at the various annual pass/hotel room combinations, see if it would work out better.

oh most definitely - its "up to", its not all onsite hotels on all dates, and as I said before, the room only rates are often more expensive than a hotel/tickets package.

to be honest I don't even phone Disney now for their hotel room prices with AP discount - as the discount is rubbish compared to the cost of a package (ie generally costs more for room only than a package).
But I have booked room only with Expedia in the winter months and used APs for park tickets, and I have booked a package for one adult and then added my daughter to the room booking when we got there - no extra charge for her (she wouldn't have been free on a package as she's aged over 7) and used an existing valid AP for her park tickets. This method can work out seriously cheaper if you are a family of 4 annual pass holders - ie book on adult only in on a package, then add the names of your other annual pass holders when you reach the hotel. At most you will have local taxes to pay for the other 3 names, which is no more than a couple of euros per day.

hi elaine. just wondering, assuming i buy a 1 adult package on a discount (40% or 30% off.). can i still book/add annual passport holder(another 3 pass hodlers) for the price of local taxes only? or this only applies to a full price package?

Question on Francillen restrictions. Are you able to use the pass the day you purchase it and then not the next 2 days? In our case we arrive on Friday and the weekend is blocked out for both Francillean and Fantasy. Can we go Friday evening and again beginning on Monday regardless of which pass we purchase?
If so we can manage a small savings with the Fracillean pass.

Hi
We have just returned from DLP and had a great time. Having looked at your website before visiting we planned to get 5 Fantasy annual passports with a 20% annual discount (me, my wife, my son and my parents) as we all have the same surname. When at the park, we were told we couldn't do this as we don't all live at the same address. Please can you confirm if this is correct? Also if it is correct, please would you change your website as we ended up with a very disappointed son.
Many thanks

We have also just returned from DLP, we were due to go at Xmas but had to postpone due to the snow. My son's fantasy pass expired in December, we went to Donald duck ticket booth and asked what the blackout dates were for the fantasy ticket 2011, they didn't have them to hand, as we want to go Xmas and didn't want to take a chance we opted for a dream pass. I asked if he could have a discount using my dream pass, that was a no, i asked if he could have the extra 6 mths as we had had in august that was also a no. so we took the little card and went down, to the passport centre in main street, i again asked for the blackout dates, xmas was ok so we asked to change it back to a fantasy pass, no picture or anything had been taken at this point, this was also a no, I then asked for the discount that was also a no.
I am very very disappointed with all of this, we hold 3 dream passes, now 4 you would think they could of given the discount as it was in fact a new annuel pass. I am pretty disgusted to say the least and at these times you would think they would treat us better.
shame :oops: on you Disney!

the reason they can't give you a sponsor discount on the new annual pass is because its for folk who haven't held an annual pass before, or who have not held an annual pass for at least 2 years at the time they buy a new one. thats black and white, and has been the rule at least since 2007 when we bought our first passes. I'm guessing the free 6 months extension has ended now also, as it used to be offered automatically when you renewed your pass.

Hello!
My friend and me are going to stay in Disneyland from the 27th of april until the 28th, so two days of Disney Magic. We have already booked a hotel package and we´re staying at the New Port Bay Hotel.
Now we want to go later this year for another trip, because our friends are not able to come with us. Now we thought of buying the Francilien because I thought we would get the price of a one day ticket of the price of the passport. But now I understood it that way, that this offer isn´t available when you booked a hotel package? Do we have to buy the passport for the whole price? Then it wouldn´t be worth buying a passport for two extra days, because we had to pay the hotel anyway. And is there a room only booking? Here in Germany when you book it you always get the hotel package...
It would be nice if anyone could help me with my question =)
Thank you very much in advance =)

you can still buy an AP on your trip coming up, but no, you won't get any discount with your existing park tickets, as they will have no value on them (they will either say "nil" or "forfait" on the price bit on the tickets you get with a hotel booking).
It may still be worth getting a Francillien AP if you're planning another trip within a year - as the Francillien price may still cost less than a 2 or 3 day park ticket. You would have to buy your Francilien AP this trip for them to be any use on future trips, as they cannot be used for 2 days once you have bought them (ie you use them as park tickets one day, then they can't be used on days 2 and 3). You would also need to check Francilien AP blackout dates.

If someone would like to sponsor us (total of 5 but however many you can sponsor is fine) we are going to be arriving at the park March 25th around 3:00pm.
PM me if it might work for you.

How does the spknsor thing work? and how much would it then cost. I am in the park from 6th April, and am thinking that it might be worth it to get an annual passport, being that we get very cheap eurostar and could conceivably go for day trips as well

Quote from: "satine15"Hello!
My friend and me are going to stay in Disneyland from the 27th of april until the 28th, so two days of Disney Magic. We have already booked a hotel package and we´re staying at the New Port Bay Hotel.
Now we want to go later this year for another trip, because our friends are not able to come with us. Now we thought of buying the Francilien because I thought we would get the price of a one day ticket of the price of the passport. But now I understood it that way, that this offer isn´t available when you booked a hotel package? Do we have to buy the passport for the whole price? Then it wouldn´t be worth buying a passport for two extra days, because we had to pay the hotel anyway. And is there a room only booking? Here in Germany when you book it you always get the hotel package...
It would be nice if anyone could help me with my question =)
Thank you very much in advance =)
you'll not get any discount on your annual passport, except you're going with another ap holder. then you get 10% off. the francilien has a blockout for the next 2 days after buying it. funnily the cashier said to us, that ticket will be work nontheless. they would yust tell the visitors that it's not so... crazy story, i didn't understand why he told us that, and we didn't trust him, anyway.
there is a new annual passport existing at the moment. its called annual passport classic, and it has no blockouts for the following days. it costs 98€ and it's valid 270 days in one year.
if you don't have a annual passport dream or classic it's very very expensive to book a disney hotel room without package. you can book it at the hotline, i do that always from germany.
i would book the hotel kyriad, or magic circus.these are not official disney hotels, but there just near the park and they have shuttle service to the park for free. it's about 5 minutes away to the parks. you can book them at hls.com or booking. com. we did that a few times, and were very happy with it. you get a 2bed room for 80€ one night if you're lucky.

Hi all!
My girlfriend and I are planning to buy a Passport Francilien each. Since it's her first time going to a Disney park, I want the AP's to be squared away before the park opens on our first day there. Does anyone know how long before opening one can purchase the AP's as well as how long it takes to do so?
Thanks guys!

I believe you can purchase them before you arrive by post or by calling Disney - however they are not activated until the first time you use them in the turnstiles at the park entrances, and Francillien annual passes are not valid on the 2nd and 3rd days after you activate them.
If you want to purchase your APs at the park entrance, the ticket booths/Guest Services office opens before the park turnstiles do, so if you arrive at the park at around 9am you should have completed your AP purchase by 9.30am, when the turnstiles open. I'd suggest you go to Guest Services to buy your AP, usually shorter lines and they are more knowledgable about APs generally.

Go to Disneyland Park ticket booths, buy your AP's there and get your temporary entry ticket, enter the park and then go to the Anuual Passport office near the entrance to Disco-land and it should take no longer than 5 minutes for each passport(of course depending on the queue in the office). I'd have to say that straighforward method is easiet :)

there's a new annual passport office next to the blockbuster cafe at wdw studios. the queue at the discoveryland office was kind of crazy at our last visit. waiting time was up to 40-60 minutes every day. a lot of people are buing annual passports at the moment. so better you go directly to the studios. if you speak french a little bit it's also possible to make your passport for yourself at the automat inside the office in discoveryland. i think it's the better way anyway, because you can choose your picture for yourself.

This temporary ticket you get can you get a fastpass with it? and can you get the 10% discount with another ap holder if buying at the ticket booths?
Also any AP holder there on April 30th in the afternoon (or may 1/2) to be my sponsor? :D

the temporary ticket is a normal day ticket, so yes, you can use fastpass machines with this. Your AP holder sponsor has to be present with you at wherever you are paying for your new AP, so yes, if you're paying at the ticket booth, your sponsor has to be with you then.

Very tempted to get the APs for our next visit. But I have a couple of questions.
1) For the Family discount if I get 5 passes - my wife is Italian and her passport still and will always have her maiden name on it. Will that matter? Would a marriage licence help (note: not the best french speaker in the world)
and
2) Does anyone know what the excluded dates are for the Fantasy Pass?

the classic one has got more blockout dates. it's valid for 270 days, the francilien is valid on 300 days, i think. the point on the classic passport is, that you can use it also at the 2 following days after purchasing. that's not possible with the francilien.

Actually yes - this is the only time you can use 2 discounts together - the family discount for buying 5 passes all at once, plus the shareholder discount :thumbs: . Unless there has been a very recent change to the discount rules, you can do this.

but unfortunately i did not get to accumulate passport that i have sponsored to get the 1 year free ( i was told i need 3 passport to sponsor), due to the fact that my passport was not a full fare passport.
i got mine at promotion rate + free child under 7.
oh well, at least i am happy to able to give discounts.

Hi all, brain starting to fry trying to work this out. Is it possible to get the hotel discount on your 'first' visit?
Planning an Oct trip and will be staying in an onsite hotel, will almost certainly go again within 12 months if we had an AP, but would be onsite again (my wife insists on onsite hotels ). If I could get the 25% discount from the first booking on a hotel only package it looks like it makes a lot of sense but that means having the AP before getting there? Can you somehow buy APs over the phone, then book the hotel? When would the AP start? When will my brain give up trying to save a buck and just book through the website anyway?

You can ring Disney and book a room with an AP discount without yet having an AP... And when you get to DLP leave your luggage at the hotel and go to the parks and buy your AP.... And then check in later in... You can't check in without your AP... Thats what we did our first time...
However we were told by one person in reservations that we could do it, and when we went to book we were told we couldn't... So I hung up the phone and rang again and I talked to someone else who took our booking!

Remember too that there is no guarantee of 25% off the room only price with an AP for your preferred dates and hotels. Its "up to" 25% off, and usually even with that discount its more than a room/tickets package would be.

Yeah. I rang up just to see how long a week would be in Sequoia with/without tickets
With €2300. Without €2100 (didnt mention any discount for the dates we picked in Oct.)
The guy said they have a saying ' the longer you stay the less you pay' i.e. the longer you stay the less the value of the tickets are of the overall package

I saw the link from a Wiki-style page for DLRP, and thought that it would be better as they do international shipping.
Also, I have another question.
If I were to buy an AP and get an temporary pass and get my card in the park, does the "start date" being from the day I receive my temp pass or when I get my card-pass?
Thanks. :)

Quote from: "alternativerock123"Quote from: "gldc"Quote from: "alternativerock123"Hey everyone,It should be from 1st activation. But I think that's the website that charges an annual fee or 20 euros or something just to sign up :evil:
Has anyone bought an Annual Pass through this website: http://www.francebillet.com (http://www.francebillet.com"%20onclick="window.open(this.href);return%20false;) ?
I saw the link from a Wiki-style page for DLRP, and thought that it would be better as they do international shipping.
Also, I have another question.
If I were to buy an AP and get an temporary pass and get my card in the park, does the "start date" being from the day I receive my temp pass or when I get my card-pass?
Thanks. :)

Good morning,
I am new around here, so I would like to start by thanking everyone for the information share here, it has been very useful in the planning of our trip.
We are going to Disneyland Paris on April 27 and we will buy Annual passes Fantasy for 3 people (two adults and one child of 6). Is anyone interested in a sponsorship on that date?
Have a beautiful day!

BTW folks, while talking APs, it is at least great to see what a bargain DLP's are. At Disneyland in California, they do not offer anywhere near as many perks (ok, the parks have longer hours, better and more entertainment, and they get new attractions all the time, but perks specific to APers are limited), but the prices this year are $329 for a deluxe (like a Fantasy - 230 euros) and $459 for a Premium (like a Dream - 321 euros). At WDW, ok there are 4 parks but for comparison, APs are $531 - so 371 euros, and the premium are $670 - so 469 euros. Hong Kong Disneyland, the smallest resort charges for the Gold Magic Access pass - HK$ 1,650 or 149 euro, and Platinum is HK$ 2,400 or 216 euro for one park with 14 attractions. And in Tokyo, before the quake and tsunami, their prices were for Tokyo DL - 45000JPY or 370 euros, Tokyo Disney Sea - the same. 2 park passport, 617 euro. These are all standard adult prices.
So far, DLP is the bargain amongst them, or is it? Yes, of course it is, but I don't know about you, I would be happy to pay a little more for better maintenance and entertainment. Welcome your thoughts.

Will get an email from Disney offering the renewal... And do you always get the offer of 18 months for the price of 12?

sometimes you do get the letter, sometimes you don't. It doesn't matter though, as long as you renew up to 30 days after your annual pass runs out, you'll get the 18 months for 12 offer at the AP office in the park.

Good evening,
One more question for today: is it better to buy online a one day ticket for each of us, enter the park with it (avoiding the lines this way), then go to the Annual Passes office inside the park? I understand they will deduct the price of the one day ticket from the value of the Pass.
Thanks.

If you buy an online ticket, you may need to queue to redeem it. I find it easiest to buy one from guest relations personally.

Guys is it possible to buy my AP's before we go ? I would ideally like to buy 3 basic ones for the wife and kids and one dream or fantasy pass for myself. we are hoping to go for 5 nights in June as we do every year but I want the 3 passes to work in the park for the full 5 days .
Also will i get any discount for 4 tickets bought that way ?
its been a bit of a nightmare this year as one of my kids has turned 12 and the cost has gone up £350+ than it used to be.

unforunately there is no advantage to buying Francillien passes before you go - because its the first time you activate it (ie use it for park entrance at DLP) which counts, then the following 2 days you can't use it.
There is no discount for buying 4 APs together, unless you are a shareholder and use your shareholders club discount, or unless you buy them in person at DLP, and have a sponsor who can meet you there and be there also in person to give you their AP sponsor discount on your new APs.

We bought new AP's on Sunday 9th April and the queue was massive!. It was really warm in the sunshine and had to wait ages to get seen (the queue went right onto the road bit where the parade route is) and that was just our queue, the queue for the Francilien passes was also nearly the same size.

It is worth seeing if Donald's Desk is open - it is an AP location outside the park under the DL hotel. I think its the same side as the baggage storage. If it is open, the queue is often shorter than inside the park.

It was definitely over an hour and it was middle of the afternoon (if you look at the parade times, we came out and had to wait 5 minutes for the parade to start so couldn't even leave the front of the AP bureau) so roughly 90 minutes before the start of the parade.

One more question. Am I correct in understanding the following will work:
I'm meeting someone for a day in the parks on the 6th of June. If I get Passports Francilliens that day, we can't go the next two days. That means we'll only have the 9th and 10th to visit the parks before we leave Paris, because of the blockout dates.
So I figure, get single day tickets on the 3rd, spend the day at the park and get them swapped for a Franceillien while only paying the difference between the 2 types of tickets (ie:99 euro for each of us.) Then I have the 6/7/8/9/10 to spend at the parks.
Correct?

could you not just buy your Francillien pass on 3rd at the ticket booths/guest services at the entrance to the park, instead of buying a one-day ticket and then having to exchange it for a Francillien pass later that day?
But yes, your plan would also work.

Hi Elaine
Thanks for your replies
I have booked 5 nights at the Davy Crocket in June... now the first girl I spoke to would not let me book without a dream pass to get the 35% discount and was adamant that i could not book at the discounted price until i held the pass or proof of purchase.
I rang back and booked it with no ticket deal and all the discounts on the basis that I can not check in until I have the pass in my hand so I will have go to the park first then buy myself a dream pass and my wife and 2 kids a fantasy pass each
a. please tell me that the crocket wont charge me more if I turn up with a pass bought the same day I check in
b is a dream and 3 fantasy passes the best way to do this for 5 nights / 6 days ? there are no block out dates for our trip
thanks again

Hi,
(a) They wont charge you extra. Last year I booked with the discount and bought my AP in the parks before I checked into the Santa Fe.. There was no problem at all checking in.
(b) Yes I think this is the cheapest option... A 5 day ticket is £177 Adult and £141 for a child... The Dream AP is €199/£175 and the Fantasy AP is €139/£122. So they do work out as being cheaper, and you get your discounts too :)

hi everyone :D
am desperately hoping for some help/advice and im hoping you lovely people will have the answers for me!!no pressure lol
i am booked to take my daughter (shes 5) to dlp on the 28th of june for 7 nights and 8 days with my mum.we are booked into the newport bay hotel the three of us sharing one room on the admirals floor and we are flying from glasgow.
i booked a package deal including transport, hotel, transfers and park tickets under the discount deal that dlp had running in january which gave us 30% off the whole package including transport and my daughter will stay and play for free.
my problem is i had no idea about the existence of annual passes :? i am wondering whether getting an annual dream pass would be a better deal for us.i would hope to take my daughter back again within the next 12 months at least once and as we are there for 8 days the discounts would come in useful!!
would it be possible to switch our tickets to annual passes instead of hoppers that we will have got as part of our package do you think?if not would it be worth my while purchasing one annual dream pass for myself and getting one days worth of my hopper refunded do you think?
if only i buy the dream pass would we get discounts off food for all three of us provided i am present each time?and also with the shop discounts would this apply?what are the discounts like for booking a hotel in the future for any trip i may wish to take in the future?again would the 35% discount apply to the whole party staying in one room as long as im there with my pass?
would you guys recommend the annual pass?
finally...i know this is a bit cheeky but if i was the buy an annual pass and get one day of my hopper ticket refunded (ive read earlier in this discussion its only one day you can get reimbursed for is this right?) would my ticket still be valid for the other 7 days that ive paid for for a year so i could pass it on to someone else??
any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Quote from: "theprincessofpink"hi everyone :DUnfortunately hotel-booked DLP tickets as part of a package have a face value of 0 euros (it's what it says on the ticket itself) so they would give no discount. If you are going to get an annual pass for the discounts you do get discount off for everyone. The 35%room discount is not in additional to the discounts you usually get such as 30% for your stay etc and is only for select hotels on select dates. You'd have to get the 119 euro annual passport to get reasonable discounts and to make that money back you'd need to spend 1190 euros in food and merchandise to make your money back (although you'd not have to pay for your tickets next time you go back).

I could be wrong but I think it is possible to buy an AP even if it is a blockout day... However I could be wrong but I do think I remember reading this simewhere
That would be so awesome. Can anyone confirm this?
I'll have to do searching online to find out where i read it... You may have luck emailing disney though with the question... I will have a look though

This is a quote from January 2009....
Quote from: "Piratesfan"Quote from: "Elaine"Hi,
For the Francillien to work, you need to be able to activate it (ie use it as a park ticket). As the 1st Jan is a blackout day, you won't be able to activate it, and so you wouldn't be able to use it on the 1st. Same with the 2nd, as that is also a blackout day for Francillien. So, the first day you'd be able to activate a Francillien pass would be the 3rd (when you can use it as a park ticket all that day), and then you couldn't use it on the 4th or 5th.
The next pass up, the Fantasy, has no blackout days in January, and can be used as soon as its bought.
Elaine
I just wanted to let you know that this info wasn't correct. When we arrived at DLRP on the 1st of January we were able to go into the park and buy the anual passport francillien (for 4 people). We were able to stay for that day, but couldn't go in for the following 2 days. So it's always like that, you can BUY your AP even on a restricted date - but only if you don't have one already - and stay in the park that day!

Thanks for all the help Laura.
I just googled "Passport Francillien", and it took me to the official french site. Under the list of restricted days for the Franillien there was the following:
"Ces jours de restriction ne s'appliquent pas le jour de l'achat de votre Passeport Annuel.
Les enfants de moins de 12 ans doivent être accompagnés par un adulte. En cas d'évènements ou de forte affluence, nous nous réservons le droit de limiter ou de refuser l'accès aux Parcs Disney® ou aux attractions."
It Basically says that the blockout date doesn't apply for the day you purchase your passport, though they have the right to limit or refuse access to the parks or attractions.
However, upon clicking on "tickets" in the top menu and navigating to the annual passports section, only the fantasy and dream passes are availible!!! Could they be stopping the Francillien?!?!?!?!?!?! :cry:

I've been searching a bit more. It seems that the Francillien IS still availible, but it's only advertised on the "Ille De France" official website.
I found the following forum topic at Disney Central Plaza: //http://disneycentralplaza.englishboard.net/t8701-tout-savoir-sur-les-passeports-annuels-pour-disneyland-paris-en-page-1, which has a list of &) FAQ's about the passports! Yes, &)! Only problem: it's in French. I will read it when I have some time and see if theres anything of interest.

Quote4) I like to buy a PA Classic Fantasy Francilien or the day of my visit but it will be a day of restriction. This Will valid?Source: DCP
Yes, the annual passport is valid on the day of its establishment, even if it is a day of restriction.
Non contractual restrictions take effect from the day after the final establishment of the PA.
Please note, two days after the date of establishment (or local purchase) of a PA Francilien or Classic final days of restriction are contractual , even when staying in a Disney Hotel!

its no problem at all to buy your annual pass at the park gates when you arrive at DLP - I've done it twice now, first time I got a temporary pass from Guest Services, which I took to the Annual Pass office in the main park later that day, when it was exchanged for a permanent annual pass. The whole process took no longer than about 30 minutes in total.
We renewed annual passes at Bureau Donald near the main entrance to the park also, this took all of 5 minutes.

you can sponsor anyone you like, but you have to be an activated annual pass holder for at least one month before you can start sponsoring anyone else's annual pass purchase. you can sponsor up to 3 new annual pass purchases, and they don't have to be at the same time. remember though that you as the sponsor have to be with the person buying the new annual pass when they buy it at DLP, to get the sponsor discount and for you to get your stamp on your sponsor form.

Hi there,
I am planning on going to DLP in July for two days. I live in London, but would be visiting my dad who lives in Paris, so would probably go again in the next year if I had an annual pass. I was looking at the French website and it seems that you can get the AP delivered. As my dad lives in Paris, I would have a French delivery address, but what I was wondering is if I get the AP delivered to him, when would the two day restrictions on the Francillien kick in? If I bought it at the gates, it says you can't use it the two days after that, but if I were to get it delivered, would it be the first two days after I get it delivered or the first two days after my first visit?
The reason I am asking is that I want to visit both parks, so my other option would be the two different one day passes, but I would need a one-day-one park one and a one-day-two-park one, as I think that you don't necessarily need a full day in Walt Disney Studios, so would probably go back to the other park once we're done. So at the dates I'm looking at, that would cost me 90 Euros, whereas for an additional 30 Euros I could get the annual pass. But I would need to go on two consecutive days or at least twice in 3 days as I'm only there for 3 days so the annual pass would only work if I could get it delivered and the restrictions are from then and not from when I first visit.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Sabrina

Well to answer my own question (incase anyone has a similar question) I have e mailed DLP guest communications and it is technically only possible to renew your AP online if you have a French address... Otherwise you have to do it in person at DLP or by post which takes 15 days from date of arrival of your application to the AP bureau.. Plus time for postage

Hi,
Hope someone can help. Im going to Disneyland for the day in October and was wondering of its worth buying an Dream Pass then so as to save for future trips. Im then returning to Disney for 4 nights in November with my wife and 2 kids and the price is working out around £150 cheaper if I just book the package online only paying for 1 adult and 2 kids. Im sure I have read in the forums somewhere that I will then be able to arrive with my family in November and only pay a few euros taxes so as to stay with my family. Is this the case or have I made this up from somewhere, ha.
We made our first trip in November last year and then again in February, if we would of known about the AP in November it would of saved us a bomb but not going to get the chance to save as much now as probably only make one trip in next 12 months but with all the discounts you get its still worth the money if you can just pay the taxes.
Any Help you can give would be great..

yes, you can arrive with your family and have your name added to the room at check-in, at no extra charge apart from local taxes of a couple of euros per night. Only thing is, a Dream Pass is more than £150 isn't it? You don't need a Dream Pass for access to EMH if you are staying at an onsite hotel - you get that automatically because you are staying onsite. So maybe a Fantasy Pass would be better value for you?

Thats great, Im going for the Dream pass just for the extra % off you get off for various things. Just the extra 10% off in the boutiques will save me a fortune with the amount my kids seem to cost me in there.
Any idea if I can get the 20% off the one day tickets on the same day, if I was to go into the park and purchase it first?

Be careful - buying the Dream pass just for the extra 10% may not save you money. The difference in price between the Fantasy and the Dream pass is €50-€60. So to make that extra money back through the extra discount you would need to spend €500-€600 just to break even.

But if you plan to stay off site and use EMH, in utility value, it is a great deal. think about it, disney factor that on an average day, you will ride 10 rides. Given you can do that many just at EMH, makes the Dream pass still worth while. That said, if staying in a Disney hotel, it is not as great a value.

Also factor in the parking costs you dodge if you stay 'offsite' and drive in...
That alone is worth 15 euro a day in the Disney car park (or was last year!). We tended to park in the Vinci round the back of the Disney village for the subsidised 2 euro rate - a lot easier with a buggy!

Thanks for all the replies, looking into it, I think the best pass for me is the Fantasy Pass, as like you say Elaine, the kids cost me a bomb but not quite 500 - 600 (I hope - though if they do thats down to the wife rather than the kids).
Im after a bit of extra advice though as Im not sure If we can now get there in October due to work and I have already booked Disney for 1 adult and 2 children in November, will they still let me into the Santa Fe in November if I explain to them that I am going to go to the Park and buy a Annual Pass then I can return and add my self onto the room for the extra euros for tax. I just remember on previous visits the security as you enter the Santa Fe always checked your booking letter and the numbers in the car.
Any advice would be great!

I'm sure that will be fine - after all, you don't have to be visiting the parks even though you're staying at an onsite hotel (you might want to spend your time travelling around the area instead - unlikely as that sounds to most of us Disney nuts ;) ).

Hi Im really hoping some one on here will be able to help me, we are visiting dlp in october and have decided to buy annual passes this time. Only thing is our daughter who is 9 is disabled and I have been trying to find out if she will get some sort of discount on her pass like she would if we paid on the gate, if we did that she would get in for half price and a carer would go free. As there are 5 of us we would like to know how much we are budgeting for, have called disney and nobody seems to have a clue so i hope somebody here can. Thanks :D

Hi all,
I'm hoping some wise heads on here can give me some advice.
We're taking the kids to Disneyland in August, and staying off site at the Tulip Inn in Bussy St-George.
The kids are 10 and 3.
Originally, we were going to get a 4 day hopper pass, but were steered in the direction of an Annual Passport by a friend. By my reckoning the 4 day passes were going to cost about £500 and the annual pass will cost about £524 if we get Fantasy passes(we now figure on making a second visit within the year)
I've got to questions though:
1) - What time does the passport office shut? We'll arrive in Paris about 6.30pm and I'm wondering whether it's worth getting down to the park then and sorting out the passports so that we don't get caught up trying to sort it out on the following day (if indeed we can do that)
2) - Am I missing anything?
Also - what's it like trying to park at the site? Originally, we were going to get the Metro from Bussy each day, but I see that the pass includes free parking.
Thanks
Sam
I'm hoping some wise heads on here can give me some advice.
We're taking the kids to Disneyland in August, and staying off site at the Tulip Inn in Bussy St-George.

hi, we are visiting dlrp for the first time in august, and are camping offsite, me my partner and 3 kids. i was hoping to get the fantasy passes for each of us but noticed that it says (same surname). now we are a family but my partner and 1 of my kids has a different surname to me and my other 2, does this then mean that we will not be eligible for the 20% discount or can we still get it if we have proof of us all living together?
also does anyone know if we use tesco clubcard deal vouchers can we use those to upgrade to the passes or are we better off just buying the passes on arrival?
i emailed dlrp 2 days ago but still waiting for a reply!
thank you

I hope you get the discount. I'm going to have a silimar problem in September. My wife has an Italian passport and they always keep the maiden name. Plus her brother is coming to although he doesnt live with us
My plan -
1) taking my marriage certificate
2) Applied for several credit cards in my brother-in-laws name, but addressed them to my house.
I say it may depend on the mood of the person serving you at the passport desk :?

Hi I'm visiting soon from the 1st-5th August and i'm wondering what time the ap office will be open from? i should arrive there around 10.30am i think it used to open at 10am if i'm not mistaken!
And does anyone know if the ap office in the studios is open? i take it,it would be over the summer season and I imagine might be quicker getting the ap from there instead. The demand for Annual Passes has really taken off in the last 5 or 6 years,every time we go there is always a massive queue all day long and was hoping to avoid this!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Went through the process about 5 times but whenever I tried to add them to the basket it kept sending me around in a loop.
Almost seems to good to be true . Dream Pass for €150. 5 family members would be €750. Through DLP with the 20% family discount would be €800. Is it worth saving €50?

I think you have to become a member which cost 20 euros, this then enable you to buy the annual passes. For our tribe it works out a lot cheaper as we have two under 7's so we only need to buy 3 passes, i was just looking for advice before I pay out for them :D

your family discount for buying 5 passes at the same time is 20%, so thats better than the 10% sponsor discount (you can't combine these 2 discounts, so you pick which one is more to your advantage).

Afternoon guys and gals...
Its time for our annual trip to France to take place shortly and we will be in DLP during August.
Our exact dates to be there will be 17th - 22nd August. :D/
We can sponsor upto 6 people for AP's as both myself and the wife have one - this year we have to buy one for our daughter as she's gone 3!
If you want sponsoring just drop me a PM on or before August 7th. After that I'll try and get my brother to check my PM's and txt me the details, though knowing what he's like I wouldn't promise he'll remember to check!

Okay, here's a complicated one ...
I have a Fantasy annual pass, due to expire on 9 October. My husband has a Fantasy annual pass, due to expire in December. I am holidaying in DLP in a couple of weeks with my husband (19-21 August) and will return with a friend and her son in October (6-9 October), just before my pass expires.
I wondered if there were discounts available to me if I renewed while there in October?
Also, ... this is where is gets complicated ... I don't have children and so the Francilien/Classic seems like a good deal to me because I can take vacations outwith school/public holidays but I don't like the 2-3 day rule .. however, if I renew my Fantasy pass, say on 8 October, could I then use my new/renewed pass - Francilien/Classic - on the 9th (my final day) and then I don't have to worry about the 2/3 day rule because I won't return until next year?
Sorry if this is just too much for the forum ... I can't get my head around it. I've owned a Francilien pass before ... like 2007/2008, I think.
Thanks in advance ... :roll:

Is it worth booking in at Disneyland Hotels or going off site?

Hi guys!
I recently sent an e-mail to DLP Customer Service asking if I can purchase a Classic Passport online or by telephone. I live in Greece and will be visiting the parks in January for 2 days. Since you can't use the passport right after you purchase it I figured if I get it now online I can use it by January. To make a long story short, I was told that I can purchase a passport online and the only catch is that the site is in French. What they didn't specify however is if it is for residence of France ONLY. I've read several times, on the first page of this topic and elsewhere as well, that online purchase concerns only French guests. But the rep that answered my e-mail didn't make that distinction. Can anyone help me with this? I might just end up sending another e-mail to DLP, but this forum has a lot of great info.
Thanx in advance for the help! x

Hi, this is my first post although I have been a lurker for a LONG time!! I am obsessed with Disney and go as much as I can I also check DLRP constantly!!
I am wondering about an AP. I have never bought one I keep refusing and wanting more money to spend. However, I think I should this time as I am hoping to go in Oct, Nov, May and then Oct and tbh the shop and food discounts alone would be amazing.
I will be going with my son who is 5 and my mother on all trips and I only really want to buy one pass for me. Can I get the 10% discount off my total bill in restaurants or only on what I have eaten?! Obviously in the shops etc I have to be there to show my card etc with my mother and thats fine. I also have a few questions about the Disney hotel 35% room discount though. Does it include the food vouchers you buy with the room?! Does it include the children under seven going for free can I get that if I book the room for me and my son because he is free?! If that is possible can I use my AP and then just buy park tickets for my mother with a 20% discount?!
If that is not possible can I book the room for us and tickets me only and then use my AP to get a 20% discount off tickets for my son and mother. My son is disabled and so I should get the reduced entry for him and free carer tickets for my mother shouldn't I?!
Also the site says you cannot use it with any other offer but looking through this forum it appears other people have used it with offers so is it just a luck thing?!
It is VERY complicated haha. Sorry in advance but any advice would be good.
Thanks in advance

yes, its the total bill you get the discount off, so it would be for all 3 of you.
Obviously in the shops etc I have to be there to show my card etc with my mother and thats fine. I also have a few questions about the Disney hotel 35% room discount though. Does it include the food vouchers you buy with the room?! Does it include the children under seven going for free can I get that if I book the room for me and my son because he is free?!
the AP room discount is only on the full price of the room, so its generally cheaper to book a package. You don't get any AP discount on half board packages, so when you have an AP, its better value to use your AP for food discoun than to buy half board vouchers at all. When you book a room with your AP, its room only, no park tickets included, so you'd still have to buy park tickets for your son and mum, over and above what you'd pay for the hotel room. A better idea would be to book a package for just your mum and son (as he would be free) so they both get park tickets included in their stay, then add yourself to the room when you arrive to check in. This is a standard method for AP holders, and will reduce the costs for you.
If that is possible can I use my AP and then just buy park tickets for my mother with a 20% discount?!
If that is not possible can I book the room for us and tickets me only and then use my AP to get a 20% discount off tickets for my son and mother. My son is disabled and so I should get the reduced entry for him and free carer tickets for my mother shouldn't I?!
Also the site says you cannot use it with any other offer but looking through this forum it appears other people have used it with offers so is it just a luck thing?!
no, the AP discount cannot be used with other package discount offers. If you all have APs, sometimes room only is slightly cheaper than a package, but if only one of you is getting an AP, thats very unlikely to be the case when you add on the price of park tickets for your son and mum.
It is VERY complicated haha. Sorry in advance but any advice would be good.
Thanks in advance
:pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin:
I have no idea about disabled/carer access to the parks, sorry. Unless you absolutely must stay onsite on all your trips, if you are intending having 4 trips to DLP in 12 months, it would make sense to all have APs, then look at the partner/associated hotels booked through other agents (ie not Disney). Do a price-up of all your intended hotel bookings with Disney, then work out the cost of the APs you would want and say £70 per nigh per room for a partner hotel (they can be cheaper than this), and see how it compares.

Thanks for all that advice!!
Unfortunately (I love to save and explore new places!!) we have to stay onsite because my son is disabled and we need to be able to get to the hotel asap sometimes getting him there via transport if he is having a meltdown etc is so not going to happen. Also because he is in a wheelchair the trains etc are awkward. Besides I like staying on site but it would be nice to save. After ringing Disney and getting quotes for hotels with room and b&b only without tickets it looks like getting an AP for me in Oct because we have already paid for it and then getting room only in nov and buying mother and son tickets when we are there is the cheapest option. If I book room only in Nov I would save over £700!! Crazy!! I know that children normally stay and play for free but tbh for the amount of extra money compared to what I save it seems to be worth it.
Can I book a room only and then get mother and son APs when we get there in Nov if I already have an AP to book the room?! Also would it be cheaper to get them like a cheap version of the AP such as the fantasy as my version would get me money off hotel?! Can I use the family 20% at any time or do ALL passports have to be bought together. Finally do they give discounts off the APs for disabled people or carers?!
Thanks :D

yes you can do this, no problem.
Also would it be cheaper to get them like a cheap version of the AP such as the fantasy as my version would get me money off hotel?!
yes, you can buy the Fantasy for them, or even consider the Francillien/Classic AP bought in October when you already have park tickets, because that way the 2nd and 3rd day restriction on those APs would be used up in your October stay if you activate them the day you buy them in October. You'll need to check the blackout dates for all 3 APs before making your final decision.
Can I use the family 20% at any time or do ALL passports have to be bought together.
you only get the family discount if you are buying 5 of the same type of annual pass, all at the same time.
Finally do they give discounts off the APs for disabled people or carers?!
sorry, no idea about this one.
Thanks :D

you book one adult (and a child aged under 7 because they are free) in on a package booking (so hotel and park tickets for one adult, one child, are included). Then you, as AP holder, add your name to the booking when you all arrive at the hotel to check in. The most you will be asked to pay are local taxes, which are less than 2 euros per night. You get breakfast included, just like anyone else staying at the hotel.
Do a dummy booking for your dates for one adult, one child under 7, then 2 adults, one child, to compare the difference in what you would pay.
For example, on my last trip, one adult and free kids was £247, 2 adults and free kids was £374, so I would save £127 by being an AP holder and adding my name to the booking at check in.

Ohhhhh ok, sounds good. Have you ever done it before?! Do you have to tell Disney you plan on doing this when you book?! What are the taxes exactly do you know!? Are they more expensive depending on which hotel you stay in like if you stayed in the santa fe would it have less taxes then the Disneyland Hotel or is it a set rate of tax.
Also sounds a bit cheeky and I couldn't do it because it would worry me but there must be people that try it. If you have already paid for the adult and child they don't check how many there are of you at breakfast so what is there to stop people from just using their AP to go into the parks and not declaring themselves etc. Or is it just because it is so cheap everyone just declares anyway. Just a random thought really.
I would think if that is something possible to do with paying the taxes then I would think that it makes more sense to do that then buy them both separate passports but I don't know I need to do some more looking around and researching. I am terrible at trying to scrimp and save but hey the more money for spending in the shops the better!!

I dont know if this is the norm or just the CM we got. It seems that you need the same address, same surname and to be 2 adults and 3 kids to get the 20% family discount. The fact that my Wife Italian passport has her maiden name but we brought our marriage certigicate didnt help. Ah well.

Don't worry, Elaine is completely correct with this. This IS a standard procedure and not some trick. If you are still unsure just call the hotel or Central Reservation and ask if it is ok, they will confirm it.

yes, I've done this before lubynoo. You don't have to inform Disney before you check in - but you can if you wish, contact the hotel and let them know there will be 2 adults and one child checking in. It makes no difference to them, the room is already paid for in the package you've booked, and the room can take 4 guests. The taxes are around 2 euros per night, it doesn't matter which hotel you are staying at, the local tax is the same (its the same for the offsite hotels too). Everyone declares because there is no disadvantage to them.
Honestly, this method works, is perfectly acceptable, and there is no issue with it at all when you check in at your Disney hotel.

Hi guys
I'm going in november and hoping to go 3 times next year (poss april, june and early november), this may seem like a silly question but does the annual passport run for exactly a year from when you buy it? So if I bought it say on my last day (25th November) would it run to November 2012? I think it would (common sense would say so), just wanted to make sure it wasn't jan - dec and the pro-rata'd depending on when in the year you buy it???
I know I wouldn't benefit from buying it when i arrive as i already have 9 day park tickets included in my hotel costs.
Thinking about it I might be better waiting until i go and buying it at the start of my trip then maybe so I don't lose out on days.
Also, what's availability and pricing like on room only disney hotels? Is there much of a difference and am I right in thinking you can only book room only 3 months in advance? I seem to recall when I booked my holiday this year i asked about room only (with intentions of buying us all AP's) but was told they only release room only availability 3 months in advance.
Thanks for your help

if you have full park tickets included in your November trip, there isn't any point in buying your AP until the first day of your proposed trip in April 2012 - it will then expire in April 2013.

usually an onsite hotel package (including park tickets) is cheaper than booking room only with an AP - because packages are discounted, with an AP room only booking your are only getting an AP discount off the full rack rate (which is very expensive). Its always worth calling to ask for the room only rate, but I haven't found it cheaper with an AP over a package since 2007.

an AP gives you the most benefits if you use it as a park ticket, for your discounts on food (10% on all your party's counter and table/buffet service meals at DLP), 20% discount on your souvenir shopping if you have a Dream AP, and if you are flexible enough to stay offsite (where you can go room only with other agents apart from Disney and pay, for example, less than £60 per night per room for a 4-star associated hotel - or less than £40 for Premier Classe etc).
In my experience, because the full price of room only onsite with Disney is set so high, even the maximum 35% AP room only discount will usually still be more expensive than a discounted Disney package. Sometimes, Expedia sell onsite room only (usually for winter dates) so an AP is great for your park ticket then, combined with Expedia room only rates (less than AP rate through Disney strangely).

i didn't make the experience. as dream ap holder you have often special offers for hotel rooms up to 40 or 50%. so it's possible to book a room at a disney hotel for about 100€ per night. if the disney hotel is too expensive the hotel like kyriad or explorer are reccomendable. there you get a room from 80€ per night. we save with our dream ap really a lot of money instead of booking a package.

The UK is one of the countries which does get discounted packages (it may not be the same for Germany). 100 euros per night for a 2 star hotel onsite is expensive to me - I usually have park hopper tickets included for the duration of stay for 3 nights/4 days, one adult one child, for less than 300 euros.

Hello :) have just joined up after reading all these inteeresting posts regarding the annual fantasy passports! I visit DLP around 2-3 times per year, my son has speical needs and its great for him. Plus im disney mad like most of us here are :D
Anyway down to buisness i was told about annual passes by a cast member last week, and giving it some thought i definately think i will buy me and my son one. Few questions if anyone would be kind enough to reply..?
Firstly; how much would one be for a 3 year old? I'm aware he would get a discount for being registerd disabled.
Sencondly; is anyone visiting between 5th-8th december this year? If so let me know, as have heard about the sponser thing.
Any additional info much appreciated. Keely

Hi Keely,
3 year olds are free. 4 and up cost the same price as an adult. However, I have found over the years, if you are going to make multiple trips and are not too bothered about being on site, then APs work out better. Also be aware, no discount discounts apply to APs as far as I am aware, just normal tickets.

you do need a park ticket/annual pass for any child aged 3 or over (under-3s are free).
I'm not aware of any reduction in price for an annual pass for a registered disabled person pixie dust, maybe you should clarify that with Disney before committing yourself to annual passes.

I stll think from what iahve red it is worthwhile getting i have looked at expedia website and can get a hotel cheyenne for 4nights and eurostar of their own website all together 210 wich i think is very good.
How do u travel & book your hotel ? I wonder if it will be cheaper using the discount for disney hotels when i get our a.p? Im not sure how it all works yet lol. keely

you won't get a better room only price than the Expedia winter midweek price, not even from Disney themselves. Its worth calling Disney to ask what the price would be for room only with your AP, but don't be surprised if its more expensive than a package with them would be.
I always book my travel separately from my hotel/tickets for DLP.

Thanks for that again elaine, brill advice :) expedia seems really cheap, it does say something about local taxes to be paid to hotel whats that about and how much roughly? i cant wait to return and get my pass doing some calcualtions i should save about half the price every time i visit by doing eurostar & hotel seperate! Casnt believe i have visited on countless occasions and never new about what you could save, suppose ive been in the dark for sometime!? lol... keely

local taxes at all hotels in France, even the onsite Disney hotels, are around 2 euros per adult per night. We've stayed room only onsite booked through Expedia before, and weren't charged any local taxes at all :) .

It is easy to lose track with the APs. I have been about 57 times now, of those I think I bought a package 4 times. I remember one year, with lost of advance planning, we were at DLP every 6 to 8 weeks (though back then they offered a lot more streetmousphere and live entertainment). Now we are content to go once a year and travel elsewhere. But the APs do work out well if going for more than 4 days in a year, or staying off site with a car.

57 blimey! thats alot i think i have been around 20times, i have been twice this yr and going december.. i visit more now i got my son he has disabilities and is the ideal holiday for him as theres lots for him to c and so and disney cater so well for guests with disabilites. we go for 4days usually but once i buy the annual pass i will be able to afford a longer stay as its so much less than the package price im used too. love the photo of haunted mansion btw what a classic ride! keely

Yep, the most cost effective way we find even going once a year is to maybe go June or Summer in one year and then Easter the following. Even if you do not go in between, it can save you a fortune. Add in things like the free parking, and discounts on food and drink, it is a good deal.
and agreed, they cater very well for disabilities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elaine is correct, the price for AP's generally go up by about €10/year but as the prices for a stay at DLP go up, then your discount margin also goes up! ;)

You can buy temporary AP's and still get any discounts for booking hotels, when you buy one over the phone they will give you an AP number then at the park gates you buy all your ap's, go to the passport bureau and they will then make up your final AP's although when we went in April, it took over 1½ hours to get them processed.

Also, do we need to be showing proof of address, or just passports? as they are aged 11,12 and 16 they may not really have anything official.

yes, you will need a letter from their parent giving permission for them to get an annual pass. Don't worry though, you can still buy them their passes as long as you have this letter. Only their passports (and yours) are needed for ID purposes when you are buying the passes.

I guess just a simple :"i name of mum, give permission to my name to purchase annual passes for names of girls" would be sufficient?
sorry for the trillion questions - I have been to dlp many times, but always on a package and this is my first time buying ap's and don't want to get anything wrong - plus this is the first time the 3 girls have ever been abroad and they are all sooooooo excited to be going to disney, i really don't want anything to go wrong!

are you bringing them over from the UK with you? You should get a letter from the girls' parent for however you're travelling too, saying you have permission from them to be travelling with the girls. I've taken my niece with us a couple of times to DLP, I had a letter from her mum the first time and wasn't asked for it. Typically though, on my second trip with her I didn't get a letter from her mum, and I was asked for it when we flew back into Luton airport from Paris. Both me and my niece were briefly questioned at passport control, and I was told then that I should have a letter of permission from her parent to take her abroad.
If you make sure in the letter you are all named, and your nieces' mum gives her full details and contact details, that will be fine I'm sure.

No,they are flying on their own!

Hey guys!
Got a little question about the sponsorship AP thing :). On the website you can download a form which you need to fill in and such. How ever this form says it is valid till November 2011. And I am planning to visit DLP in January with 3 friends who are going to get a Fantasy Passport. So that means I should be able to get the free year thanks to the sponsorship. But does any of you happen to know where I can find the form that does not say it expired in November 2011? :P

DLP are not great at updating their site with up-to-date forms. Try looking again in January just before you go - if its still not up to date just ask at the AP office when you are at DLP for the sponsor form to fill in there.

Hi everyone. I understand from reading on here that If i book a hotel room only using dream pass for one person, I can then add 2 extra people to the room on arrival and pay only the extra tax. My question is, will these add on people also get breakfast, or will this need to be paid for separtly. And is this really always ok to do? I am a bit nervous in case we arrive and are told that we have to pay for the extra people to stay in the room :?
Thanks

My AP says valid from 5th November to 4th November - so I can use it up to and including 4th November.

it is always okay to do this, please don't worry. I have not had to pay any extra for breakfast at the hotel for the extra guests added at check-in. The only thing I'd advise is, phone the hotel a week or so before you arrive, to tell them you are adding 2 more guests when you check in. That way you know you will be allocated a room suitable for 3 people (some hotel rooms have one king bed rather than 2 doubles, even though they are not advertised).
If you're booking room only with AP discount rather than a hotel/tickets package for one person, you should be able to just list the number of guests on the booking when you book, it should'nt make any difference to the price you will pay.

ok, last question i think :D
If we arrive after 7pm which i believe is when the annual passport office closes, can we still buy one day tickets and use them against the cost of the passports the following morning? (we should get to the park at around 6pm, just incase of delays, I would like to know). Dont want to buy tickets just for a couple of hours if they are not redeemable.
Thanks

Hi all, been looking for a Forum like this for ages and then you appeared like magic! Anyway we are looking to go back to Disney in June, as we purchased Annual Passes last August. Called the Disney team from the UK to re-book once returned, and got told to try in November, as the new pricing for AP members wasn't available. When we called again in November we got a price for June, to find out that Davy Crockett will no longer be providing breakfast from the end of March.
Just tried today (Dec 29th) to get a price to be told pricing is not available for AP members for June and got tols the price we had received was not a valid price.
Any ideas when best to call to get a price for Disney Hotels (Davy Crockett or Cheyenne) as we stayed at the Kyraid (which was fine) but want the Disney feel again and love the Davy Crockett Camp, but NO BREAKFAST, it's a bit of a ****. Any advice we would be grateful.
Cheers Waccer :)

Hi waccer, we almost always stay in the Davy Crockett now and to be fair we've been expecting the removal of "breakfast" for probably a couple of years, lets face it, it's pretty pants compared even to Santa Fe's breakfast. We always take some bacon, and sausages and a normal thick white Hovis loaf with us, baked beans, tinned tomatoes - and a cold box :) . We used to use the breakfast at DCR as a kinda packed lunch type thing but it's no great loss. I'm guessing the reason you can't get a price for DCR in June yet is that it's into the 20th anniversary period and the prices have been hiked somewhat. I would phone again for a price and keep trying every other day - I've lost count of the amount of times I've been told there's no discount prices available for such and such a date only to find it's usually the fact that the telesales person doesn't know the system well enough.
We're going in January and when I first enquired I was told that there were no discounts on offer for AP Dream holders which I questioned but again was told no discounts. I rang the next day and WITH our APD discount the price went from £1036 to £425 ;) - stick with it till you find someone with a pulse on the other end of the phone :)

not as far as I'm aware (because Earl of Sandwich isn't a Disney franchised restaurant). You can get 10% discount with a shareholders card though.

Hi all im a newbie to this forum, just a query i was wondering if anyone can help.
We are heading to DLP on 7th Mar until 11th, we went last year with our 2yr old on the end of our honeymoon and as my hb had id with him he purchased an annual fantasy pass.
There is a group of us going, 8 adults, 2 children (11 & 5) and 2 infants (1 & 2)
firstly my son will be 3 on the 9th of march will he be classed as a child then or still free?
secondly if we use the AP for sponsorship for 3 adults - can we still then use the same AP to get discount for the rest of the tickets (4adluts and 2 Children) ? or will they be full price?
sorry for the long post :oops:

that is a good question!
Last time, we asked at CustomerDesk and they told us, that we can only sponsor three persons! BUT, I also have heard that it is possible to sponsor more then just three. That is a situation I always have at DLRP, one question and a couple of diffrent answers :-D
I have sponsored three APs and would like to offer another friend the 10% off for his AP ;)

as long as you have had your own AP for at least one calendar month you can sponsor other people's AP purchases (they don't have to be friends or family) and they get 10% off their AP cost, and if you sponsor 3 you get your own AP extended free for an additional 12 months.

No, just the normal 25% discount you get with the AP: '25% toute l'année dans un Hôtel Disney '. No hotel l'elysee for me

Don't you just love Disney's blurb there "25% all year in one Disney hotel" - because that means its often 25% off only one of the onsite hotels on any given dates, with the others getting you possibly 10% off the rack room price with your AP.

when you buy an annual pass what form of ID do you need to take with you? My passport is in my maiden name so will this cause an issue as I intend to buy my annual pass in my married name so I can use my shareholders discount.

ulak, The only passport that gives you entry for EMH is Dream, Fantasy will not get you in! Likewise free luggage storage is only for Dream passport holders, the guest storage is to the right of the park as you face it, just beyond the Disneyland Hotel. You can still use this when you arrive, but you will have to pay. If you are arriving by train it is best to leave your luggage at the railway station, this will save you carrying down to the park and then back again! Your photograph on your passport is taken in the bureax when you buy your ticket, you do not have to supply your own.

wow just goes to show the different experiences folk can have - on our last trip in November the locker room attendant couldn't have been more helpful. I didn't have change on either time we used the locker room, he got my change for me from the cash machine inside the room, and he happily informed me my 2 holdalls, 2 winter coats, and a carrier bag would all fit in the smallest locker (4 euros). He was right :D !

you children's passports would be okay for proof I'd think, as they would have their parents names listed on the passports as next of kin, yes? Or copies of their birth certificates, which would name their parents?
For adults, if you have different surnames but live at the same address, I guess you'd have to take a drving licence or a utility bill, something showing that each adult lives at the one address.

When we bought of Passports we brought letters, marriage certificates (Wife's Italian passport has her maiden name), kids birth certificates - didn't matter. The cashier said we Needed to have the same surname. Maybe I had bad luck in my choice of cashier, but the women in the Passport office didn't feel like there had been any injustice.
So good luck, but don't count on getting the 20% family discount

It does cost 20 euros to join and Brits on another forum seem have had good experiences using this company. You will be sent a temporary passport that you activate at the park and the start date will be the date of your first visit. They also do free annual passes for under 7's and discounts on other passes.

We are travelling from Australia in first week of December this year and want to stay on property for 6 nights. I was thinking an AP would be great as we could cash in on some great discounts particularly accommodation wise but it seems the whole booking process is a lot different to WDW Orlando. Being in Australia does it mean that I can only buy an accommodation/ticket package from Disney or can I buy an AP and just book the hotel directly and get the AP discount applied. Any advice would be great, thanks.

From what I can work out, Disneyland Paris have a corperate offer which ends 29th February 2012. http://collectivite.disneylandparis.fr/ ... ndex.xhtml (http://collectivite.disneylandparis.fr/nos-offres/billets-dates/index.xhtml%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I'm pretty sure that this offer and the promo parcs offer are linked, so would expect it end at the same time. I paid 149 euros each + 1.50 euros booking fee. I joined and paid for the tickets last night and had the e-tickets emailed to me this afternoon. You have 6 months to activate the tickets and they start the day of your first visit.

no, you can buy an AP when you arrive, and you can call Disney for a room only price with an AP. However, don't be surprised if the the AP room only price is the same or even more expensive than a package price would be. The most flexible way of doing DLP is having an AP and staying offsite but in one of the very nearby hotels with a free shuttle bus (and not booked through Disney).
The other way to do it, depending on how many are in your party, is to book one adult (plus any free kids) in on a hotel/tickets package, then add the other members of your party to the room when you check in (bearing in mind maximum room occupancy is 4 guests plus one infant per room) and buying APs when you arrive.
also remember you can book online through any country's website, so it might be worthwhile checking out other country's discount offers. also, Expedia usually have onsite room only at a cheaper price than DLP does themselves, for December through to Feb/March each year. these rooms may not be available yet though, its a bit soon (possibly have a look around September for rooms in December).

I have stumbled across the offer from Promoparcs for 1 free child's (under 7) Annual Pass for every adult one bought. My twin daughter's will be 7 in January 2013. If my wife and I were to buy Annual Passes when will the free child's pass run out. Will it be on their 7th birthday or 12 months fro the date it as first use. Thanks

I've got a question of my own: Is it still possible to renew an annual pass online? The wording on the official page suggests so - "Renouvelez en ligne, c'est plus rapide !" - as does the PDF form you can download, but there's no actual link to be found anywhere. Have they closed this down or am I just being thick?

I'm pretty sure that this offer and the promo parcs offer are linked, so would expect it end at the same time. I paid 149 euros each + 1.50 euros booking fee. I joined and paid for the tickets last night and had the e-tickets emailed to me this afternoon. You have 6 months to activate the tickets and they start the day of your first visit.[/quote]
Thanks for sharing this amazing offer - I just exchanged my pdf email for any actual annual pass this weekend - 149euros was a great price for a Dream Annual Pass - even better than my shareholder discount I was expecting to use. Merci!

be careful - if you activate any Fantasy Annual pass after 28th March (no matter where you bought it) it comes under the new rules for Fantasy passes, more blockout dates etc.

I think (but I'm not sure, you'd need to check) that you need at least one Dream AP in your group to get the free parking at the Disney car park (I don't take the car so have never checked that).
From what I read on DISboards, there are no more free AP for children deals on either promoparcs or cemultiavantages at the moment, until May. Maybe you have found something different though, which works with your friends plans for April.

fantasy passes have a lot more blockout dates on them for the 20th anniversary edition though. Never mind, you have your Dream pass, and that gives you the maximum access and discounts :) .

We are visiting DLP in August and want to buy annual passes. We had annual passes before. We buyed them 2 jan 2010 (so they expired 1 jan 2011) Is it possible we could be sponsered again like last time? I read something about you can't be sponsored if you had a annual pas for at least two years prior. Is this 2 years from buying the pasports? (jan 2010) or 2 years from expiring
My daughter is the only one who never had an annual pass before, she becomes 4 years the day before we will visit DLP. So she can be sponsored anyway?
Is there anyone who goed to DLP on August 19? And want to sponsor her? (or us if it's possible)

its 2 years from the expiry of your old passports, so that would be January 2013 before you could be sponsored again. Your daughter's pass can be sponsored though, as she has not held an annual pass yet.

This is my first post on this forum... At first, Thank you for all the great annual passport information.
I am going for my 16nd trip to Disneyland on 17nd April. This time we decided to buy annual passes (fantasy)
Our plan was to go to Disney studios at first (because that is the only day Armageddon will be open during our trip). We are ariving about 3 o'clock I think.I know there is a place where you can buy you're annual passes in the studios but dlrpmagic say's that the opening hours are infrequently. Do we have a big change it will be open then? And when it is not opened, is it possible to buy temporary annual passes at the gate of the studios and exchange them for real ones when we are in Disney parc?
Sorry for my bad english
Ow.. By the way, is there anyone in the parc the 17nd april who wants to sponsor us and earn a stamp ? ? :ears: [-o<

Hi,
We have bought these Annual Passport Francilien online on 30th of March 2012 and planing to visit DLP on 14 April 2012. We already have received our passports via post and these are valid from 30/3/2012 to 3/4/2013.
I heard that Francilien passports cannot be used on the two days following purchase. Can someone please explain this? Our purchase date is 30th March, so we should be able to use these on 14, 15 and 16 April right?
Also I have to add parking (30Euros) for this passport, how this would be done? I do not see any option to add parking online?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Merged :-)
Your two days following purchase would have been 31st March and 1st April, so you don't need to worry about that rule at all having purchased in advance. It's really only there to stop people exchanging 1-day tickets in the parks for this Annual Passport, rather than buying 3 or 4 day tickets.
I'm not sure how the included parking is added, so if no one here can help I'd advise you as at the Bureau Passeport Annuel near the entrance to Discoveryland when you arrive.

Hi Anthony and all!
First, DLRPmagic is probably the best place for me to plan my next Disneyland Paris visit. I haven't been there for a long time and am now really excited. And this board is great to make my visit perfect! Thanks for the efforts!
I have a similar question. Probably it has been answered here already but I just lost overview. :) We plan to stay in the resort for 4 days. 2 days, we will be in the Parks with a 2-day-Hopper-Ticket. Now I realized, that the Francilien annual passport is just 119 Euros. That's even cheaper than the 2-day-ticket itself (ignoring some of the online and shareholder offers), can this be true? I thought, it's reasonable only when you stay 3 days? Our visit is on May 20th and 21st, so it's not within the blockout dates, I guess.
Now, I wonder how I can buy the passport in advance (or at least before the 2 blocked days when buying it at the counter) without being in France. Is there a way here and what's the best? DLRPMagic states, that tickets might be also bought over the reservation desk phone line?
- Now, can I buy passports in advance there and let them send them to me to Germany?
- If so, how do they get my photo?
- Paying via credit card over the phone?
- Do they speak English? My french is terrible.
I also realized I can order a temporary passport online but I need to have a French address (which I don't). I don't know if it's possible to "fake" a French address just for a temporary one, so I can have my passport earlier (and probably change my address later when I get my real one in the park).
If this doesn't work, I guess the only other way would be to buy the Fantasy passport at entrance. But that would be only reasonable if we would stay for at least 3 days or plan another trip, which for the moment is out of the question. :(
Edit: I changed my post a little bit, as I realized, that the Découvert passport has been cancelled. :(

Okay, it seems I found it out myself. I guess I can use the order form from the website and order a Francilien via postal mail. I think, the 15% from the shareholder's club can also be applied to the amount (so this should put me somewhere around 100 € then, someone correct me if the discount can't be applied to the Francilien). Now let's see if my APs can reach me in time. ;)

You can actually buy your AP's at the front gate, then go to the passport bureau and have the proper one made up while you wait. We did this when we bought our last AP's.

yes, you need to buy all your 5 family passes at the same time, and if you buy either fantasy passes or dream passes at DLP itself, you get the 20% family discount (plus 15% shareholders discount as well, if you are shareholders in Eurodisney SCA).

AFAIK the restriction dates just mean you cannot access the parcs with your AP on these days, parking should not be affected, any1 plz correct me if I am mistaken

Quote from: "HayHay"what is a blackout day? i know it means you cant use an annual pass but is there any reason?
Basically, the reasons for blackouts are major holidays. AP Dream is the only one that works on days like Xmas eve or on New Year's. Fantasy and Francilien will not be working mostly 2-5 days before and after, as well as ON the holiday itself. This is why these passes are cheaper than Dream, because you have a lesser number of days where the pass can be used.

Okay, apologies if this is covered in this thread, but I haven't found it yet.
There is quite a few of us going in October for two nights, three days. Two of those days are blackout days for the Fantasy pass so we would have to get the Dreams one if we go down that route.
So two questions.
There are nine of us going, all family but in three different family units. Presumably we would qualify for the 20% discount. You don't have to be immediate family I take it. We have two surnames between us.
And can you buy these over the phone in advance or does it need to be in person once you get there?
Thanks in advance.

You can buy or expand/change your AP by phone, though it takes a little clicking around the site(s) to find the number- and I already forgot it again, sry :?
Just make sure to call 1-2 months prior to your visit, as they need to send you the forms and you need to send them back. French mail isn't the fastest unfortunately

Hi Storyreel
Just be aware that you have to live at the same address and be able to show proof of this. We bought Dream passes in January for myself, hubby and son plus 3 nieces but could not get the family discount because we do not all share the same address :(
Happily a very kind forum member met us at DLP so we were able to get the 10% sponsership discount.
When in October are you going? maybe other forum members are there at the same time who would be able to sponser you. I will be there 15 - 19th october and we could sponser 9 people.

Our dates don't coincide with yours unfortunately, though thank you for the offer. It looks like we may well stay on site so will go for a room and ticket package.
Also, thank you Thaliel for your helpful advice.

Silly question, but I thought it best to ask.
The pass works like a hopper ticket right? like you're able to enter and reenter the park as many times as you like throughout the day, just on one of the days of the holiday, I'm planning to enter the park for the EMH and then go to paris midday, then return for dreams that night :)
Also, how long does it take to get one? I'm looking to go august :) Is there an opening/closing time for the office? And are you able to pick which characters you have on your pass? Like, I've seen one of the fantasy passes with peter pan on and he's one of my favourite characters so I want one with him on :P

You can certainly use your passport as a hopper ticket, queues to buy vary according to time of the day, I've heard that the passport office in the studios is one of the "least busy". I'm afraid I have no idea if you can choose your character, my current pass which is decouverte has Ham the pig on it!

Came back from a 10 day trip earlier this month. By far the most cost effective entry to the park was the dream annual pass. We got 5 for the prive of 4! We could use it any time and we got discounts on restaurants and shops. We had a great time and three of us are going back, this time more budgeting required but obviously entry to park sorted!. :D

Good evening, first timer to the site in need of some expert assistance. We arrive in Disney on the 2nd of August and I was hoping to arrange to meet someone from here for sponsorship but on reading through some of the earlier posts it would seem that we cannot get the discount due to our last annual passes expiring on the 28.08.10. :cry: Is this the case? Could i ask, does this also apply to the 20% discount for buying 5 annual passes in one go and if not, are there any restrictions to this?

thats right, you can't be sponsored for new annual passes, in your case, until after 29th August 2012. But you can use the 20% discount for the family passes (ie buying 5 passes of the same type at the same time, for members of your family who all live at the same address). Remember you will need passports or other ID for each person getting an annual pass, when you go to buy them at the park.

I think that you have to be assigned to the Club first.

I buy "Club card" on my previous purchase of AP Dream. I must buy it again?

Dear Ulak,
I just think you have to log on to the web. When i'm opening it in French I see the tab "adhérez ici" that means "join here".
After i think you will be able to add the pass - I mean I hope so.

I have a question, me and my family want to buy ''Dream Annual Passes' when we go to Disney in August.
We're wondering whether we should bring some kind of document or something with us except for our ID's? Or pictures of ourselves?
We've never bought Annual Passes at Disney, so we don't really know how it goes.
We're planning to buy tickets for 2 parks-one day when we go buy the annual passes, and I heard that when you buy the annual passes, you get the money of your park ticket back, is that true?
Help would be much appreciated. :)

theres no need to buy one-day park tickets if you're going to buy annual passes. You each need your passport or some form of photo ID when you go to get your annual passes at DLP. They take your photo and print and laminate it on your permanent annual pass.
How many of you are in your family, who will be buying annual passes all at the same time?

Hello everyone!
My sister and I will be in DLP on 29th, 30th and 31st of October this year and are interested in buying annual passes.
Is anyone going to be there on those dates?
Also, without having to read back through all the previous pages, what is the best price/offer for buying an annual pass?
Thanks!

Hiya fairymom,
We are at DLP between 28 October & 02 November if you need sponsoring for annual passes, We can sponsor upto 6 people. We have the dream passes and with no blackout days it gives us the flexibility to visit during school holidays, if you are visiting on 29/30/31 October you will need to buy the dream pass @ 199 euros less the 10% discount, with the current exchange rate it will cost approx. £150 each which in my opinion is cheap & you get all the perks.
If you are interested you can sent me a private message to arrange a meeting
Take Care

you buy your annual pass at the ticket booths, or at guest services, or a bureau donald. these are all at the entrance to the main park. You pay for your annual passes, you get a temporary ticket, this gives you entry to the park through the turnstiles, then at some point that day you go to the AP office in the main park with your ticket, receipt and passport, and you get your permanent photo laminated annual pass.

This is my first time posting, so I hope I'm doing this right.
We will be arriving at Disneyland Paris on Friday 13 July 2012, in the evening. We want to buy 4 Dream Annual Passes. Will anyone be there who would like to sponsor us so they can get the free year and we can get the 10% discount?
Thanks in advance. R

Hotel Discount?
We are visiting DLRP for a couple of days in September and will be purchasing annual passes (Dream) at the gates using our shareholder's discount. Simple so far...
However, we are trying to book for November a longer stay - six nights at Hotel New York. I rang the French booking number and got a price including the Annual Pass discount but was unable to book as I didn't have the annual pass number (I assume this is printed on the card).
Has anyone managed to book a discounted room prior to having the actual annual pass? Any idea if it can be done with just the passes/vouchers purchased through promoparc or similar?

Hi
I have a few questions if someone wouldnt mind answering them for me.
I went to Disneyland last year in November for my 21st birthday and had an absolutely amazing time and after seeing all the Christmas decorations up this year i would love to see the Halloween decorations.
I want to go for 3 days and will be spending all 3 days in the parks.
So here are my questions:
Is it better to get a annual passport or just buy tickets?
If i buy one for myself will the person i am going with be able to get in for the EMH without having a pass or just me?
and also what restaurants can you use the discount in? can you use it in the disney village?

Welcome to the forum!
Without wishing to put you off, last years Halloween decorations were a pale imitation of how they used to be! wether they will be improved this year, who knows?
An Annual passport is worth buying if you plan to return in the next 12 months and if you intend spending a lot of money on merchandise, food etc, it can pay for itself in one trip!
Anyone travelling with you would not get EMH and you would have to hold a Dream or Fantasy passport to get them yourself.
You qualify for 10% discount in restaurants in the park and Annettes diner, the Steakhouse and La Grange at Billy Bobs with either Fantasy or Dream. With Dream, you also get 10% at King Ludwigs, Starbucks, Mc Donalds, Rain Forest Cafe and Earl of Sandwich. Only one of you has to have an AP to qualify for the discount for both of you.
Hope you enjoy your visit.

I wanted to go for 4 days, with the "4 days for the price of 3 ticket". It works out £20 cheaper for me to get an annual pass which gives me 2 hours extra every morning, so yes, I would deffo recommend both you and your friend getting one!

If it has not changed over the years, they will reduce the price of parking from the final price of the AP when you show the parking ticket, or, if you have already fully paid your AP, they will refund you the price of parking (parking has a fixed price per day)

Hello everyone, I have a question.
Next week I'm going to Disneyland Paris for about 5 days, so I decided it would be cheaper to get a Dream annual passport, since I also plan to come back in 2013 for my birthday.
But, there's a problem: I'm underage, and I'm going with my best friend and her mother, not my parents, and on the conditions I read that to get an annual passport I must be with my legal tutor. So what do I do? Is it ok if I'm just with my friend's mom? Or if I take a written permission by my parents with me?

We belong to the club and know that we get 15% discount on our AP's. How do we order the 159 Euro pass as we need to be able to use it directly? Is the shareholder the best discount for the AP's?

We are going to be in Paris but our AP's don't allow us in the park on the 16th. Would you be able to purchase them the night of the 15th? Or is the 16th the only time?
I would very much be able to sponsor you. I will try again to send a PM to you.

Hello! They must be physically present when a person buys stock in Annual Passport? One person from our group can not go with us and the AP has purchased from Promoparcs. It can be exchanged for AP DLP without him? (im sorry for english, i use Google translator for this) Thank you!

hey guys firstly thank you for the info already on this site, i learnt alot just scanning though.secondly if you get sponsered can you combine the sponser discount with the 20% discount for buying 5? if not if you get sponsered is it 10% per pass so for 5 = 50% or am i getting carried away lol xx

No, every person who needs an annual pass must be present to get their permanent annual pass at DLP. They must show their ID (passport for example) and their photo is taken by digicam by DLP staff to put on the permanent annual pass.

yes, exactly the same process, so children need to be present at DLP to get their permanent annual passes too.

Have a trip planned for next week (Aug 13-17) with at least 2 days dedicated to Disney! Wanted to ask if AMERICAN EXPRESS cards are accepted for purchasing the ANNUAL PASS (Fantasy or Dream...have not decided as of yet)...but we are on a budget (US Military family) and absolutely require use of my AMEX on this trip. Thanks! Mike

your sponsor has to be with you when you pay for your annual pass, so you'd need your sponsor to meet you at the ticket booths at 8am for you to be able to be sponsored and get your ticket to use EMH on your first day.

If i dont get a sponsor if i go down at 8 i will be able to get in for EMH . Also if i get in for EMH is the place inside to swap them for the real passes open at that time?

I don't know to be honest, hopefully someone who has done this will be able to let you know.
One thing though - I wouldn't go down the sponsorship route, I'd buy my annual passes from cemultiavantages before you go, as they are already discounted by around 25%. You get a temporary ticket (it says annual pass on it) which you take into the AP office with your passports on your first day in the parks, and exchange for your full permanent annual pass.

check DLRPMagic blackout dates first - if any of your dates are blackout for Fantasy pass, you'll need the Dream one.

Where can you get a Fantasy for only 119 € ?
There is this website though, but you need to pay 20 € fees for a year, I can't remember what site it was from ...
Some French site.

Have just brought a fantasy pass with free under 7 pass from promo parcs for 131euros inc delivery. There is no joining fee so thats good and the pass is supposed to arrive in the next 7 days. So x fingers it all goes well we go to the park for our first day on aug 29th so I will let you all know if it arrives on time and if it all works fine for us. Wish me luck cos it sems to good to be true although other people have said it worked for them

Ah yes, that was the site!
I wanted to get a Fantasy pass there, but since I would only need that, it wasn't worth paying an additional 20 € for it.
It would be cheaper to get a Fantasy with a 10% discount.
Though, I'm changing my mind to a Dream pass, lol.

Ok so promo parcs has no joining fee if you pop the curser in the box next to the amount of passes and press enter it takes you through to registering page register for free. I then went back to the page after that through my conformation email and clicked 1 produit next to the shopping three trolleys in the top left corner. When I got stuck the union jack was equally as useless for me I copy pasted into google translate. My pass is already on its way left France today now is the nerve wracking bit its with royal mail and we leave in 16 days so I have no finger nails left eek.

I was a bit intrigued as I bought a Decouverette pass in january to cover my trip in April when I stayed offsite without Passes and this was cheaper than buying a three day pass. I wonder what would happen if I found three people to sponsor, how could they extend my pass? as it is no longer available. Interesting point.

Does the 20% off family price include people you dont live with? If my mum gets a pass in Oct can i get 20% for being a family member or do i have to go with 10% sponsorship?

The 20% off family discount for an AP purchase is very specific. You have to be buying 5 fantasy or dream annual passes at the same time, for members of the same family, all resident at the same address. Thats the only way to be able to use the 20% family discount.

Quote from: "Nicolai"I haven't seen this being discussed anywhere so I thought I'd share this important information:
Disneyland Paris has extended the great Extra Magic Hours privilege - formerly only available with the Dream Pass AP and since April with the new 20th Anniversary Fantasy Pass AP - now to the 'old' Fantasy Pass AP (bought before 29.03.2012) as well:
When I was there in August, so one of the cast member on Extra Magic Hours not let my friend with her Fantasy AP (bought in August 2012)! I told him that EMH are now for Fantasy AP, but he pointed to his badge and that he must well know .. : ( bad beginning of the day, but after a while it was replaced by another cast member and friend passed completely without problems!
It's a bad experience what can go wrong and still start the day of it You do not have a good feeling, because people were looking at us like a thief :(

promoparcs will usually ask you once you've purchased your annual passes, how many free children's passes you want. Usually with promoparcs, once you've bought the annual passes, you have 6 months to convert them to permanent passes at DLP. They will provide that information though when you buy your passes on their website.

you have to be an annual pass holder for at least one calendar month before you can start sponsoring new AP purchases.

you phone the usual Disney booking line, tell them you have an AP, and they will give you the prices. Don't be surprised if its more expensive with your APs, as even with the maximum 35% off your hotel for your dates, the package price might have a bigger discount and so you may be paying more with your AP.

no, unfortunately they can't. You can't get the 10% sponsor discount, and no-one can get a stamp for sponsoring you, if you've had an annual pass in the 2 years before buying a new one.

I think both promoparcs and cemultiavantages are still running the free child's AP deal too, and the prices are still a little cheaper on those sites.

Hi, we have just returned from Disneyland Paris. I bought four adult Dream Annual Passes for €159 each, plus €11 booking fee, from Paris Billets. They issued me with e-tickets, which were very easily converted to proper passes. We could also have had four free children's passes. I am not sure if the children needed to be related to us, but it seems not. I wish I had come across this site before going because we could have met people who might have been able to use them.
We feel that the savings we made were excellent, not least the saving on parking and food. We also used the Disney car park when going into Paris - much easier to get there from the Park than the local station where we were staying. Will keep an eye on this site when it comes to renewal time!

Hi all!
I'm going to Disneyland november 14-16 and I have a question about the extra magic hours. I'm planning on buying an Annual Passport Fantasy, which DLRPMagic's site says is valid for the extra magic hours, even when not staying in a Disney hotel (I'm staying at Kyriad, with a shuttle service to Disneyland). However, the magic hours calendar (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/calendar/extra-magic-hours/) on DLRPMagic says that on november 15 and 16 there are no extra hours.
But DLRPMagic's monthly park hours (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/calendar/monthly-park-hours/) and Disney's own calendar (//http://news.disneylandparis.co.uk/calendar/index.xhtml?#) say there are.
While I was on Disney's official website I also saw (//http://news.disneylandparis.co.uk/extra-magic-hours.xhtml) this quote: "This offer is reserved for those staying at Disney Hotels having booked a package that includes entry tickets for Disney Parks, and to holders of the Dream Annual Pass."
So I have two questions:
1. Are there extra magic hours on november 15 and 16?
2. If so, can I still use my AP Fantasy for it?
Thanks in advance!

if there are EMH on November 15 and 16, and you buy a Fantasy pass, then yes, you have access to EMH, even if staying offsite. The quote on the official Disney site is out of date (as a lot of its information can be be honest). For whether there is EMH or not, I'd go by the official park hours on the official DLP site.

I have an annual pass and am visiting at in a couple of weeks with 3 other who I am going to sponsor.
My pass expires at the begining of March. The website says I can claim my free year in person one month before my pass expires. Do this mean I have to do it in February or can I do it the day before my pass expires?
Thanks

You can renew your pass the day before it expires.
But not sooner then 1 month before it expires.
Even by mail (post) is an option, if you can't get there anymore before it expires.

Hi all newbie to the forums
I am in need of some advice please. we have visited dlp for the last 3 years and normally purchase adult annual fantasy passes online. (after days of babble fish translation the first time we went)
we purchased adult annual fantasy pass e-tickets and get child pass free.
well this year seem to have a problem my eldest is now 7 she was 7 end of June last year.
Am i right in thinking that now she can not have the free under 7 pass for adult pass purchased or can she as she is 7 we plan on visiting 27th may this year so she will still be 7.
Or do i have to buy her her own annual pass at the 125euros for the adult fantasy annual pass or does anyone know what else i can do.
many thanks to you all for any help of suggestions :)

she needs her own 125 euro annual pass now that she is 7, the free child's pass is only available to children aged under 7 years old. There is no child's price and adults price for annual passes, they are the same price once the child reaches age 7.

When we went in the summer we had to buy children passes even though 2 of the 3 children we had to pay for were under 7. They said they couldn't get in the park because we had no tickets for them at all :( (we were staying out this time) so ended up purchasing dream passes for us all- they at least gave us these at fantasy pass rate because we were a party of 11 but because 1 was married i had a different name from the rest of my family and the tickets do say must have same name to get discount.

Zee did you originally buy your adult passes through promoparcs or cemultiavantages? Its only these 2 companies who are providing the free annual passes for children aged under 7 when you buy other annual passes from them. Children aged 3 or over need a park ticket/annual pass for DLP.
If you bought all your annual passes direct from DLP, they don't offer the free annual pass for under-7s, so you would have to pay for theirs.

Hello,
I want to buy two Francilien for me and my daughter (13) via post.
I have this "bon-de-commande" filled out
http://offres.disneylandparis.fr/FR/...e-commande.pdf (http://offres.disneylandparis.fr/FR/...e-commande.pdf%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
and
a copy of my id card
a copy of my daughters id card
a copy of my credit card and
a copy of my shareholder card
Now I have read that I have to give permission that my daughter is allowed to get an AP ?
Is this true and if so how can I do/write this ?
I have ordered a AP for myself last year and everything was easy but this time it seems to get very hard to buy an AP for my daughter via post.
I need your help again.....

Hi everyone,
I want to buy Fantasy Annual Passport for four Persons. After a hint here in this Topic, it seems that Promoparcs is the most cheapest seller. Or is there another one which do you know? How is it working at Promoparcs. I order, pay and they sent me a PDF in an Email which I can use at any day till 17.08.2013 at the entrance or do they will send me an temporarily Pass by Post, which I have to change into a permanent at the Annual Passeport Bureau?
The thing behind is, that I want to go back to Disneylandin June, but I do not want to pay everything at once. So I want to order the passes now and the other things like hotel, merch and eating then in June.
Would be great to get a useful answer to my questions, Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Markus

I've been searching this thread about parking and I see that you no longer have your parking refunded on your first visit, is this because you won't have your annual passport at this time?
If I buy my passports from promoparcs etc. isn't the Temporary Pass printout enough to get through the barriers without having to pay?
I'm considering a bus trip from Magny-le-Hongre to the Park to get our Passports sorted out the day before we visit the Park properly - this might be considered child abuse I realise.. you can look at the park but we aren't stopping :)

with promoparcs and cemultiavantages you pay for your annual passes with them, they send you a temporary park ticket which you need to exchange for your permanent annual pass as the AP office in the park at DLP on your first day there.

usually if you order from promoparcs or cemultiavantages, you get 6 months from the date you order it, to change it into a permanent annual pass at DLP. Fantasy annual passes have blockout dates, so as long as you work around those for your visits to DLP, it will work out fine for you.

Nope, a temporary pass isn't enough to get you into parking. It needs to be a Passeport Annuel Definitif. HOWEVER, a cheaper option is to park at the Disney Village Vinci parking. Pay the €2,30 per hour and go into the park, do your pass first thing. Then leave the Disney Village parking and go to the theme park parking.
Why pay €15 when you can do it for less :)

My new economiser plan is to walk the 750m to the Kyriad Hotel and get the shuttle bus late afternoon, spend an hour or two in the park after we get our tickets, and then back on the shuttle.

Hi Guys, getting myself a little confused about all this annual passport thing, so im after your advice and experience. We are going to DLP on the 25th May for a week, there is a family of five of us, two adults, 3 kids aged 12, 11 and 9, we are also taking the in laws and they obviously have different surnames to us.
Now, I am looking at the fantasy annual passes....i believe as a family of 5, hope im getting all this right, get a 20% discount when buying the passes, but we cannot get the discount on the other two (the in laws) because they have a different surname.....am i about right so far??
Also, where would you buy the tickets from, disney when we get there or the other sites, i dont know their names but they are posted a few up from this one....can we do it before we go or best to do it when we are there.
I also believe we shall have to pay for the first day until we have our passes.....again, is this correcdt.
Im sorry for being vague and i hope im heading in the right direction, we are planning on more than one visit hence the annual passes...any advice would be greatly appreciated as we are total newbies to this.

you can renew up to one month in advance of the expiry date on your annual pass - so i'd get the forms now if I were you.

Does anyone happen to know the opening times of the passport bureau? (the one near Buzz)
I'm going beginning of June, to give discount to 4 people (and out of those 4, get 3 stamps for myself), but they won't arrive at the park untill 4pm.
Getting a bit scared now, the bureau might be closed already then?

how many passes do you need to buy? Also, have you looked at booking just one adult and any free kids onto the hotel you're looking at on a package, then adding the others once you get there? That could be a cheaper way of doing it. How old are the children in your party, and how many adults in total?

Hi Elaine, thanks for your response. We are or will be 7 in total, 2 adults, and 5 children, (aged 13, 8,4,2 and 6 weeks) I know I don't need a pass for the youngest two, although i'm not sure if that'll change as my 2 yr old will turn 3 during the year while we have our passes. My 8 yr old, and possibly the 4 yr old (currently being assessed) have autism, so from what i've read, I think I would pay for a pass for him/them, but we would get one adult carer free per child? we will be staying at the Davy Crockett Ranch - it's nice for us to stay together rather than have to split into 2 rooms, and it's lovely being able to have brekkie together outside on a morning. The original price i had for it was £1394, but when I priced the annual passes with the cabin booking using the discount, the price came in at £1000, unfortunately though the lady on the phone (from the disney contact number) couldn't tell me how to get the annual passes. Any advice would be very gratefully received.

okay - so you could buy APs for the 13-year old and 8 year old, and you would hopefully get free access for both of you parents as carers to the 8 year old and 4 year old (I'm afraid I know nothing about free carer tickets, I don't know how they work at all)? There is a definite advantage to buying 2 annual passes through promoparcs or cemultiavantages (fantasy passes will be fine as you are staying onsite, as blockout dates on the annual passes don't apply in your case). This is because, as well as being cheaper through those companies compared to Disney, you would get 2 kids fantasy annual passes free, which you can use for the 4-year old and nearly-3 year old.
The only problem with that is if Disney insist you have an annual pass number before booking the Davy Crockatt ranch, as you won't get the AP number until you have your permanent annual passes, which you get on your first day in the parks.
Did you look at the price for booking one adult and your 4, 2, and 6-week old into the DCR on a package? Would that be a better option for you, then you wouldn't need so many annual passes all at once?
eta - just did a quick quote - if you do it the way I suggest above with the one-adult and free kids package, it brings the Disney price down to £814 online.
Then you have one adult, 13-year old and 8-year old to add to the DCR when you arrive - absolutely no problem doing this, and theres no extra charge doing it this way.
If you are entitled to a free carer ticket every day with your 8-year old and 4-year old's tickets, then you can give your 13-year old the adult park tickets that come with the package, so you only have the 8-year old to buy an annual pass for. I'd do that through promoparcs or cemultiavantages so you get a free one that you can use for your 4-year old or nearly-3 year old.
There is another advantage to not buying all your annual passes at once too - if you do it the way I've described above with buying only one annual pass this time round, you can use that annual pass next time to sponsor up to 3 new annual pass purchases at DLP, getting 10% off the price of those annual passes, and getting 12 months free extension on the original bought annual pass (you can't do this with a free annual pass though, only one you have paid for).

When we went last year, we booked using APD discount at DCR without having to give out the APD number but were advised that we would have to produce the APD upon check-in. We simply bought temporary APD's from the window at the entrance then had them made up at the AP Bureau before we checked int DCR

I can get my 3 stamps to renew my pass soon, but the group I'm giving discount too, there are actually 4 of them.
I can just sponsor all 4 of them, right?
(and collect the 3 stamps from 3 of them)

Quote from: "nathalie"I can get my 3 stamps to renew my pass soon, but the group I'm giving discount too, there are actually 4 of them.
I can just sponsor all 4 of them, right?
(and collect the 3 stamps from 3 of them)
yes you can do that - as long as none of them have had annual passes within the last 2 years.

Hi,m just wanted to thank those who had helped me for their responses. now that i've read through them properly without 4 kids whining 'muuuuuuuum' the entire time I actually understood them! Does anyone else know if parents if disabled children get free annual passes when buying them for their children? I know that alot of parks will give a free carer ticket in teh uk, but I'm not sure if that's just for the day.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

I've not heard of anyone getting a free carer annual pass - just the free daily carer park ticket. Maybe you'd be best asking a specific question about that, separate to this annual pass thread? I think more people might see it that way.

Hi. I have booked a 5 day trip to DLP in July and was looking at the annual passes to try and save some money. I am looking at the Fantasy pass which would save me approx. €120. However the 1st day of our stay in 6th July, a day which is blocked out for the Fantasy pass. I was wondering if there is any way around this or if I buy 1 day passes for the 6th and then try to upgrade to the annual pass on the day will I be allowed a) to use the tickets that day or b) get the day passes cost refunded. The dream pass would work out more expensive than the 5 days for the price of 4 tickets. Any information or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all - I am a first time poster and while I have been to Disney in both Florida and Paris previously I never considered the annual pass before. This year, however, I am going to be staying in DLP for 5 days with my wife and 2 kids and is seems to make sense to at least look at this option. In order to save money (c€120) is would appear that the Fantasy option would be the right fit. Now the problem - the 1st day of our trip is a blockout day. My question is can I buy one day tickets and then upgrade on the 1st day to an annual pass and will I then be allowed to stay in the park/move from park to park for the remainder of that day. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

The first day of your passes validity won't count as a blockout day. So if you went to the park ticket booth on a Fantasy block out date and bought the pass. It'd be ok to enter that day. It's the day after you permenant pass has been created for you that blockout dates take effect!

Thanks for the info. Based on that is it better that I buy a 1 day ticket before I go to ensure I get in on the blockout day and then trade up to the annual pass or is it sufficient to just turn up and buy an fantasy annual pass on the day. If I buy the 1day ticket beforehand will I get a refund of this against the annual pass. THanks again

you can just buy your fantasy annual pass on the blockout date, no need to buy one-day tickets then have them transferred into annual passes.

You can also pay with a VISA at the ticket booths, where you can already ask for your AP's (and then go to the passport bureau to get the actual AP)

I believe for this you need a document from your city hall that shows you are a family all living on the same address.
I would also mention this at the ticket booth, as they might already be able to give you the discount then. Makes it a little easier.

We went in the summer- parents and brother's family (7 in total) with same surname and my family (4) with different surname, so we were going to go for Fantasy pass. My brother asked at the ticket booth and we all got dream passes with discount (we wanted 9 in total). So just ask.
I don't think it is fair that you have to have same surname because families today often have different surnames to to second marriages, step families or if parents are not married etc.

Hi guys,
I'm going to Disneyland at the end of this month. I'm the proud owner of a Dream Annual Passport and I was wondering if anyone is planning to buy an AP while I'm there. Because in that case, I can offer you a 10% discount through the sponsorship program.
I am going to be at Disneyland from the 29th of April until the 2nd of May. I am going with my brother, so together we'll be able to offer this discount to six people.
Have a nice weekend, everyone!
Enya
P.S. I thought this thread was for information on APs only, so I created a new thread in Trip Planning called "Annual Passport sponsorship/parrainnage". So I guess that thread should be considered inactive? I don't really know what the forum etiquette is in this case. :-P

We bought the Promoparcs APs and were lucky to get free under-7 year old passes for the children deal, the charge still a very reasonable €35 now for the the child passes. Worked beautifully, getting a real AP with a photograph was a nice experience due to the friendly CMs.
Little parking tip for AP holders (Fantasy and Dream only) - you can park the whole day for €2 at the Disney Village car park, which is a lot closer to the action and saved us getting soaked twice during our trip.
You drive up, get a ticket from the barrier as normal and then go straight to the car park office and have it validated. On your return your payment is only €2 for all day... whooop!

Hi everyone!
I'm actively trying to convince by DH that we need to get an AP during our next trip (we're going now in May for 2 nights, but I'd like to go back in August to meet up with my dear toonarmylass, then in September when everyone's back in school, then in October for Halloween and November for Christmas...) He's still not convinced but I hope that once we're there with our daughter (she's just turned 2) he'll finally agree to it...
My question is, what is the best way of getting the APs? I've read in the past people complaining that the process took forever... I'm afraid that if we need to wait around for some time by DH will have time change his mind.... Any tips for speeding it up?
Also, can you still get a discount with the shareholder's club card?

It depends when you go in May I guess. We bought our APs on a rainy Wednesday night in April, no queue. However, on our last day, the Saturday, the queue was so long I thought it was a line for a character meeting!
Remember that with your temporary AP you've got all day to convert into real APs, just pop in when it's quiet as you pass by Discoveryland during the course of the day. The actual process doesn't take more than 10 minutes.

To speed things up we found writing all our information down prior to going and handing it over to the cast member helped especially if ther ewas a language barrier there.

It's eather an e-mail that counts as your temporary AP untill you get your real AP's from the passportbureau (if you ordered them from online site such als Multi-advantages).
Or if you mention at the ticketbooth at the park you want an AP, you get a reciept which you need to take to the passportbureau to get your real AP's.

You enter the park and whenever you want to, go to the Passport Annuel office to get your photo taken and the real card issued.
If you buy APs online, say with Promoparcs etc, they will send you temporary APs which are valid for 6 months, and will become real APs for a year when you convert them.

For me it was totally worth it and the whole process took about 20 min. I bought the annual passport at the ticket booth and received the temporary ticket. Then I went straight to the bureau. Having all the information written down really helped. The whole process was simple and stress free.

Hi
Can someone help please?
Looking to buy dream passes on promoparcs. Trawled through a load of websites reading up on it. But I have read and understand it as that if i buy now, i have 6 months to turn the temporary pass into a full pass. I go in July so this wont be a problem. But I also read on one site buy the dream pass if i intend on using it in the next few days.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks
Can someone help please?

Hello, we want to buy 6 AP with our family for our 3 week-holiday. Do we get a discount for buying 6 passports? We are definitely one family but we do not have the same surname. ( 2 children from a former marriage).
We do know a shareholder with an AP who wil accompany us buying our AP's.
What is your advice?

Hey all,
I've just received my first ever Fantasy Annual Pass from ce multiavantages :D.
I'm just a bit worried because nowhere on the cardoard temporary ticket does it state that it is a 20th anniversary pass. I'm concerned that when I go to exchange it inside the park, I'll get the old style pass :(.
I'm staying off-site but I'm desperate to take advantage of EMHs as I'm having to visit at the end of July. I'm lead to believe that Fantasy pass holders can access EMHs despite staying off-site, if they have the newer 20th anniversary pass.
Can anyone clarify if the annual passport office now hand out 20th anniversary passes to everyone or if they still use older style ones for those who buy from ce multiavantages?
Thanks in advance.

in July when you exchange your temporary pass for the permanent one at DLP, you'll get the 20th anniversary version, because thats the only one DLP have at the moment, until the end of the 20th anniversary later in the year. They have no other version and they don't give out different versions depending on where you have got your temporary pass etc.

Hi,
I am looking to buy 3 Dream AP's for my family as we are looking to go between July 3-7th. I have two young children who will be 3 and 2 near the end of July. The site I have looked at are offering a childs AP at 35 euros when bought with an adult's but wondered If I can buy one now for my two year old as we will be going before he is 3. I know he would be free when we go but dont want to have to fork out again for a full price AP for him when we next go. Has anyone bought an AP for an under 3 before. Or could I just purchase the ap now and exchange it once he is three? I believe they have to be exchanged within 6 months but does anyone know if they have to all be exchanged at the same time as the adults?
Do they check the age of the child when the e-ticked is exchanged ?
Thanks in advance

you can buy your 2-year old's pass for 35 euros then get a permanent annual pass for him when you get the permanent annual passes for everyone else, no problem doing this.

I only know the discount counts for 5 people in the same family, don't know what happens if there are more.
You do need somekind of proof that you all live at the same adress.
Over here we can get a paper from our city hall which states that.
If it's only for 5, you should already try and calculate what would be cheaper.
The family discount, of the discount getting from an AP holder (10 % per AP) as you can't mix the 2 discounts together.

Thanks Elaine, thats great, we decided to move our dates back a week so we arrive one day before his third birthday anyway, so if there had been a problem we would have just got them the next day!
Thanks again, now we are all excited. The kids are going to love it, they get really excited watching the fireworks over the disney castle on just the tv!

Oh, another (slightly cheeky) question....
When we go next week we're going with a hotel + park tickets package (which I know means we cannot deduct the price of the park tickets from the AP). Since we're not using them to get the APs, will we be able to keep our old park tickets, and will they still be valid?
I ask because we have some friends who are thinking of joining us for one day... So instead of making them buy park tickets for the day they're with us, I thought we could just give them our old :-$

so you are going to have annual passes from the start of your trip next week?
If so, then yes, you can give your package park tickets to your friends, they will be valid for the duration of time you have booked on the package.
basically any time you are passing the AP office and they're not queued out the door, do your AP then. I'd possibly bite the bullet and do it as soon as the AP office opens (I don't know the opening times etc but City Hall would be able to tell you). Remember to take your passports with you for photo ID, you'll need them when getting your APs.

a copy of your daughter's birth certificate should do fine I'd have thought, as she doesn't need photo ID for anything else yet at her age.

Doesn't she need an international ID thing?
When I took my sister to DLRP when she was only 11, we had to get her an international ID pass at city hall.
(as of 12 years old, you get your permanent ID in Belgium, which will count in every country)

Never2old, the passport office hours this week was 10.00 to 21.30.
I arrived at the park at 20.45 on Tuesday evening and although the ticket booths were closed, I was able to pay at guest services (to the right as you face the park, next to the baggage storage and Salon Mickey) And they even phoned through to the passport office to let them know I was on the way! There was only one other customer there so I would guess 21.00 on a weekday would also be a good time to visit!
I was going to buy a Dream passport, but as they are still offering Early Magic Hours with 20th Fantasy pass I went for that and saved 40 Euros! I never visit at peak times, can't stand the crowds, so the 40 blackout days did'nt bother me.

My daughter will be 3 , 2 months after our visit but we will be taking her again next year (after she us 3) before our AP run out. At the moment they have a childs annual pass for 35 euros. Otherwise I will have to pay 159 euros just for hers when we next go.

yes you can do that, just tell the AP office you want the annual pass now for your 2-year old, when you get the others made permanent from your CEM tickets.

I can't find anywhere that will give me a price for staying at a disney hotel when booking using a pass. Is there any way i can find out, or do I have to phone? (staff last time were useless, they couldn't even say how I booked with a pass if i won't get it till i get there etc.

Annual Passes are often cheaper when bought prior to your visit via third party vendors, but for those who aren't comfortable doing this or who have left it too late, this information may be useful.
Anyone buying an Annual Pass at the park can be sponsored by another AP holder. The people buying a new AP get 10% off and the sponsor gets an extension on his pass for every three people the sponsor. A win win situation.
We would be able to sponsor people from late on 3rd August to late on 12th August. Please get in touch if you're interested.

its instead of - its up to 35% off the rack room rate for the hotel, which is usually more expensive than a package, and way more expensive than a discounted package. You don't get to take advantage of free nights, free kids, etc etc with the AP room only discount.
Its usually cheaper to book one adult into the discounted package, then add the 2nd adult at check-in, as they don't need park tickets. All you pay extra doing it this way is 2 euros per night booked, for the extra guest only, in local taxes.

yes, it is, but its not combineable with any other package offer DLP advertises - and as DLPs offers are usually at least 20% off on packages, your AP is of no use at all for package bookings.

Quote from: "DisneyManiac"So is it still 10% off for a 4 day and 3 night trip?
yes - you need to phone DLP and tell them you have an AP, and ask for the discount on the hotel/dates you want.
I don't know why you would want to use such a small discount though, and include park tickets on a package when you already have APs?

basically ignore the AP discount on DLP packages - its pointless.
EIther phone DLP ask for room only discount with your AP, or look around on online travel agents (Expedia, trivago, travelrepublic etc etc) for the onsite hotels room only without park tickets.
Or, depending on the offer DLP are doing, book a cheap package with them.

We got 35% off our hotel using our A.P. We had to state room only because they were giving us park tickets as standard. You really don't need these if you have A.P.

Hi - I will be looking to purchase annual passes for my wife, 2 children and myself on the 6th July and was wondering if there is anyone that will be there on that day that would be interested in sponsoring us. We should be there from lunchtime on. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

Hi Eric
Depending on the ages of your children, you may be much cheaper by buying the passes from CE multivantages. They currently are offeriing a childs pass for 35 euros for each adult pass bought and its valid upto the age of 11 :-)

Sites in french but with google chrome/translate, its managable

Thank you Amanda.
I will look into it as it does appear cheaper and one of my children is 11. The other is over 11 so benefit of one. My other problem is the day we arrive is a block out day and I understand that if we buy annual passes on the day at Disneyland that we are ok for that day. Do you know if that would also apply to annual passes bought from CE multivantages? Any advise greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric
Hope it is ok for me to post this here, but have you been over the the TA forum? Loads of practical info there including lots of info on annual passes

Block out dates do not apply on the day your buy your pass (or if you are staying in a Disney hotel) Or there is the Dream pass which has no black out dates of course.
The same rules apply for passes bought from CE Multivantages.

All sounds good. Just wondering if I buy the AP from CE Multivantages say today is my first day still 6th July and therefore not affected by the blockout. Sorry for all the questions - I have been to DLP a couple of times before but never done any research into tickets, APs etc. before.
Thanks for all the help.

your first day with cemultiavantages on the APs they sell you would be the first day you get them made into permanent APs at DLP - so yes, it could be 6th July if thats your first day at DLP.

The cheap tickets are now €21 for a 1 day/2 parks ticket, up from €20 earlier this year. The offer is also now limited to 5 tickets per week, 20 tickets total until 13 September. 13 July is the only blackout date. I know I'll be signing up my friends for a trip sometime soon... :D

Does anyone know if it's possible for children to become members of the shareholders club?
There are two obstacles as far as I can see-
Buying shares in a child's name.
Getting DLP to recognise the shares are held by the child, rather than them being held by an adult on the child's behalf.
Halifax don't allow shareholders under18.

Hey guys, I need some help.
I wish to buy a Fantasy Pass before my trip in July. However, we get in late to the park and I want to use my pass to get my parents the cheap 21Euro tickets for the day. However, you cannot use the pass to get tickets on the day of purchase...
I COULD get the pass on the night before, but we get in around 7 and I don't know if Donald Desk will be open or the Passplace in the park. (If the ticket machines or booths will be open)
SO 1) Can I buy the entire pass online? The French site won't allow me to change the country to England.
2) What time does Donalds Desk close?
3) Does the ticket machines allow the purchase of a ticket and then I'll run in and buy the pass at the passplace, what time does that close?
Thanks in advance!

In July the AP office will be open after 7pm, but Donalds Desk may not be. So you could either wait until you get there, and buy your pass at Guest Services then get it made permanent at the AP office inside the park that evening, or you could apply by post to DLP in advance, and have them send out your permanent AP before you go. You may not have time to do this though, as its nearly July already.
Is there a condition on what date you need to have your AP before you can use it to get the 21 euros tickets for friends? I mean, is there a qualifying date ie you need to be an AP holder before a specific date to be able to buy the cheap tickets?

We are going on the 18th-20th July - so its a month away, do you think that's enough time? (I don't care of the start date)
The only condition is that you cannot purchase the pass and use the pass to buy the cheap tickets on the same day - thats all (then there a limit but I'm not going to get near that) of what i've read. But I would like to get it in the post so even if i've had it for 2 weeks or smth then that's okay.

If you arrive the night before, you can get your ticket by paying at Guest services (beside Salon Mickey) if the ticket offices are closed and then go to the Passport office and have your card made out. I did this a few weeks ago and the AP office was open until 21.30. It may be later now as peak season approaches.

Oh thank you for that.
Well, the main person did get a problem - but others seem to get their pass within 2 weeks. My dad said he'll ring up tomorrow and see if they can tell me an average time.
The person did day 2 months (!!) but like said, some got theirs a few weeks later.
I've sent an email and hopefully that I can get a reply soon. Or I'll just have to wait and get it the night before and pray I get one that late.
Thanks guys. =]

The only way it could go wrong is if you arrive too late to go into the park!!

Oh sorry I must have missed your post. Oh that's good then.
I'm going to wait for a reply or just talk to my parents about it. Then hopefully get one at the ticket booths and then go into the park. Yeah, I get there for 7 ish so that's all good. Everything is Disneyland seems to close about 6 hours before the park closes (over exaggerating, I know) but I wasn't sure.

I'm very tempted to get a pass, I have a few questions to ask though.
Where is the cheapest place to buy them? I've heard of people buying them online then getting vouchers to enter the park on the day to have a day in the park and get your pass
What is the best time of day to go to the office?
Which is the best value for money as I tend to go three times in a year

right now the cheapest place is either promoparcs or cemultiavantages.

that entirely depends on what day of week/time of year you go to DLP to make your AP permanent.
[/b]
Which is the best value for money as I tend to go three times in a year
fantasy or dream passes are the best ones, as the Francillien cannot be used on days 2 and 3 after your activate them (ie the day you make them permanent at DLP is day 1, so you then can't use the Francillien on the next day, or the day after that).
The main information board part of this forum has a brilliant page on Annual Passes, their various discouts and privileges, and blackout dates (if appropriate).

I read that when you buy the APs you get the money back on the tickets you bought refunded - does anyone know if this includes tickets bought through Expedia?
Just the 1 day 2 parks Hopper tickets I mean, if we both get one via Expedia would we get the cost refunded when buying APs?
Thanks

Just the 1 day 2 parks Hopper tickets I mean, if we both get one via Expedia would we get the cost refunded when buying APs?
Thanks
Helen
yes you would - the price of the one-day ticket will be printed on it, you will need to change it for an AP on the day you use the one-day ticket, and yes, you will get the price refunded. However, this is still a fairly expensive way of getting an AP, compared to buying them at the discounted price through cemultiavantages or promoparcs etc.

Is it? I'll have to check those sites - although I assume they are in French?
I'll have to see if Google Translate can help me with them.

So you have to join Promoparcs as a club member to be able to buy them? And you get vouchers which you then exchange for the real passes?

I know this is early but my family and I have 4 Fantasy Annual Passports and we will be visiting Disneyland Paris from Sunday 27th October 2013 till Wednesday 30th October 2013. If anybody is visiting Disneyland Paris during these dates and are considering purchasing an Annual Passport and would like sponsorship then we are willing to help.

Hi We are looking to purchase annual passports for our trip in October (25th or 26th). Would it be better to purchase the passes beforehand, or would it work out cheaper if someone wanted to sponsor us (if anyone is around on this day?)

it depends on how many annual passes you are intending buying, and how old the guests are in your party (ie adults, children etc)

our dream passorts from cemultiadvantages arrived a couple of days ago, hasten to add we all did a little jig with excitement haha. they took 4 days to arrive. really impressed with the speed of delivery, no dramas at all and i would strongly recommend anyone not to have any reservations about buying them this way. more pounds saved this way to spend at the parc. cant wait till Monday

Anyone had any experience of this?

Hi,
Hoping someone might be able to confirm something for me!
We have two Disneyland Paris trips planned next year which I am about to book. I'm wondering if it would make sense to book the two packages for one person and then get annual pass for the other person
(me!).
I understand that you can usually add an extra person to the room for around 2 euros per night with room tax which is great.
My dilemma though isthat the second trip involves staying in a golden forest room in the Sequoia and I'm scared that we'll get there and they'll charge us lots for the extra bits you get (lounge and afternoon drinks/snacks).
I've worked out that we would save £100 by doing this (plus I have an excuse to go back on my own!) but I don't want this to be swallowed up on checking in.
Is it likely that the Disney booking line would be able to advise or would it just cause confusion?
Many thanks!!
Jenni

There are no other costs to pay at check in other then the room tax - we have even added room only guest (me) to Castle Club at the DLH with just the 1.45 room tax per night :-)
I bought my AP through CE multivantages for 159 euros (dream ap) on our first trip to SL we saved more then the cost of this just by adding me room only - plus all the other savings you make on food and shops ect - it can really add up!

Hi Amanda!
Thank you so much for your quick reply!
That's so great that there are no extra costs :D
Definitely going to ring up and book both tomorrow now! So excited about being a Dream AP holder. I have a shareholders card which gives 15% off so I think it's the same discount as through the CE multivantages site.

Hi - I'm new so I hope this is the right place to post this.
I thought APs would be good for me and my family (2 adults, 5 year old & 3yo) as we plan to go to DLP 26th Oct for 4 nights and then again next May. We done DLP at Xmas a couple of times so we know DLP is for us - but I just can't get the sums to work in favour of APs.
We want to stay at Sequoia But with the current DLP offer of 40% for adults and fee kids we would need to make a lot of use of discounts to make APs worthwhile whereas many posts show AP holders are better off before they even check in!!
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Cost with DLP online is £1042 in Oct and assume similar for May = £2048 in total for two 4 night holidays (
Hotel direct (using price on Expedia) is £1.5k in October, so using the AP discount of 25% this takes it down to £1125 so more expensive than DLP direct and we haven't included the AP price yet.
Is the current DLP offer just a good one? Is Expedia expensive? Am I just a donut who can't do sums? :-[
Any help appreciated.

in terms of booking rooms when you have an AP.
First I call disney and ask for the room only price
Then I check online by putting in the minimum amount of people possible to get the cheapest price. ie, I travel with DH and DS. I just put in 1 adult and 1 child (you can put in 2 adults to compare prices and in my experience there is always quite a big difference)
Only once have i been offered a cheaper price room only, it is almost always cheaper to book via one of special offers, ie 2 nights with 2 nights free.
If i have booked the hotel under the special offer, I then email or phone the hotel about 1 week before arrival to let them know I will be adding an extra person into the room on arrival - this is to make sure we get a room with 2 double beds as some rooms have only 1.
voila :-)
@Mrmama
I just tried with your dates in october and for 2 adults the cost is 1042 but for 1 adult (then you would add the second adult who has an AP room only) is 929 pounds - that difference pretty much covers the cost of the AP for one adult.
We have had in the past AP's for us all, but as we always prefer to stay on site, the cheapest way for us to do Disney is to book when there is a great deal and add me on extra on arrival. If you are happy to stay off site then you can get some mega cheap trips if you all have AP's, especially if you buy them at the moment with the great offer of kids APs for 35 euro!
We normally go to DLP in may and october. In our experience october is more expensive (it is classed as high season by DLP) In may we paid 800 euros (about 700 pounds) for 4 nights in Sequoa lodge.

Hi,
I am also new to this site.
Its great how much information is available though :-)
I too am thinking of purchasing Annual Passports for our family (2 adults, 3children 9,5 & 2) although just looking into the prices on the Promoparcs website and they have some great offers - I'm new to all this internet ordering etc. can someone verify that it is a genuine offer as if I tell DH he will tell me its a con!!
With the new rulings on time off in term time for school aged children I am finding it difficult to find any reasonable DLP offers for 2014 hence looking into other more flexible offers available at DLP.
I like the idea of having AP's but can anyone recommend any nice, clean etc. self catering places to stay?
We have done a Disney package deal and stayed in Davy Crockett Ranch for 2nights and had a lovely time and would love to stay there again but can we book room only accommodation at Davy Crockett? If so, how??
It's mind blowing so many things to consider.
We would drive over (channel tunnel/ferry) as far too much stuff to take on train/plane with little one!!
Would really appreciate some help and recommendations on how to book self catering accommodation and purchasing annual passports (especially if buying off promoparcs with current offer.........that just looks to good to be true ??? )
Thanks

Hi for a change we are staying off site but dont want to miss out on our arrival day. We will be arriving at the park at 10am fresh from the airport and wondered about using luggage storage near salon mickey. We've never brought luggage to the park and are unsure if it is safe to leave it in the hire car? We have 20th fantasy annual passes and have shareholders cards too. On this site it says you get free storage for all passes but on a later page it says only dream. Which is correct? We will probably only manage a few hours so cost may be prohibitive.
Thanks

You only get free luggage storage with Dream passports. I think it is a real pain to take your bags to the park entrance and then back up to the parking lot! My advice would be to drive to your hotel and leave your bags there or use the baggage storage upstairs at the railway station. I would NOT leave my bags in any car

Are there any discounts? Because, if I understand it correctly, passholders that need to renew their passes cannot get sponsored?

I've always ordered through CE multi-avantages. This is a very similar site than Promoparcs. CE is definitaly about board. And i'm sure Promoparcs is as well. Sorry that my english is not perfect. I always used to post on the dlrp fans website but since that closed yesterday this site will be my ' disney support channel' ;D
At promoparcs you will probably also pay a fee to register. And then once this is done you can order your passports.
A really nice place is Marriott vilage. A great place with kids. Because they have a kids club, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, small shop and lots of space for kids to run around.
It's not cheap but much better quality than Davy crockett.
If you would not consider passports then another option is going through vente-privée.com (log in under 'france'). They have specials bookable till 6th ocotber at all disney resorts at 50% off. (till 2nd april 2014). But if you don't understand french then this might be a tough option.

Hello everyone,
This is the first year we (beiing me and my family) hold PA Fantasy.
We are planning a trip on 31/10 and 01/11 for one night.
These are, unfortunately, block days for this kind of PA.
I have heard once that this block days don't count if you stay in a Disney Hotel.
Is this information correct?
Thanks for the info guys (and girls ;-) )

Yes, you heard correctly - if you are staying in one of the Disney onsite hotels (not the partner hotels) you will recieve an hotel easy pass and will be able to enter the park as normal :-)

If you hace an AP you can sponsor other people to get one, they can get it at a discount price, and if you sponsor enough people you can renew your AP for free (I believe... Someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

That's correct.
You need to collect 3 "stamps" on a form (= 3 people who wanna buy an AP), between a certain time period.
(when the form is full, the form will stay valid)
If you have these 3 stamps, you can renew your own AP for free for 1 entire year, and the other 3 people will get a discount of 10 % on their AP.

If you get sponsored, you get a 10 % discount on bying your own AP :)
If you are the sponsor, and get 3 stamps, your new AP will be free for 1 year.
So noone looses any money over this, only gain :)

The Dream is 199 € and the Fantasy is 179 € (Fantasy also has days you cannot enter the park), that's without the 10 % discount.
I don't know the price of the other 2 passes.

Get them at the main gate. As you approach go to the far right as if you are heading for the DLH, you will see some gates in the left corner, just before that on the left there are some windows that sell temporary AP's (at least that's where we bought ours from), you then take these to the passport bureau outside of Discoveryland where they will process these into full AP's.

Okay, so we have 3 Fantasy APs - 2 adults and 1 child, that run out days before we are wanting to go in May next year. What's the cheapest way to have APs again - is it to renew (how does one do that?) or is it easier to just buy 3 new APs from somewhere like CE Multi where it's €129 for each of the adult APs and then just €39 for the child's AP. How far in advance can you buy an AP? Does it have to be validated in the parks within a certain time?
All this time being a fan of DLP and my AP knowledge is so poor!
thanks :)

We are planning a trip on 24/25/26 january with 7 persons (and two have a annual passport), so that would be a pity!

"Offre strictement réservée au territoire français." Will I face any issue at DLP, I´m from Germany with no Address in France.
Thanks for your effort

after your reply I searched in the internet. At the moment they do not deliver Promo Tickets outside France. If someone knows another way please let me know. Due to that reason I have to pay nearly 200€ more for the four AP´s.

Has any info been released about wether they will continue to offer "Magic Hours" with Fantasy passes as well as Dream passes? We realise that it was only supposed to be offered during the 20th Anniversary, but wondered how long the offer (or anniversary!) would continue.
We're not due to go until August so won't be buying passes until then (or near then if there are any website offers), but we're planning already.
Does anyone know of any good Annual Pass offers (2 Adults, 1 Child) that would delay activation of the passes until August? We've always bought at the park (with shareholder discount), so have never bought form a website - although some recent deals have been better than shareholder discount.

Otherwise there is a form you can download and print of on the www.disneylandparis.fr site, which you can then post and get a new AP through the post.
My Dreams pass runs out at the start of February, I've booked a trip for the 4th Feb, how do I go about renewing my pass?
Thanks in advance!
:)

Hi iam going to DLP for the first time in April and was interested in buying a fantasy annual pass. I rang DLP today and was told that i would not be able to use it for the first 2 days after buying it. Does anyone know if this is true as i thought that was only the case with the cheeper pass. Also not sure the info given to me was correct as the lady i spoke to seemed to know very little about the annual passes, I had to hold for quite some time as she got more info about them and she said shy had never been asked about them before, so now iam not so sure I should buy one.

As far as I know, this is the correct information:
IMPORTANT: Passeport Annuel Francilien, the lowest-priced pass, cannot be used on the two days following its purchase, meaning it cannot always be used instead of a regular 3 Day Ticket. For example, if you bought this pass on a Monday, you would not be able to use it on the Tuesday and Wednesday immediately following that specific Monday.
So if you buy the Fantasy pass, you must could use it the next day?

they are going to change the annual passes on april the 2th. And for how far I know, there is now information about what the changes are going to be. Are they going to only change the price? or also the conditions?
I bought a fantasy pass last year and with that pass I could go when ever I wanted (except for the block out day's)
So it depends when you buy the pass. If you buy it before April the 2th it will work just fine. But if your buying it the 2th of April or later I would check with Disney again, to be sure.

I'm planning to buy a PA on 24 February, but I already have a Shareholders discount. Can you have both? If so, we could meet up!
Yes you can have both, my APD cost me 169€ instead of 199€.
I use my APD for store discounts (generally 20%) and my shareholders card for restaurant discount (15%)
Shareholders card is also useful for discounts in some of the Disney Village restaurants that don't offer discount to AP holders

Bit I'm not sure of it, that's what I have read in one of the Dutch topics ... Maybe you should check tis information with CE Multiavantages ...

How does the discount work if I want to book a disney hotel stay, but i won't actually have apass until we get there and get into the park, I realize I'd have to collect the pass from the park first before checking into the hotel, but how can i actually book without having it, even if i purchase before arriving i wouldn't have an actual card until i got there...... and how much discount do you get in restaurants? please

You can book your hotel depending on who you get on the other end of the phone, when my AP expired, I booked our hotel with the Dream AP discount but was informed that I had to show my new Dream AP before I checked in. Restaurant discount for all AP's is 10%

Hi
Just wondering if anybody can help - we are looking at buying AP's for our trip in June. There will be 6 of us (all same family!), with 1 under 3 yr old. From what I can make if we buy the Fantasy Passport @ EUR 159, as we are buying 5 passports, we get 20% off the price? Does anybody know if this is true or am I reading it wrongly? It seems too good to be true as basically would be getting one free!
Thanks

Hello everybody!!
My name is Enrico and I am a very big fan of Disneyland Paris.
I live in Italy.
I'm sorry for my not perfect English.
I would like to buy two Annual Passport.
I have simulated to buy on the official french site and at the first question I have choose "non, merci".
After, ask me to insert an address, but is blocked on France.
I have tried with invented data
After, ask me my name and my surname.
After, I have this
So, can I print by myself my temporary annual passport if I don't live in France?
My annual passport will be definitive in the first day I use?
(I know that temporary passport must be exchange in definitive the day of first visit).
How many months I have to convert to defintive from the day of printing?
Thank you so much for helping me! :D

Hi littlebitofpixiedust, We bought Dreams AP last year for 2 adults and 1 disabled child (well, I say child but he was 13 so classed as adult) I dont believe we got any money off his AP but we do get a free ticket for his carer every day we go to the parks. We are going on our next visit tomorrow yippee!!

Is there anywhere with a reduced rate or are we looking at the EUR199? Also, do you have to get these before you travel or are we able to get them on the 1st day we arrive? Thanks :)

You can look for a sponsor on this thread. That'll give you a 10 % discount and the sponsor can collect stamps for a free renewal. Keep in mind that the Dream prices go up to 209 euros on the first of July.When do you plan to go? I'll be happy to sponsor you if you go between 5 and 12 July.

Hiya, so sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. We all bought tickets for our first day as you have to actually go into the park to purchase your AP. When you have got your APs sorted, the next day when you arrive there is a little window with disabled signs (round the corner from Donald's Desk) where you present your disabled AP and green accessibiity card and just ask for your carer's ticket. It is really straight forward! It can sometimes take a long time though as for some reason they only ever open 1 window even when there is a very large queue ::)

You can look for a sponsor on this thread. That'll give you a 10 % discount and the sponsor can collect stamps for a free renewal. Keep in mind that the Dream prices go up to 209 euros on the first of July.When do you plan to go? I'll be happy to sponsor you if you go between 5 and 12 July.
Hi. Thanks for the offer but we are planning to go in September, between 6th and 13th camping :) do you know where the best place to get the passes is from or are we able to buy on arrival and use the same day?

You can buy the passes at the park, on the day and use them the same day.
Annoyingly, when we did that a couple of years ago they had stopped refunding parking for the day you buy the pass.

Hi, I am new to this site so apologies if I am asking a question already answered elsewhere.
I am travelling to Disneyland Paris on 23rd May with my wife and 3 children (2, 11 & 12) for 4 days (starting 24th May).
I have looked at various French sites that offer discounted Dream Passports but these appear to be available to French Nationals only.
What is the best way to buy the Dream Passport please and are there any discounts available anywhere?
If I have to purchase at the gate then I imagine it would be quieter in the afternoons so would probably go there on the 23rd so we are ready to go in on Saturday 24th.
I have seen people offering sponsorship on this site so if there is anyone looking to sponsor anyone then please let me know.

Hello! I am starting to plan a holiday to DLP and was going to be doing it through the official website as a package - but I have since thought about getting annual passes and renting a villa nearby - it seems like it may be cheaper... we are a family of 8 (myself, husband and 6 children) am I right in thinking this would work out the best option for us - I think I get a discount if I am buying more than 5, is that right? if so it works out cheaper than buying normal tickets for 5 days for us all and then possible short breaks extra within the year where we would just need to rent accommodation - is it easy to buy annual passes, I cant find anything clear as to how to go about it as ive read that they don't work straight away if you buy them there? bit unsure really! Any tips or advice please? I will be most grateful! My mind is turning to mush with all this research!

Passes can be bought at the park and used straight away (apart from the Francilien which can't be used in the two days after purchase).
Go to the annual passport kiosk at the entrance and buy your passes (you will be given temporary passes), go into the park and you exchange them for actual passes. This can take a while, as the take all your details and a photo and then print your pass.
Dream Passes let you in every day, Fantasy Passes have blockout dates (you need to check these dates against the dates that you intend to use them).
Lots more info here - http://www.dlrpmagic.com/planning/booking/annual-passports/ (http://www.dlrpmagic.com/planning/booking/annual-passports/)
It will almost certainly be cheaper to buy annual passes, rather than 5 day tickets. Annual passes also give various discounts in restaurants and shops and free parking. There is a 20% discount when buying 5 or more passes.
We work it so that we get two years summer holiday from one pass. The first year we buy our pass towards the middle of August and use it for the last ten days of August. The following year we can use it for the beginning of August.

hey
just a quick question about sponsoring,
acording to dlrpmagic.com the new members can't not have already owned a anuall pasport for 2 years prior.
say I want to buy my annual passport (while being sponsored) 5-6-2014
should my previous annual passport end on 4-6-2012 or earlier
or should it start on 4-6-2012 or earlier ?
I think the first one would be logical but I really want to be sure
thank you:D

we bought 3 dream passports last year from ce multiadvantages and have seen that now its not possible to purchase if you are not a french citizen. my wife is convinced that she read on a forum that you could still buy disney passports from ce multiadvantages if you were still a memeber of ce multiadvantages? can anyone clarify this as we will be using our passports for the last time in august and are looking at the best way to renew them.
cheers

Hi Robbie
Your info is sadly correct :( they will now only sell to people with a french address and a french credit card :(
You could renew in resort and then you would at least get the 6 months added free - better then nothing!

Am I right in thinking that "on the door" there is no difference between buying a childs pass to an adults pass - they are both the same price?
A couple of places are selling childrens APs at a cheaper rate than an adults. I wondered how that was possible and how you proved that pass was for a child.

We are going in August and think that I have worked out that its cheaper to buy 4 annual passes than 4 tickets especially if you take into account parking fees and the discounts available as the difference between the two is £38 and I think we will save that in 4 days parking fees alone.
My question is I understand that you can go to the front gate to get the AP's but we will have already paid for parking by then so do you get this money back.

Unfortunately they don't refund parking anymore.
Annual passes are usually cheaper than multiple day tickets, but factor in that you only need one annual passholder in your party to get free parking and discounts.
Are there any children in your party? If so, some places sell a child's pass, which is cheaper than an adults.
Ask on the board if there is anyone willing to "sponsor" you - you will get 10% discount on your tickets.
Finally, work out if you need a Dream pass or Fantasy pass - check blockout dates.

Note that if you stay in an official Disney hotel, you get a hotel 'easy pass' when you check in (1 for your complete party), which gives you the privilege to get in during Extra Magic Hours with everyone in your party.

hi
were going in sept with my sister in law and family, were going for 5 days so it worked out it cheaper for them to get a annual pass, we currently have annual passes so we were going to sponsor them so they get them cheaper.
Is the process easy to do?? where do you get the forms from?
and is it right we can do it at the gates before we go in through the turnstiles.
We will be there 12-19th sept 14 if anyone else needs sponsoring we can do 5 more. :)
thanks

It's actually quite easy. You buy a dayticket at the entrance.
Then you go to the Bureau Passeporte Annuel at the entrance of discoveryland.
There you tell the people behind the desk that they want to buy an annual passeport with pairranage. (Note the the person giving the pairrainage has to be present, and that the person buying the passeport has to have a passport or ID card with him).
Then there is quite a lot of paperwork involved (they have the pairranageforms), and your AP is scanned for each person you sponsor.
The money paid at the entrance is deducted from the total price, as well as the 10%.
If you are in the month before renewing your AP and your pairranageform is full (3 stamps) you can then immediately renew your AP. If it's not up for renewal yet, you keep the form and hand it in when you can renew.
If your form isn't full, note that there is a timelimit in which you can collect three stamps. This is usually six months, and as the new form started on July 1st, you'll have untill January 1st to collect 3 stamps.
I hope this is clear enough. Good luck!

You can buy the AP at (I think it is) Guest Relations (next to Salon Mickey/Disneyland Hotel) for the reduced price if you tell them that you will be sponsored. So you have only one transaction on your card and it is a little bit faster in the AP office because you don't have to pay again there :)

Last time around I used my Shareholders card to get a discount on my AP. Now I have a few questions regarding renewing. Am I able to renew my AP in november (it's valid till the first week of january) and with the renewal will my AP be valid for 18 months instead of 12 months and will I be able to use the Shareholders discount with renewing?
I hope someone can help me out with some answers.

Yes, you should be able to renew in November and you should be able to get the 18 month deal assuming it is still running. You will not get the Shareholders discount (only one offer can be used so 18 months is a better option)

Quote from: captain rocket on August 03, 2014, 12:59:20 PMOkay thank you. You are right. With simple math the 18 month deal is the most valuable option.

Hiya,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but can you use the multi day ticket that you have included in your on-site hotel package to buy AP's and have their value taken off the AP cost?
We will have a 5 day ticket included in our package, does anyone know how much more we will have to pay per AP too please? We are 3 adults and 1 child. I would either buy the mid or upper tier APs.
TIA x :D

Livvipivvi, no, you can't use the multi day ticket included in the hotel package to buy a discounted annual pass. Only the one day tickets can be discounted from the price of the AP.
Thaliel, yes. The only days that you can't enter the park are the 2nd and 3rd day with the francilien passport even if you stay in a Disney hotel, but all others blockout dates you can.

Only afew weeks (17th September) till our Disney holiday so planning some final bits!
On the first day we are going to get annual passes for the first time, are we best paying for these at the ticket booths or buying a day ticket then upgrading? Can we go into studios first and then get our passes when we move across to the main park? What time of the day is usually quietest at the pass office, don't really want to spend half our day sat in there!
Also just to double check... are EMHs included in the Fantasy Pass or just the Dream Pass?

Just bought our adult passes in the park today!
Are there any children in your party? We bought our son's ticket for £75 before we travelled from a site called "discount ticket store". They don't sell child tickets at the park. Adult tickets were also cheaper than gate price from them, but we get shareholders discount, which made them cheaper for us on the gate.

Good afternoon! This is my very first post on ANY Disney related forum (Im a bit useless at good conversation)- but I think I have just found my place!
I am planning my next trip to DLP at Halloween. I am taking my 3yo, and a friend and her 8yo are coming too. I am the only one with an annual pass, but I was wondering if it would be possible to pre book tickets with my 20% Dreams discount before I go, or would I have to buy the tickets on the day at the entrance? And the same for the Halloween party tickets. Is it just a case of calling up and booking the tickets on the phone?
Sorry for the 'newb' post, this is the first time I will actually use my passport properly at the parks! ::)

Mr Moderator,
Is it possible to set something up so that people can list when they are visiting the park and whether they
are offering or needing sponsorship?
A bit like the "who goes when" list. It would be easier having one list, rather than having to look through loads of postings.

I'm going to DLP next week and planning to buy 3 Fantasy passports. What I'm wondering is whether I can sponser the other people in my group or whether there's a block on how soon after getting your passport until you can sponser someone. i.e. if I go and get my passport and then take my wife and daughter in later and sponser theirs. That way we get the discount on 2 of the tickets + I get the stamps. I don't see anyone talking about this so maybe it's not allowed but I don't see anything preventing it.

When my husband renewed his pass he went from a Dream to a Fantasy and still got the renewal deal, so I guess you can go from Francilien to Etudiant...

I think...
You are "sponsored" by an annual pass holder - you get 10% discount off your pass and for every three people they sponsor they get a years extension on their pass.
The pass holder has to have held their pass for a certain amount of time (1 month I think) and the person buying the pass can't have held one for a certain amount of time (1 year I think).
Both the buyer and sponsor have to be at the passport bureau at the same time.

Correct, except you can't have had a passport for 2 years ^^. One annual pass holder can sponsor three people after one month. Every person you sponsor gets 10% discount on their annual pass (so Dream become 209 - 10% = 188,1 euros). For every person an annual pass holder gets one stamp and with three stamps you can get a year extension for free (the next year you'll have to pay for it again, but you can get 6 months bonus for the same price).
For people who are looking for discount on their annual pass, I will be in Disneyland on September 30th and October 6th :D.

Can anyone explain how the process of sponsoring works?
We've always bought our temporary annual passes on the way in to the park, then collected the permanent passes in the passport office.
At what point would the sponsor need to be involved? We've seen them waiting outside the passport office, but surely by then the buyer has already paid full price?
Does the sponsor have to meet them outside the park while they pay and then accompany them to the passport office while the collect their permanent passes?

The sponsor goes inside the passport office with you. Inside the office the sponsor provides the discount by showing his annual passport and you get your annual passport after filling out some information and have your picture taken. So you meet after the ones who want the new annual passport bought their daily ticket and then you go to the passport office (where the price of the daily ticket is deducted from the total price).

I do apologise if this has been answered but the amount of information about passes is a little confusing at times.
I've finally talked my boyfriend into getting a Dreams pass. I've had a Dreams pass for almost two years now and gather I can sponsor him, I'm just a little unsure about how to go about it. I've always bought mine at the gate then entered the park to the passport office, would I do the same for him and show my pass to get the discount? I've previously read something about filling a form in?
That probably sounds like a jumble of questions but if someone could help me out I'd be mega grateful!! ;D

Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Assuming Bureau Donald is closed (it always is!)
Your boyfriend buys a day ticket on the gate.
You fill in the sponsorship form.
You both go to the passport office.
He pays the difference between the day ticket he bought and a Dream Pass, less the sponsorship discount.
If you can find two other people to sponsor, then you get an extra 12 months on your pass.

You just pay to get into the park just like anyone who has a normal park ticket.
The only difference is that an AP can be used more than once and has priveleges.
So yes, you can stay in the park with an Annual Passport until closing time.
And with the Dream AP you can even enter the park 2 hours earlier, with the start of the extra magical hours.

Hey guys. Sry if this has already been asked, but as we didnt go to disney in Sept as we planned (where we wanted to buy our new APs) we now go in Dec, but as we arrive late when the parc will already be colsed, and we want to use EMH on the following mornin, I was now thinking about buying our APs online over the french webside, but when I have to type in the adresse it already sais Country: FRANCE, so how can I make it, to get the passport to Austria? ???

You can buy the AP at the cashdesk in the morning. I guess that AP-on-paper gets you through the checks at the entrance to Fantasy- and Discoveryland, but I can't say for sure. Did anybody try this already?

The desk is open before park opening time, I planned to use it this year to renew, but I got to the park early enoughthe night before to pay for my AP at the guest services desk (beside the left luggage area) and this entitled me to EMH the following morning which I used.I did look the next morning and one cash desk was open at 07.55.(and no queue!)
Have a great trip..

Hi all!!!
As my memory is SHOCKING, I have a few questions.We bought Dreams APs last August which we (stupidly) have allowed to lapse. A member of our party is disabled. There are 4 of us going - 3 of us will be getting Dream APs (including the disabled member) so my questions are:
Do we go buy normal day tickets at the ticket office and then get the money off our APs?
We get a free carer ticket with our AP - would the carer's day ticket be reimbursed as well?? I don't think this is what happened last year but my memory is so foggy as I spent most of the time in the AP Office trying to keep a certain little lad from going absolutely stir crazy!
Thanks so much for all your help you lovely people.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but a temp AP will not get you in the park for EMH - you can pay for one at any of the open cash desks or guest services but you need to go into the parks to exchange it for a permanent AP at the AP office. Only this permanent AP will get you into EMH and when we were there a few weeks ago they were checking this quite seriously. I guess once the characters move from the hotels in to the parks during emh they will be even more vigilant.

Ok the best thing I can tell you to do and hope it works is when you are walking towards the DLP Hotel (big Pink one) go to the Right of it and under a wing of the hotel on the left is a door where you can enter to purchase anuual passes before you get into the park. When we were there the last few days everytime we went by the doors were open and there was no one even waiting in line. If youa re talking about before you even get to DLP then I think you can order them online or mail an order in but it could take a month maybe to get your vouchers and then you would still have to take your picture at the park. I think <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
When you mail it, you can sent a picture with it. You get your annual passes including your picture sent to you. But it will indeed cost you about a month until you get them.

Although the French DLP site says otherwise - http://www.disneylandparis.fr/passeports-annuels/passeport-annuel-fantasy/
When we bought ours in August, there was a poster in the passport office saying that the Fantasy Pass included EMH, although elsewhere we read otherwise.
Its all a bit confusing...

I knew and now know for sure that my Fantasy pass allowes me to enjoy the EMH too. Because of these rumours, I double checked it and got it confirmed by Emmy Sanders from Guest Communication.
However, because the terms and conditions say until the 12th of november:
Valables pour un Passeport Annuel définitif souscrit jusqu'au 12 novembre 2014 inclus.
I'm curious if they change it on/after that date. I'm going to keep an eye on it.

How I read it (+ with the information that i got from guest communications) is that when you have bought your annual pass before the 12th of november 2014, you bought it under the conditions that are listed. One of the things that is listed is the EMH.
Wheter you still get EMH with a pass that you've bought after tomorrow, I don't know.
Because off the advertisement about the characters being out during EMH, exclusive for the hotelguests and Dreampass holders, it looks like they might wanna change it back to no EMH with a fantasypass.
But I'm not sure how they will arrange that. It brings a lot of confusion. We just have to wait and see I guess.
But people that already own a fantasypass should not be worried, wether it's a 20th anniversary one or not.

I wanted to purchase a Francilien annual pass, since this would be cheaper.
but then I saw on DLPtoday you cannot use it in the following 2 days. WHY?! That's terrible :( Is it true?
Another question: how does this work with hoteldiscount? Since i'll have to pay for the hotelroom at first (i don't have a annualpass yet).

The reason you cannot use the Francilien for two days after purchase is to stop people buying an AP instead of standard park tickets. a two day ticket is virtually the same price as a francilien, so if you were going for three/four days you would be inclined to buy an AP. Because an AP takes about fifteen minutes to issue DLRP would not be able ti process people quickly enough and they would lose money!

I understand that you need to sponsor 3 people in order to get an extension to your annual pass.
What happens if you sponsor more people, for example 6?

You can, but you can only collect 3 stamps (3 people you can sponsor) to get the free renewel.
For the other 3, you get nothing.

Apologies for being an uber-noob, but I have a question about Annual Passes and hope someone can help me out. We have just got ourselves the Dream annual pass for the next year and are curious about how to take advantage of the discount on hotels... it doesn't seem as straightforward as I had hoped. We're not a family, just a couple of adults.
On our previous 2 trips, we've stayed at pretty nice and pretty reasonably priced hotels in Bussy Saint Georges, which has worked really well for us, but at some point in the next year, if we can get our discount and scrape together the cash, we'd really like to go for the full 100% Disney experience.
Do we do it over the phone, or is there a dedicated section of the website that I just can't see?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way!

We managed to sponsor 5 people from the same family. We asked someone if we could sponsor them (to make a 6th person) and they said yes, if we paid them 50 euros! We declined and they came after us and dropped their price to 40 euros - we declined again!
We went the following day and found someone else to sponsor - for free.
Has anyone else been asked for money to sponsor someone? Seems to go against the whole ethos of helping each other out.

Hi everyone!
I can sponsor 2 people in several weekends in January and February:
January: on the 17, 18, 24, 25 and 31.
February: on the 1, 14 and 15.
I already have one stamp so I think I can only sponsor another 2 people? In any case if you are more than two we can try and see if they give the 10% to all of you. If anyone is interested please get in touch! :)
Cheers! ;)

Howdy folks,
as i am leaving in some days for Disneyland Paris (yaaaaay) i have one question left:
Is it possible to renew my annual passport Dream for more than 18 months, so to speak for 3 or 5 years? I heard a conversation where a guest did this but Disney hasn't answered my mails yet (and it would be great to know it in advance to make planning better).
Thanks for helping, maybe someone did this too and can tel me a bit about it.
Thanks again

We managed to sponsor three people each, so will get a free year, starting in August.
Will this be counted as a new pass, so we will be able to sponsor people (from August) to get another 12 months? Or is it counted as just an extension to our existing pass, meaning we can't get a further extension?

No, if you already gotten your AP for free, you can't collect new stamps for the next year, pretty sure you will have to pay the full amount (but get 6 months extra with that).

It's either one or the other, no combo's I'm afraid.
Be sure to get a paper that states you all are in the same address for the family discount.

Hi All - just found this site but haven't read through it all! Just planning a family trip in June 2015 and was going to buy Annual Passes. However, have read that the family must all be the same surname. Well we are all the same family - me/husband/daughter and then elder daughter with her husband and 2 children - so my elder daughter and her husb and my grandchildren have a different surname to me - but we're all the same family and I was planning on buying the tickets all together at the same time. Is there any way round this so that I can still get the discount as I will be buying 6 tickets (youngest grandchild is 2)
Any help will be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but there's a lot of pages to scroll through!
Thanks in advance ;)

Hi Lizzie. I guess you mean the 20% discount for buying 5 passes or more? It's not a problem to have different last names but you do need to prove that you all live at the same address and are family. So maybe copy of electrol role, or somethinge else showing you all living there, then copies of marriage certificates etc
Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure it's only possible when you live at the same address. The promotion is ment for big families with 3 or more kids so they have a 20% reduction.

No she can't. You have to sign your "contract" yourself.
Is your mum or dad coming with her? Otherwise she can't buy one for herself either.
A parent has to sign under the age of 18.
But if your next trip isn't for several months, why would you want one now?
Isn't that a waste of money, buying one now that you're not even going to use for a while?
You can buy one yourself (if you're over 18, otherwise with a parent present) when your next visit is.

Minors over the age of 12 can buy an Annual Passport without their parents being present, as long as they provide the parental permission, which you can download here (in French), and a photocopy of the ID of a parent or legal guardian:
https://wdpromedia.disney.go.com/media/wdpro-dlp-assets/prod/fr-fr/system/images/autorisation_parentale.pdf
They'll also need their own ID, or couse, like anyone buying an AP.
Grace.deal: I know you can get an AP by mail, but I've never done it. The information here (below) is in French, but maybe you can call the British call center and get more information? Or your sister can ask while she's in the park.

We have Fantasy Annual Passports which we bought last year whilst on holiday, trying to price up a short break using our 25% hotel discount but firstly can't find which hotels are included and which not and secondly when pricing on the website the price includes tickets and there doesn't seem to be an opt out option. How can I price up my short break?

The offers that DLP have for the general public are usually better than the discount that AP holders or Shareholders Club members can get using discounts.
One way around it would be to book one person per room, taking advantage of any offer that DLP have at time of booking (they will automatically get a park pass for the duration of their stay). Then, when you arrive, you tell them that there are four of you (the others must all have annual passes). The people who aren't on the booking will pay 1 euro a night resort tax. They will get breakfast, but not any other meals.

I don't know what the discounts available/not available would be but I'm fairly sure AP holders have to phone, there's no website for this. Recent/current visitors may be able to get you the room rates for the hotel/s you're interested in though.

Actually I have also been looking elsewhere and can get a weeks stay in one of the partner hotels for £400 for all of us so might look at that instead. All the disney ones are coming in at over £1,000 so even with 25% discount its still dearer.
Thanks anyway for your help.

Hi Buzzkaye
Not sure if you are all 1 family but if you are and live at the same address you can get a 20% discount when buying your AP's in Disney. If not, you could also try the TA forum as there is a runing list of people available to sponsor there and I know there are lots of people there your dates

That all sounds fine to me, but I would email Disneyland Paris explaining your situation and ask what you would need to bring with you to prove you are all family living at the same address.
It may also be worth you looking at some of the websites that sell Annual Passes. The adult ones aren't particularly competitive, but they do sell children's passes (which you can't buy in the park).
We bought our son's from here -
http://www.discount-ticket-store.com/product-category/paris/disneyland-paris-annual-pass/?doing_wp_cron=1423680454.2222759723663330078125
http://www.supertrips.net/tickets-to/disneyland/ - also do deals when buying adult and children passes together.

You can either buy before you go from a number of UK websites, or buy when you get there (with the possibility of a 10% discount if sponsored by another passholder).
www.discount-ticket-store.com
http://www.supertrips.net/tickets-to/disneyland/
How many in your party - adults and children?
A good reason to buy before you go is if you have children. They don't sell children's passports at the park, they would have to buy adult passes.
If there are 5 of you, you can get a discount.

hi we are 2 adults now and we are staying off site this time we were there in January and stayed in sequoia gf which was fab but we picked the bad time the 7th of Jan so there was a lot goin on in paris at that time. So we plan to go back oct and stay in the serris hotel working out nice and cheap so were going to book park tickets and thought does the annual pass cover me going to the park for 4 days or do we still have to buy tickets alongside the annual pass. Is is possible to buy and do online before going and how long does it take to post.

Am I right in thinking you are not restricted to sponsoring only 3 people?
People saying they can sponsor, say 3 people would put off a party of 4. They actually mean they need to sponsor 3 people to get their pass extended, but can actually sponsor as many people as they want.

Can someone please confirm this is the correct process for sponsoring someone?
They buy a day ticket. They meet you IN THE PARK. You go with them to get their annual pass. Their annual pass is reduced by 10% and the money for their day ticket is deducted from the price?
Not talking about Donald's desk -
If they buy an annual pass for full price at the gate, we presume they can't have 10% deducted when they have their application processed in the park?
Is there the facility for sponsoring someone at the gate so that they get their 10% discount? If so, does the sponsor still have to accompany them to the passport office in the park?

They either get a 1-day ticket, and pay the rest of the money at the passport bureau.
Or, you are all together at the ticket booth, you say you are giving these people the discount, and they pay for their AP already, including the discount, get a voucher, and you all go to the passport bureau, you don't have to pay anything anymore there.
Both parties need to be at the ticket booth (as you need to show your AP, so they can see someone is sponsoring them), and both parties need to be at the passport bureau, as you need to sign things.

I have a french friend who will let me use her french account and I wonder if I can use it with the mail option (she can't come with us to the Bureau in the park). In that case, is it possible to have a sponsor? Can I use my Shareholder discount?.

After reading these boards i ordered my passes from www.supertrips.net last week, they came today and the kids can't wait.
I couldn't be faffing with the sponsor thing in the end, but I spoke to Danielle at Supertrips, it saved me quite a bit of money so I am happy, now the ferry or the chunnel that's the next question?

I notice you can now apply on line for the annual pass and have it delivered fully done, so no need to goto the office in DLP. My question is when does the pass start and on the cheapest pass what would then be classed as day 2 &3 for the exclusion ?

Not sure if its any use to anyone but got a promo email from supertrips www.supertrips.net (http://www.supertrips.net) offering 10% off Disneyland Paris tickets and passes. They were already the cheapest and it's typical that the discount code comes out after I purchased, but the code is SAVE10 if anyone else can benefit.

Yes but you need to use the French language site and your pass will need to be collected in person at the Bureau Passeport Annuel rather than posted.

You might be better off buying a annual pass from one of the independent ticket sellers before you go - these are good because they sell childrens tickets, which you can't get at the park. They will get you into the park on your first day, but you will need to spend time converting them at the passport office at sometime during your visit. Queues at the passport office vary, from none to an hour.
We've used
http://www.discount-ticket-store.com/product-category/paris/disneyland-paris-annual-pass/
and had no problems.
Others recommend http://www.supertrips.net/tickets-to/disneyland/

Dream Pass
DLP = 223 euros (£162), less 10% sponsorship = £146
Supertrips = £169, less 10% = £152
discount ticket store = £160
Fantasy Pass
DLP = 179 euros (£130), les 10% sponsorship = £117
Supertrips = £145. less 10% = £130
discount ticket store = £127
Third party sites are good however if you need to buy passes for children, as these can't be bought in the parks.

I have a dream annual passport. 3 of my friends are going to be visiting me in Paris in a couple of weeks time. I know I can get them all 20% off the cost of a day ticket for DLP. My question is, can I get them their tickets in advance or will we have to get them at the entrance on the day?
Many Thanks,
Sarah

Disney doesn't sell child APs; it is a single price. There is a 10% discount if you are sponsored by an existing passholder. I understand some third party resellers may have child APs at a very modest discount.
The 1 year old does not need a ticket.

Unless your sponsors already have one sponsorship stamp it is best to buy all three passports on sponsorship so that one of your relatives can benefit from a free year.

When you buy it at DLRP, you just go to the ticket booth and say you want an annual pass, which one, you pay and go to the passport bureau to get it made (you recieve a ticket you must trade in at the bureau).
If you have someone to sponsor you it's best to have that person with you, as they will take the 10 % straight off at the ticket booth.
As for me, I have some trips planned for the rest of the year, if anyone wants 10 % off, feel free to contact me.
I'm still looking for 3 stamps.
- June 9th
- July 18th - 20th
- September 27th
- October 30th - November 1st

Hello - hope this is in the right place - my first post! We love Disney and have bought Annual Passes in the past and thinking of getting them again. I know that you can get the cost of your entrance ticket off the cost of the new annual pass, but does anyone know if we can use the 'mini', 'magic' tickets in this way (I know you can't use the hotel package ones as they say 'forfait').
Any advice appreciated, thank you.

Has anyone had any problems with getting the Family Discount when buying 5 APs?
Two years ago when buying the APs, Disney asked for proof that we all lived at the same address (even though our surnames are all the same). This was fine for my wife and I but not so easy for our 3 small children. After talking with one of their managers we got the discount, but I was wondering whether this is still the case and if so what form of proof was acceptable?

Hi all,
My wife and I will be making our first trip to DLP in June. We've been to Orlando twice before (and I've been another time also) so very excited to try Paris.
We are planning to visit the parks on June 10th, 11th and 12th and will be buying Fantasy Annual Passes. We will actually be there from Monday, June 8th though so are hoping to have our passes organised before our first day when we actually want to visit.
With that in mind, is anybody available for sponsorship from the afternoon of Monday, June 8th to the morning of Wednesday, June 10th. I'm happy to pay the full price but if someone is available, it's a great benefit for both of us!
The only thing I'm wondering about is the possibility of doing this on June 9th. This is a blockout date for the Fantasy Annual Pass. Does this mean you can't buy them on this date? I don't see how you could buy them and get the temporary ticket to enter and go to the Annual Passport Bureau because you'd be going in on a blockout date and how would they make sure you leave afterwards? Does anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Niall.

Hello. My fiance and I are considering our first proper Disneyland Paris break from 27th October to 1st November, staying offsite. Would anybody be around on 27th October for sponsorship, how does this work? We're thinking of getting the dream passes if we go through with the holiday, as a lot of the blockout dates on the other passes are during school holidays/bank holidays, and these are often the times we get off work being a supply teacher and nursery nurse! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If we get the sponsors, if I've worked it out correctly, for the two of us, including 5 nights in an offsite hotel, dream passes and eurotunnel return it is £574, which seems a great price :D

Hi nkay1985, the day you obtain your physical Annual Passport card is exempt from any blackouts so you are free to enjoy the parks without problems :)

Hello - that's really interesting about the black out days not being valid on the day you buy - because I'd been thinking of going on Halloween and buying Fancilien but thought I'd have to buy a ticket and then 'trade up' for the annual pass. Thanks!

Hiya!
My girlfriend and me will be visiting Disneyland Paris 4-9 July. However we are staying in Paris and decided to buy annual passports. We decided to buy the Fantasy Annual Passport. Problem is, Fantasy AP is not valid on the 4th of July. So we can't buy them until the fifth right? Or is there some way to buy them on the block out date?
As for the fifth we want to enjoy the entire day, so we want to be at the Disneyland Park quite early. Now here's my question: Can we buy our Annual Passports during Magic Hours and enter the park? From what time is the Bureau Passport Anuel opened? And last, when do the ticket offices open?
Another question regarding the annual passport is that my girlfriend is still under 18. Since her parents aren't coming, I read we needed a letter from her parents giving permission, but what does the letter need to include? Does somebody have experience with this or has an example?
Greetings!

Hello - hope this is in the right place - my first post! We love Disney and have bought Annual Passes in the past and thinking of getting them again. I know that you can get the cost of your entrance ticket off the cost of the new annual pass, but does anyone know if we can use the 'mini', 'magic' tickets in this way (I know you can't use the hotel package ones as they say 'forfait').
Any advice appreciated, thank you.
I'd also like to know this :)

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can confirm some information for me regarding the AP hotel discounts. My DH and I would like to book SL and the Golden Forest Club level. I saw on the AP website that the 35% discount doesn't include most club levels at the DLPR with the exception of SL. Is this true?
Also, is there only a block of rooms allotted for APs and the discount? I'm curious to know how readily available the discounts are offered.

You can book a room with AP discount at the Golden Forest Club in SL. I did it last week also.
They do check first if they have a room available, and I believe that there is a maximum also. I believe someone told me a year ago on the reservation line.

As this is the only hotel with club level discount for APs, has there been any news of changes to this in the future with all the remodeling.

Well, I called the reservation line and was informed that I could purchase the Dream pass online with the printed method and call back with the confirmation number to book the room. She did confirm that GF was included in the discount (didn't ask about how many are blocked).
The strange thing is, the agent said that the rooms were 60% off, however, I had called the day before asking for a standard rate and the price I received today with the 'discount' was more than the previous quoted price. :-\ Dilemma...

Its correct; they have a test running at the moment with more room only discount for AP holders. They want to test if they can sell more rooms to AP holders with the higher discounts. If they do; they will think to keep the discount rates at higher levels.

My DH purchased a pass on the French site and used my cousin's address in France. We called the Dutch Disney line and were informed we'd have to mail in the form to order a pass so he decided to go a round about way and were able to purchase online and then call back in and provided the pass number and reserved the hotel with 60% off.

Hi myself and my daughter are travelling next week and i was thinking of purchasing the annual passes, as we might travel again before the year is out. My daughter has a disability she has an id card to show for this and I have a carers card also. I am just wondering is there discounts in place for this sort of disability for annual passes? Also We are arriving next tuesday if any annual pass holders are there at the time and want to sponsor us ;D

Annual passports are already heavily discounted and there are no further discounts besides sponsorship (10%) or large family (5 or more people, 20%), which are not cumulative. Guests with recognised disabilities may present evidence of same at City Hall which will entitle them at Cast Members' discretion to enhanced access to attractions, reserved area at shows and parades, etc.

carrydee44,
Have you tried FNAC Tickets website? I noticed you can purchase an Annual Pass online and have an e-ticket. I didn't attempt to purchase it but it may be an option for those outside of France. Having said that, I'm not sure if you receive the same pass number as you would on the Disney website, but I imagine you would.

I'm on the verge of booking a DLP trip & assuming I get it all sorted as per the plan in my head, I'll be there this day so happy to sponsor you. Once the trip is booked (give me a few days for this) I'll get back to you.

OK...off to DLP in Sept...hoorah!
Questions on AP sponsorship...
I know the answers are probably within this thread somewhere but 111 pages is a lot of trawling to find the answers I'm after. With so many DLP experts on hand (you guys) I though I'd put my questions out there! Thanks :-)
My Dream AP expired last month, but my daughter's will still be valid so during our visit so...
1. As my pass only recently expired, I can get the 10% off my new pass from my daughter's pass but I as a recent passholder, my new pass cannot be counted towards getting the free year extension on my daughters pass. Is this correct?
2. My daughter is only 4, any reason why Disney would have a problem with her sponsoring & getting her annual pass extended? Anyone had kiddies APs extended through sponsorship?
3. My daughter's pass is a Dream pass. The passes she sponsors are likely to be Fantasy. Anyone know whether she will get a Fantasy or Dream pass extension?
4. I believe I have to fill in a form with details of the 3 sponsored people on to get the AP extension. Once I have this, what happens then...do I hand it to staff at the pass office, post it somewhere, something else??
All advice appreciated. :)
Thanks

1. AFAIK you cannot be sponsored at all and must pay the full price.
2. No idea
3. Dream – the extension you get is of whatever kind your own pass is already
4. You get the form stamped each time you sponsor someone, then you take or post the form and your annual passport to the annual passport bureau in the last month of its validity and they make you a new one with 12 extra months.
Note that the sponsorship and renewal all need to be done within one DLP season (season changes roughly on the first week of April and the first week of November, current season ends 2 November). This does sort of suck if your AP ends on the 4th of December.

The above answer for 1 is correct. You could have gotten 12=18-months-discount but that would have required renewing before the AP expired.
And for question 2: Disney does not have a problem with that at all. Our 3 year old son got his three stamps last Christmas and will be getting his free AP this october. Only rule is that the child has to be at the BPA in person to get the stamps (accompanied by an adult ofcourse).

Hi Guys!
So I've been reading through this forum and I have some questions, which I'm sure there are answers to here somewhere.... but I'm going to ask them anyway!!
I'm going to be at Disneyland from the 22nd to the 25th with my boyfriend, and we were thinking of getting annual passes, please can someone explain the three types to me and what their benefits and costs etc are?
Second of all, do the passes last a whole year from when you got them? Sounds silly, but I didn't know if they ran through seasons?
Thirdly, my best friend works at Disneyland, and she says she can get us a discount on our passes, is this correct?
Thank you!

Norhel's link should answer all your questions on types / benefits / cost etc.
The passes last 12 months from the date that they are issued.
I've no idea about employees getting discounts for friends.
You can get 10% discount if you are "sponsored" by an existing AP holder. To do this, find an existing AP holder and have them with you when you buy your pass. You will get a 10% discount and for every 3 people the AP holder sponsors, they get a 12 month extension on their pass. If this appeals to you, ask on this forum for sponsorship, giving the date you want to purchase your AP.
I think I'm right in saying that you can only get ONE extension to your pass, you can't do it year after year.

You can get people a 10% discount if you are using a free annual passport, but you cannot get a further free one via sponsorship.

Another question sorry. My son is 11 now when we buy the AP, so it will be a kids pass. Will it still be valid to use next year when he turns 12 (still within the 12 month validity), or would I have to upgrade to an adult pass.

If the queue of people, will remain open for longer?
Another question: I have a 3 years old AP Dream without an extension. Would they extend the validity or give me a new AP?
And can i buy and activate Fantasy AP if i buy it on a blockout day?

There isn't normally a queue at that stage of the day.
If you buy an annual passport it will be printed anew, irrespective of what you may historically have had.
Traditionally blackout days were ignored on the first day of your annual passport. That verbiage was removed from the French terms and conditions fairly recently so I don't know if it's still the case.

1. AFAIK you cannot be sponsored at all and must pay the full price.
2. No idea
3. Dream – the extension you get is of whatever kind your own pass is already
4. You get the form stamped each time you sponsor someone, then you take or post the form and your annual passport to the annual passport bureau in the last month of its validity and they make you a new one with 12 extra months.
Note that the sponsorship and renewal all need to be done within one DLP season (season changes roughly on the first week of April and the first week of November, current season ends 2 November). This does sort of suck if your AP ends on the 4th of December.
@ Stiffle,
I have informed in regards to subject 4 before. I was informed that it doesn't matter if you would get your stamps during the previous season. However you need to get all stamps within one season, you will always be able to use this complete form, for your next renewal of the current passport. You do not need to get your stamps in the same period as the renewal!

If we get an annual pass does that mean that in future bookings we get:
35% off bookings that include half board offers already added as a promotion?
Same with flash sales if its 35% off do you then get an additional 35% off?
Are you able to book hotels online with AP or is it over the phone?
As we are most probably going 3 or 4 times next year makes a lot of sense to me to get ours when we go next in November

Booking hotels with the AP discount must be done over the phone and is not cumulative with any other offers.

I think the Disney offers usually outweigh the discount that an AP would get you.
However, if you have an AP, you can just book a room for one of your party, then the other AP holders turn up, stay in the room and just pay tourist tax.
I don't think its possible to book a room without having park tickets included (and paid for).

We are looking to buy Fantasy ap but our arrival day is a blackout day..Am I right in thinking we can buy 1 day passes at the gate and then pay inside to upgrade to fantasy pass,,assuming there will be no price difference we just pay the difference between a 1 day pass and a Fantasy Ap and gain entry on the blackout date?

We are looking to buy Fantasy ap but our arrival day is a blackout day..Am I right in thinking we can buy 1 day passes at the gate and then pay inside to upgrade to fantasy pass,,assuming there will be no price difference we just pay the difference between a 1 day pass and a Fantasy Ap and gain entry on the blackout date?
Yes, you are correct. :)

This process is for all new AP holders? When i have a sponzor, i MUST buy normal ticket for 1 Day and date with my sponsor will meet up at the park office AP (not during the purchase of the ticket)? I must say at the box office, I'll buy AP Fantasy (in blockout day) in the park?
My English is not good, so I'm asking. Can you please write what I want at the box office and what to have with me? I make me confused now. Thank you :)
edit: I thought at the cash buy AP Fantasy (on blockout day) with sponsor and go to the office at the park (with sponzor) let me give a card.

Hi,
We're planning on going to disney next year and buying 5 Fantasy Annual Passes. I was just wondering how we go about getting the 20% discount. I heard you pay for the annual passes at the gate, and then go to the annual pass office, so will we get the 20% discount at the gate?
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! I can't find an answer anywhere online!

You also need a paper from your own city hall, if I'm not mistaken, as proof you all live on the same address, in order to get the family discount.

Thank you! I knew we had to have proof but I thought our own proof of address and the children's birth certificates would be proof enough. I'm not sure if our town hall does anything like that, I'll have to look into it and see.

Not sure about other countries, but in Belgium, and mine is a special case, as we have 2 houses on the same address (my uncle who), house numbers are the regular street number but A or B next to it.
But when I go to city hall and need something changed on my ID, they can still see my uncle lives at the same address (even though he is on nr B), but they can print that out, so it shows everyone who lives on that address.

I've just found out there's a form I can get printed off from the local council, but that only shows adults at my address and doesn't show children as they don't hold records for people at the address under the age of 16.
Has anyone bought the family passes before and showed proof?

Does anyone know if we will be able to renew passes with the extra six months added as per usual at this time. All I can find is info saying that you can renew in the same month?

I've heard you can get a renewal application form you can fill in at home and send off for the renewal. You can pick them up when you're there, maybe not much use now but for in future :)
Does anyone know what identification you need for a family of 5 with regards to proof of address?

My question: we are DL California annual pass holders. Can we use these at DLP? Or will I need to buy them at DLP too?
Also, the place by the hotel where you have mentioned that you can buy passes-- can I buy the Francilian pass there for immediate use? Or will it still have the 2-day wait?
Thx all very much!!

Disneyland California annual passes are not valid at other parks.
I don't know what "place by the hotel" you mean, but Francilien passes always have a two-day void period the two days immediately after the pass is printed. They are intended for local residents who will visit from time to time, rather than as a substitute for buying a 3- or 4-day pass.

Going in a few weeks so will pop in to AP bureau and check. Its all about timing, seeing if the pass will cover another school holiday slot. Going 2015 Oct, NYear, 2016 Easter weekend, Oct and again for Christmas and NY! Greedy I know but if I can squeeze Spring holiday 2017 out of the same pass it would be great! We dont visit in the summer months as the queues alongside wasps and heat dont appeal. Queues in colder months dont seem to bother us as much!

Does anyone know if I purchase the Francilien AP online today with an E-ticket printout, will the 2 day void period start today (date of purchase) or not until I go to Disney (this weekend) and actually use the tickets?
I'd like to go Saturday, Sunday and Monday if I can, and since we will be returning later in the year for a day it makes sense to get the annual pass, unless I can't actually use them all three days this week due to the void period! Then I would probably just go one day this weekend instead, so in that case, no need to buy the AP- hope someone can help, I couldn't find any information on it! Thanks!

The void period is the two days after your plastic annual passport is printed, to prevent precisely what you are trying to do.

Thank you for your answer, but I don't understand the rudeness. "To prevent precisely what I am trying to do?" What am I trying to do that is wrong? I was trying to make last minute plans for this weekend, and since we already have plans to go to to the park later this year, it makes more sense to buy an annual pass, instead of two separate ticket transactions. If I had planned this weekend's trip a few weeks ago, I could have ordered by mail and received the passes in time for our trip. Since we just decided the other day to drive to Paris for a weekend trip, I was trying to see if I could get the annual pass to use for this weekend instead of having to buy 2 separate tickets for 2 separate trips. How is that any different than any other reason people buy annual pass tickets? I'm not trying to do anything against the rules, which is why I asked for clarification.

I'm sorry that you perceived my post as rude, which was not at all the intention.
The Francilien passport is intended for guests who live in the area and will be happy to visit on odd days here and there, outside the busiest times. ("Francilien" is a term used to refer to residents of/things in the Île-de-France – the area immediately surrounding Paris.) As it's cheaper than a 3-day 2-park passport, the 2 day void period is there to avoid guests buying a Francilien pass instead of one.
The Fantasy and Dream passports are intended for guests like you who want to make multi-day visits.

Thanks, I appreciate that, I just felt like you implied that I was trying to do something wrong. All the information I could find was only that there was a 2 day void period after purchase, and so I was trying to clarify if I were to purchase online when that void period starts. Wasn't trying to get around any rules..like I said, if I planned this earlier I would have ordered by mail and had the passes in hand.
I do know what Francilien means, but to my knowledge there is no restrictions on who can buy one, only, like you said, obstacles to make it harder for others who do not live in the Ile-de-France to use those tickets. We are within a few hours driving distance to Paris, so perhaps we would use the pass more often if we had them, but at this time we only have 1 future trip planned later this year so as a family of 6, it doesn't make sense for us to buy the other passports at this time, since at the price x6 it would cost more than the 2 separate trips, whereas the Francilien one would cost the same, but with added benefits.
My point in asking was that I didn't want to buy the passports online and not be able to use them more than one day this weekend, and you answered that for me, so thank you!

We are within a few hours driving distance to Paris, so perhaps we would use the pass more often if we had them, but at this time we only have 1 future trip planned later this year so as a family of 6, it doesn't make sense for us to buy the other passports at this time, since at the price x6 it would cost more than the 2 separate trips, whereas the Francilien one would cost the same, but with added benefits.

That annual pass is comparable to with non dissabled acces pass?
And has it the same perks as that annual pass?

I presume you need to get a ticket for the carer every single day at Guest Relations or ticket booth?

Yes you do but depending on who you speak to they will let you in for EMH. We spoke to a lovely lady at the gates who let us in. Another time, a man wouldn't let us.

I think the other way is by post. But I'm not experienced in this as I don't have a passport....

Do you just ring the number on the AP? Is there any benefit to doing this other than not having to faff about at the park? Or do you still have to go to the Bureau to exchange anything? Also one of our passes is a Disabled pass, does this put a spanner in the works??

As far as I'm aware you can renew by post and just fill in your creditcarddetails. Then send the form to France and some time later you get your new AP in the mail. That's what we did with our sons AP (granted, he did not have to pay but we added the parrainage-form).
For the Disabled pass Im guessing there is an expiration date on the green or orange card? You need to go to the BPA with a new doctors statement or your handicapped parking card and get a new one for the duration of the new AP.

As I said, the options are by post or in person. There is no option to renew by phone, and online renewal is (rather stupidly perhaps) only offered to French residents. To renew by post you would fill in the form at https://wdpromedia.disney.go.com/media/wdpro-dlp-assets/prod/fr-fr/system/images/bdc_apmp_renewal.pdf and submit it with your APs and credit card details. The new passports will be issued by post (you receive the card, no need to go to the BPA) and will be valid for 18 months starting the day after your current passports expire.
No clue about disabled passports I'm afraid.

The French website says in French that they will send you a renewal letter a month or so before expiry, but it then goes on to say that it is for online renewals and only if you have a French address. So it's not straightforward :/

Hiya folks,
Can I ask some (hopefully not too stupid) questions please?
I am frantically trying to figure out a way for us to afford to go to DLRP before Christmas, and I have come across the Supertrips offer whereby you get a combined Adult + Child Dream AP for £242.50. I was going to purchase 2 of these in order to cover me, hubby, eldest and youngest.
My questions are:
1. If I were to do this, I have seen an offer on Expedia for the 3 nights in the Dream Castle plus flights from Birmingham (UK) to CDG (Paris) and back for approx. £660. Does this seem like a good deal?
2. Is there a better way / cheaper way to do this? I have only ever shopped about on the Disneyland Paris websites or had different quotes from travel agents offering particular deals, so I'm totally new to this method of doing everything separately online. Totally wouldn't be fazed if I was travelling alone but obviously when you have your kids with you, you want things to be as seamless as possible!
3. Is there a shuttle from the Dream Castle to the Parks / Village? Is it possible to walk it in or is it too far?
4. My eldest daughter will be 11 in October, I know she is considered an adult when she hits 12. So next year when it comes time to renew the AP, she'll literally be 11 for a matter of weeks, will we be able to renew or will she need her own Adult AP?
5. Those of you who have purchased through Supertrips, do they have this offer frequently? I get my salary at the end of the month, just keeping my fingers crossed it lasts until then!
6. Finally, is this deal for the AP's as good as I think? Or has anyone come across any better?
Thanks so much in advance peeps!

There is no need to be relatives or even from the same country. My son (from the Netherlands) sponsored a family from the UK last year.

Lindavdende take a look on the Disney forum on trip advisor there is somebody listed on the sponsorship thread there for your dates. There has been a post this evening so it's on the front page.
Just a reminder we're going 25th to 28th October and can sponsor up to 12 people.

He emailed temporary tickets that you print and scan at the gate. We changed them in the park. The e-tickets are valid for 6 mths. AP starts the day you get it made in the park

When you have your AP, you can buy the photo pass for APholders.
Show them your AP and ask for the special photo pass that is valid for 1 year.
To check they gave you the correct one, there is only 1 card in the photo pass box.
(I alreadyheard stories where people got the wrong photo pass with their AP).

Anyone any experience of AP discount outside of DLP in a Disney store? I recently listened to a podcast (I think it might have been Dedicated to DLP?) where they discussed the fact that they'd use their AP's in a UK Disney Store and had gotten their discount. Is this accurate? Has anyone else got experience of this? I'm not sure if its because they knew the person was affiliated with the Dedicated to DLP site or if you can genuinely get AP discount outside of DLP?

AP = Annual Pass
Advantages? Let's take the Dream AP, most expensive one. 220 € now I believe? (but you can find a sponsor, so you can get 10 % discount).
Gives you 10 % discount on foods, 20 % discount on merchandise (10 % on limited edition merchandise).
Free parking, discount on day-tickets, discount on special event tickets (like Halloween soirée), Extra Magical Hours (you can enter the park 2 hours before it opens for general public).
Fantasy pass is little cheaper, gives you 10 % on food, 10 % on merchandise, and also certain % on day-tickets and event tickets, EMH.

The queue at the annual pass bureau inside was massive though and we waited for over an hour, I think it was because it was Sunday as the weekdays had no queues. We saved quite a bit as well with the discounts in shops and restaurants, we are happy AP holders!!

In October using 2 passes I sponsored 7 people via 2 groups and all 7 got the discount with the last 'stamp' just being lost.
You cannot get 2 free extensions yourself in a row. So one year free then buy the next.

But if you already gotten yours for free, you can't use the stamps to get the 2nd one for free.
Same with discount, if you got yours with discount, your 2nd one can't be bought with discount.

Hi
I'm coming to DLP on Saturday 21st November with two other friends - if anyone is interested in sponsoring us for annual passes let me know!
Question: Has anyone here every bought their Annual Passport on the phone in advance?
I'm just wondering if it's feasible to buy the passport in advance over the next few days, to save time.

You can buy the passport online in advance but not if benefiting from sponsorship. It doesn't save much time as you still need to go to the BPA to sign the forms and have your photo taken.

I attempted to sponsor 4 guests a week ago (with two sponsorship forms completed and ready). The Cast Member at the BPA said this wasn't allowed and you may only sponsor 3 per year. After some toing and froing she agreed to ask her manager who allowed the other guests to have the reduced price on a once-off basis but I was warned not to attempt to sponsor anyone else on my current AP
So just a cautionary tale if anyone is planning on doing this...

I always thought (and has been quoted in this thread) that you could sponsor as many people as you wanted - but just three would count toward your 1 year extension.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is covered already in the previous 124 pages somewhere but in a nutshell I'm aged 40 from the UK with a 19 year old niece. We love DLP and I'm considering getting us Annual Passes.
Can someone with experience of the AP scheme and living in the UK give me an idea of whether this is a good idea or not. I appreciate some things are obvious like the more you use it the more you save but I'm talking about practical aspects, i.e. buying it, do you use it as much as you hope, does it really make a difference, are there any drawbacks etc.
Any thoughts appreciated and Merry Christmas to DLP fans everywhere!

Hi upinthesky
As you say the obvious is generally if you are staying 4 days or more an annual pass is cheaper. From there it does not really matter if you end up going back or not, but of course it does make it relatively cheaper trip for returns.
It is really only suitable if you are happy staying offsite. The more offsite the better the value. If you go for say a partner hotel such as explorers or higher then its going to cost more. We stay often in Colligien or Bussy Saint Georges, we have a car but for the second you could get to the train. For instance last August we had a 9 night stay in a Novotel with extremely good buffet breakfast for about £630, a room for 4.
The biggest intangible benefit of the top two levels of pass is access to EMH. Especially if you go in peak times this is a really great benefit.
Other benefits of the top level (which we have) free parking, 20% off in Disney shops, 10% off in restaurants and in sit down restaurants we get a 'free' what is described as non alcoholic cocktail, it's a very nice fruit juice.
So if you are staying offsite for 4 days or more then I think for most it would be worth it.
Enjoy

We are going in July, staying in the Cheyenne but I am going to buy an AP so can save in the park & book again for trips the within my year time limit, esp a Christmas trip.

I've got some annual passport (sponsoring) questions:
I get to sponsor 3 persons, meaning I receive an annual pass for free.
1. Can I use this free pass voucher (I mean the "letter" I get, you know) just for renewing the pass or also for buying a new pass (if I make some months break for example)?
My pass expires in July 2015, but I may not go back before the end of the year (so renewing wouldn't be that clever).
2. (When) can I sponsor again to receive a free pass again?
3. I have in fact used the 18months renewing the last time. Can I use it again directly? if not, can I use it anytime (let's say after ,y second renewing or so)?
4. Everytime I make a new pass (meaning, I am not renewing, I am buying a new one), can I renew it for 18 months?
Thanks in advance, i hope everything is clear

Hey everyone.
Maybe this question has already passed here, but I don't really have the energy to go through all the pages :p.
I'm visiting DLP for 3 days in April. I've already bought my tickets so my question is not for this trip but for the next one.
I noticed that it's actually cheaper to get AP's than buy tickets for 3 days... Am I correct about this? I could just buy an classic AP then for my next trip? I know it's only for 280 days but still.
Thanks in advance! :D

There is nothing to stop you doing that... Just make sure the next trip does not fall on blackout dates.
In terms of the mechanics, the most straightforward way is to buy a provisional AP at the ticket booths and then take it to the Bureau Passeport Annuel at a convenient time. (In my experience from getting mine and doing several sponsorships, mid-afternoon tends to be quietest and the morning tends to be busiest.)

I will be going to DLP 12th - 16th Jan (very soon, getting excited now) ;) with my daughter and grandchildren (6, 5' and 1) and we are planning to buy annual passports. Is there anybody who will be able and willing to sponsor us?
Thanks very much
It is much much cheaper to buy children's passes from discount ticket store or supertrips before you go. Contact them to see if they can get passes to you in time for your trip.

Also, the 1-year old doesn't need an AP/ticket, if I'm not mistaken? (untill the age of 3)

No, I know we don't need one for the baby, she goes free and we already have passes for our trip, but we are planning on going back a couple of times over the year and thought we'd get APs. We will probably go camping in France in the summer for example and thought we could stop off at DLP overnight on the way there and back and we are also hoping to go for a few days in December

I am very new and am currently planning a trip to dlp (it's my first time planning, but not my first time going). I plan on taking my bf on the 9th of April, stay in the parks for the 10th, 11th and 12th and returning on the 13th.
As we are staying for three days I've read that it's worth buying an annual pass and as I am a student it seems I can get a further discount. Although, the more I read the more confused I get. For a classic pass I cannot use it for 2 days after purchase. But what about purchasing in advance over the phone? And if we bought the tickets at the park could we not use it for the next two days?
I've heard about getting a temporary pass but I'm still so confused. Any help would be wonderful xoxo

The Classic pass, which is the only one offering a student discount, is not valid for the two days immediately after you establish your definitive annual passport, i.e. the day you first attend the park and go to the Bureau Passeport Annuel to sign the terms and conditions and take a picture to obtain your plastic card. You can only purchase the student Classic pass in person at the park as you must show your student ID.
If you want to have an annual passport for your trip you will need to purchase the Fantasy passport for €179 (€161 with sponsorship). The price is the same whether you buy in advance or at the park.

I've been doing more reading about fantasy ap and found that it would be £10 cheaper than buying tickets just for the trip. So I think I might buy it, especially as you get extra hours and a few discounts.
Does anyone have any advice with a fantasy ap?

Check AP prices on discount ticket store and supertrips, compare them with paying at the park. Don't forget that if you get sponsored at the park you will get 10% discount.

We are going February 14th - 17th, most likely by the time we get down from Calais the 15th will be our first day, if anyone needs to be sponsored we have four annual passes, so can sponsor up to 12 people in total. (that's if the kids can each sponsor 3 people each as well)

Also someone can hopefully answer this for me - I see you don't qualify for sponsorship if you've had an annual passport in the last 2 years. I had one that finished in January 2015, I have moved house since then. will they know or can I just get a new one?
EDIT TO ADD: My plan would be to get them Monday 25th early evening if that is good

You aren't eligible for sponsorship. They will search on your name and date of birth to check.

Yeah, the conditions all seem a bit arbitrary but they are designed because APs are aimed at residents or locals who come to the parks an odd day every few weeks/months rather than guests travelling in, who they would prefer to buy a package in a hotel or a multi-day passport.

The number to call is +33825300500 for AP hotel reservations. There is no UK number. Make sure you have the membership numbers of all guests to hand. They will be able to tell you the hotel(s) that is/are offering AP discounts for your planned arrival date and sort out your booking.
Please note that very few rooms at the resort accommodate more than four guests so you are probably needing two rooms.
However, it's also worth checking online prices for one guest in a room as you can add additional AP holder guests at reception on arrival by paying a few euro per guest per night in taxes.

The family discount is better, you only get 15% with the Shareholders Club discount.
In any case, unless you're already a member, they've temporarily stopped the new membership applications for the Shareholders Club.

If any of your family are 11 or under you could buy childrens AP from Discount-Ticket-Store or supertrips (£80 for fantasy or £94 for Dream).
Of course, weigh up the amount you'd save against the savings you'd get buy buying family passes with 20% off.

Just a quick question. If there are 8 of us staying at the hotel and already having tickets, can one of us buy an annual pass and then that person use it to get all of the discounts or does everyone in the party have to have one?
also can the annual pass be used to get a discount in rainforest café and mcdonalds

One guest with an annual passport can get merchandise and food discounts for their entire party. I bought lunch for 12 at Blockbuster Café last month with mine. At buffets and table service restaurants it is expected that the AP holder is dining if he/she wishes to get the discount, and it is appreciated if all guests pay together and sort out the division of the bill amongst themselves.
The AP does not provide any reductions in non-Disney restaurants such as those you mention (it's also no good at Planet Hollywood, Earl of Sandwich, Starbucks, and King Ludwig's).

Quote from: pablo442 on January 19, 2016, 09:39:15 AMThe discount is off the total bill so you would have to have one bill for the entire group not a bill per family etc, get the discount off the total then split the cost between the people eating- you all end up with discount then. We went as a group of 13 which was 4 families, put everything on one bill. I had the AP so handed that over, got the discount then split the new cost between us all so we all got the discount.

Great,
that's fine as we are a family of 4 and we are going with brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their two kids so all bills will be split 50/50 anyway. So I walk into a buffet restaurant, order 8 covers, pay the bill getting the discount and that is it, even though no-one else has a pass?
and just one last question, as we have our tickets through the hotel i cannot claim that back, but i can go in on the first day and go and simply buy one annual pass from the ticket office?
thanks for the help guys

Yes, that is how it works with buffets. You normally pay on entry.
To buy your annual passport you can pay at the ticket booth and they will issue you a paper ticket to take to the Bureau Passeport Annuel. In principle you can go directly to the BPA but that might cause unnecessary confusion.

If you are a SPONSOR head your dates in that way and the dates you are available to sponsor but if looking for a sponsor (and one is not there for your dates to make direct contact with) head up WANTED.

Can anyone advise if I was to buy a child annual pass from supertrips, is that still possible to use by itself to get the restaurant and shop discounts. Are there any restrictions? Am thinking we would get £80 back on discounts as no meal plan booked and we are likely to spend a lot in the shops too (plus am I right it can be used in Disney store in UK?)

The discounts are the same, yes.
It is not officially valid in the UK though I have heard of some people blagging discounts.

We tried 3 UK Disney stores & they wouldn't accept it, one assistant even went to speak to management about it but they refused. Said it is valid in France but not UK & something about a type of American one would be, or shareholders card.

Ok, we don't have a disney store close so not the end of the world. Normally order online.
But does sound like we're fine for using a childs AP to get our restaurant and shop discounts at the park.

When both my daughters had one (aged 6 & 10) they went up & paid in shopsby themselves, handed it over for snacks & drinks & even got friends discount on their shopping, she just stood next to them. The kids loved it especially seeing the discount come through on the tills. We are toying with the idea of getting my daughter one when she goes in march with the school, just need a letter & a teacher willing to queue with her.

When I was in the store on Oxford Street last year, I asked it, and she said "I need to look that up", she came back, and she said: you are right, you do get a 10 %.
When the store was still in Antwerp, would also get 10 %.
*but* I believe this only counts when you have a Dream pas.
(so I'm not sure about a Fantasy)

Thanks all, I don't think my plan will work as just seen in the T&Cs
They must be registered with an adult that also has a pass at the same time.
The adult and child pass must also match. i.e adult has dream, child has dream.
So I can't just buy the child pass anyway.

The number to call is +33825300500 for AP hotel reservations. There is no UK number. Make sure you have the membership numbers of all guests to hand. They will be able to tell you the hotel(s) that is/are offering AP discounts for your planned arrival date and sort out your booking.
Please note that very few rooms at the resort accommodate more than four guests so you are probably needing two rooms.
However, it's also worth checking online prices for one guest in a room as you can add additional AP holder guests at reception on arrival by paying a few euro per guest per night in taxes.
Do they speak French or English when you call them? We asked Guest Relations and the AP office at the park and they mentioned you can go to the hotel and ask for availability there. Walked over to the hotels and none of them can see what the availability is.
Now I don't mind calling, but it is kind of strange we can't just see it online and make a purchase decision without having somebody on the phone.

Hi all,
I'm debating buying myself an annual pass this coming year. But what happens if I were to travel with family, who don't have annual passes and they want to book a Disney hotel + entrance deal?
Say I want to book a room with one or two other people, who don't have annual passes. I have heard conflicting stories on what to do.
Story 1 that I've heard is to book a deal for the other people, and just present yourself on arrival as an extra guest in the same room. I have been told the annual pass holder will then only have to pay the tourist tax.
Story 2 that I've heard that the above method won't work; the annual pass holder will have to book and pay a room-only fee (with 25% AP discount). That seems a bit weird to me, as the roommates have already paid for the room through their deal...? I could understand a fee for the extra person's breakfast, but no more.
Who has *recently* had experience with this? Please enlighten me. :)

In September we booked a room at the Seqouia using our AP. They only asked for one number even though it was a room for two people. They also never asked for the second AP when we checked in. So you could potentially just book it all with APs and later on have friends/family use the room.
I guess though that for none AP holders it might be cheaper to have the package deal. I still haven't been able to find a good spot to just find room rates (without the ticket package)

We did this option at Christmas. MiL booked the room for herself (pay 2 nights, get 2 nights free) and on arrival she got her park tickets. We (3) AP holders were added on to her room, paying just the tourist tax - we didn't get park tickets included, we didn't need them. We all stayed in the same room and all had breakfast included.
This was in the Cheyenne, so no problem sleeping 4 to the room. We rang up a few weeks beforehand to confirm that there would be 3 additional guests in the room.
Do some calculations to check how much it would cost for just one of your party to book the room, with the others buying APs. You might get a better deal.
Have a look at discount-ticket-store and supertrips.net, they usually sell APs for less than you can buy at the park - particularly if you are buying childrens passes.

Are the AP discounts on the hotel rooms worth it?
I know you don't receive whatever offers are running so is 35% off a full priced hotel room a good saving?

Depends if the other offers are cost effective - how long are you planning to stay, are you taking children etc.
Would "stay 2 nights, get 2 nights free" be better for you?

I am sure this question must have been asked before so apologies if so, I cannot find it!
The AP sponsorship form mentions sponsoring between November 2015 and March 2016, does this mean you only have a 4 month window to sponsor 3 people in order to get your free year? I was previously under the impression you could sponsor 3 in a year. I want to know as we are sponsoring 2 during our next visit in March, and wanted to hold off sponsoring one of our family members AP until September when we come to renew so they would be valid for similar timescales, but if there is only a 4 month window we may as well get theirs during our next visit too so that we have a complete sponsorship form and get a free year. Can someone clarify? Thanks!

There are conflicting reports! Some say you can sponsor as many people as you want, some say they limit it to 3 - so who knows!
Check the AP prices on supertrips.net or discount-ticket-store, they may be equal to saving 10%.

You have to do all your sponsorships in the same DLP "season". Season changes in the first week of November and the last week of March.
You cannot sponsor a renewal as the new guest cannot have held an AP in the last two years.

Thanks for your replies guys!
As for Kirsty's question: I think the only time you can get a ticket refund when buying an AP is for a 1 day ticket bought that day. You can of course get an AP but they won't refund the park tickets element of your package. An idea for you if you want to get the most out of your money... If you have others interested in going you can change the name of your booking to your additional friends name and then buy your AP and add yourself onto the room for the cost of city tax per night (a few euros) and this even includes breakfast! that way an additional friend will get the park tickets that you previously would have used, and you can use your AP...although it will mean sharing a room with an additional friend, but also means splitting the hotel room three ways making it much cheaper for all!!
For future bookings, AP holders get 35% discount off hotel rooms which are a room only deal with no tickets, but you need an AP in the first place to book one.

Hey Guys.
I'm looking at getting annual tickets for our first family trip in October but I really want to buy the tickets before we get there I'm trying to get my head around the process.
If you could give me some guidance please :)
Can you purchase the tickets prior to going and are they activated immediately or can you stipulate that they start in October?
I'm worried about the 3 days you have to wait after buying the tickets to use them as this won't work for us with the 7 days in Paris we have.
I also have a disabled child and note that a carer can be put on the annual passes, can anyone shed some light on this please?
Thanks so much.

How many of you are there and how many are children (that is to say aged 11 or under on your arrival day)? What dates will you be at the parks? These details will help us to recommend the best passes and best price.
Not sure where you're getting the idea that you have to wait 3 days before using the ticket.

Thanks so much for the help Stifle,
There are 3 adults (well one is 16) and two under 11's, but one of the under 11's has severe disabilities. I was thinking we could get 2 adult tickets and add one of us as a carer to my disabled sons ticket?
We will be arriving 22/10/16- 29/10/16 so I think I'm right that we won't be able to buy a classic as there are blackouts then? I'm happy with losing the Sat and Sun blackouts on Fantasy passes though.
It was this that made me think that you can't use the tickets straight away:
'Classic passports cannot be used on the two days following purchase.' and 'IMPORTANT: Passeport Annuel Classic, the lowest-priced pass, cannot be used on the two days following its purchase, meaning it cannot always be used instead of a regular 3 Day Ticket. For example, if you bought this pass on a Monday, you would not be able to use it on the Tuesday and Wednesday immediately following that specific Monday.'
I take it thought that Fantasy passes do not incur this same waiting period?

So whilst you can get four annual passports and use the carer entitlement for the fifth guest, you are as well off getting five. Main reason is because the family discount will kick in at that stage so it won't cost any extra, but also so that all of you can enter independently of the disabled guest should you wish to do so and if you decide to split into two groups you have maximum flexibility. You can also bring an extra guest with you in future.
You cannot purchase discounted APs in advance so you will need to buy them in person. It may be easiest to simply buy everyone a 1 day ticket at the ticket booths and take the five tickets to the Bureau Passeport Annuel where they will work out the difference for you to pay. Classic APs are aimed at local residents rather than repeat visitors; Fantasy and Dream APs have no extra blackout dates after purchase.
For the dates you mention you will need Dream APs. There are blackout days for Fantasy on October 22, 23, and 29.
I have not considered the possibility of buying the child tickets from a third party website (as for some reason they give discounts on tickets for guests age 11 and under which you can't get direct from Disney) so check into that if you want to, but I doubt it'll beat the price of the family discount, currently €892.

892 Euros is currently around 694 Pounds
So, sounds like buying from one of the above sellers would be cheaper.

Thanks so much you guys rock. Just running it by you, would it not be cheaper to wait until the Monday to go and get the fantasy? I know we miss a day but we wanted one in Paris so can do it on 23 (22&29th we will be travelling anyway :) )

Sorry but it is cheaper to buy 4 and get carer in free rather than buy 5. Say pass price £100. 4 would be £360 at sponsored price, 5 would be £400 at family 20% off.
However I believe a carer cannot get into EMH and for that reason I'd probably get 5 passes as long as all at same address with family discount.

One last question, if I buy the tickets now will that mean they run out next February or 365 days after the first use?

I also think you can go in buying one day ticket and buy your Fantasypass that day even if a blackout, hence getting round the blackout as long as it's at start of trip.

OOh good to know I was thinking I was being cheeky but I had pondered if that was acceptable ;)
So I could go buy a day pass for us all when we get there on Saturday or Sunday (blackout days) and upgrade to fantasy bypassing the faff on Monday and take advantage of EMH. That sounds like a plan. ;D

You're assuming you can find two sponsors, but that is true.
It is also correct that as a concession the blackout days are not applied on the day of issue of your first pass. This isn't in the terms and conditions any longer but you will probably be fine buying and starting your passes on the 23rd. To be extra safe buy 1 day passes on the gate and transform them into APs in the afternoon.
I would not see a point in buying right now though. If you have the money, put it in a savings account and earn a bit of interest on it between now and then. Plus, when my wife bought an AP voucher online for exchange at the park, the voucher had a 3-month validity.

I presume you're meaning the Classic Pass for £100?
Are you taking into account that they don't include Magic Hours or free parking?

To help with your planning do be aware that annual passports are not an instant thing. You buy your ticket on the gate as normal and then take it to the Bureau Passeport Annuel, where all guests must be present in person, and the CMs will need to prepare your contract for all guests to sign, take your photos, and print the passports. For me the process took just over an hour including waiting time, though it is very variable; I came to sponsor a group of guests another afternoon and we were in and out within 20 minutes.

No I was just using a made up price per ticket to show if you had a sponsor that 4 tickets are cheaper than 5 on the family discount. Personally I'd want to avoid the classic due to its increased school holiday blackout days and more importantly no EMH, parking and vastly reduced other benefits. It works if you go off peak or are a local (which is the one thing it is actually designed for).

Oh bum, just noticed this on the official site
'On the day of your visit and for up to 31 days afterwards, deduct the price of your 1-day admission ticket from the price of any Annual Passport. (Offer subject to conditions).
* Except restriction days
That will probably mean I can't go in and get the annual tickets on the black out days won't it :-\

It is an unwritten concession that annual passports are valid on the day of issue irrespective of blackout days. However, there's no guarantee that it will be applied for you. Up to you whether you want to take the risk.

Hello everyone.
We are thinking about getting two annual Dream passports but we are wondering if it's beneficial relative to booking an promotional arrangement. In the section "advantages" they mention you will get a 35% reduction when you stay in a Disney hotel. Is this valid the entire year because in the "conditions" section they say "10. From 3 november 2015 to and until 23 maart 2016. Offer valid in a Disney Hotel and depending from arrival date...". This seems to be a little bit contradictory.
When you have a Dream passport you need to call to a special number to book a room only. Where can I find the exact room rates for 2016?
Please share you experiences. Thanks in advance.

Hi there. The discounted rates are available all year round and are proposed for at least one Disney hotel on any given day of arrival. They are not published and guests interested in knowing the price or making a reservation need to telephone the booking line. The number is found on the leaflet you got with your AP.
My experience is that public rates are often cheaper than the AP rates particularly if you have multiple guests and one or more of them is not an AP holder. You can always book for fewer people and pay at the hotel a few euro per guest per night to add the AP holders on arrival.

No, you can't buy "children's" APs at the park, they only sell one type of pass there for some reason.
Passes for under 12s can be bought from supertrips.net and discount-ticket-store, either individually or as combos with "adult" passes.
When we bought our son's pass from discount-ticket-store (excellent service btw) we were sent a paper ticket to get him in the park, which we then exchanged for the "real" AP at the passport office. The pass started when we got the actual pass, not when we bought the paper ticket.

These are the "one size fits all" APs - same price for children and adults. Reduced price children's passes can only be bought online from sellers other than Disney for some reason.

Hi everyone. This is a really long thread, so apologies if this has been asked before...
My partner and I were planning on getting an annual pass this year, but with Big Thunder being our favourite ride, plus the fact we have a big Disney World adventure coming up this summer, we thought we'd wait a bit and benefit from the 25th festivities in 2017 instead.
So my question is - if we buy two-day tickets for 31 December and 1 January, can we upgrade those in the park to Fantasy annual passes, considering that, while 31 December is not, 1 January is a blockout date. How would that work?Would we only get the refund on half of our two-day ticket?
Thanks in advance...

Two-day tickets cannot be upgraded to annual passports. Only one-day tickets. You will need a Dream pass for what you're planning. For what it's worth, the difference between Fantasy and Dream is less than half the price of a two-day ticket, so even if you could do what you're suggesting it wouldn't be the best option.

Don't forget to try and hook up with an AP holder so you can get 10% discount.
Also, try and sponsor people when you re-visit in 2017 to get your pass extended for a year.

There is a thread listing people wanting / offering sponsorship, just add your names and dates to the list. There also used to be one on Tripadvisor, but I'm not sure if its still there.
When you get to the park, buy a day ticket on the gate.
Arrange a time to meet your sponsor at the Passport Office.
You will both fill out forms at the Passport Office and they will have their form stamped and a note taken that they have sponsored someone. The sponsor can now go and enjoy himself.
You will have your details recorded and have a (very dark!) photo taken. You will pay the difference between the price of your day ticket and whichever AP you are buying - less 10%. You are then given your AP!
When you know when you are returning, add your names to the list of people looking to sponsor. Sponsor 3 people in the same time period and you can get an extra year on your AP.

There is a thread listing people wanting / offering sponsorship, just add your names and dates to the list. There also used to be one on Tripadvisor, but I'm not sure if its still there.
When you get to the park, buy a day ticket on the gate.
Arrange a time to meet your sponsor at the Passport Office.
You will both fill out forms at the Passport Office and they will have their form stamped and a note taken that they have sponsored someone. The sponsor can now go and enjoy himself.
You will have your details recorded and have a (very dark!) photo taken. You will pay the difference between the price of your day ticket and whichever AP you are buying - less 10%. You are then given your AP!
When you know when you are returning, add your names to the list of people looking to sponsor. Sponsor 3 people in the same time period and you can get an extra year on your AP.
AWESOME, thanks for summarising so succinctly. As there will be two of us buying APs at the same time a sponsor will get a good two-for-one deal on our visit :-)

Don't forget to try and hook up with an AP holder so you can get 10% discount.
Also, try and sponsor people when you re-visit in 2017 to get your pass extended for a year.

Sorry but if somebody sponsors the two of you they will need a 3rd to get 1 pass extend, however they should not be refusing to sponsor you just as there are two of you as that is not in the spirit of sponsorship. I sponsored two in October then managed to get 5 more so ended up with two tickets set for extension, but I'd still have been happy getting the two their discount, good chat.

Hi... What I meant is that if an AP holder needs three sponsors to get their pass extension, surely arranging a meet when s/he can get two in one go is attractive? That way they only have one to go instead of two... Or have I misunderstood how it works?

You are correct.
We still can't get over what happened when we needed to sponsor just one person. We approached a guy n the queue (a bit dodgy looking, but we won't go into detail). We asked if we could sponsor him and he replied "yes" - if we paid him 60 Euros! We declined.

I have a question which I hope someone might be able to explain to me.....
I am an Annual Pass holder and will be visiting DLP in April and shall be taking along with me 2 family members who will also purchase Annual passes, however my query is do they still get the 10% discount on their passes as my pass was purchased in a different ticket 'season'????? Not quite sure how the ticket season thing works and would it mean I wouldn't get the sponsorship extension to my pass either??? I bought my pass in May 2015
Any help would be much appreciated???

The "season" thing means the sponsor has to do all his sponsoring in the same season in order to get his extension. So yes, you can sponsor them and they would get 10% discount. You would need to sponsor one more person in the same season to get your one year extension.
If you don't sponsor three people in the same season you won't get an extension.

Hi annual pass experts - me again!
Could anyone give me a vague overview of the tariffs at the hotels? Via the DLP website it's only possible to book hotels with park ticket packages. I assume that when I get annual pass, I'll have access to hotel-only rates to use my hotel booking discount on?
Now I know there'll be seasonal variations, but can anyone give me a rough idea of the per-night prices for any hotels, please? Thanks for all your help!

The only way to establish the price as well as which of the six hotels is the one available for annual passholders on the night of your planned arrival is to pick up the phone.
Be aware that the annual passholder price may not always be competitive with booking online as there are no 30% off/free half board/buy X nights get Y nights free offers or the like applicable. In particular if you have some non-passholders travelling with you then you can book online for only them and add the non-passholders on arrival for a nominal fee of a few euro.

We'll be arriving tomorrow at the Cheyenne --- booked with our Dram annual passes. We are saying for a week, three adults with breakfast, and the rate works out to 81 Euro per night.
Sorry, but that is the only rate I know to tell you at this point (note, we originally looked at arriving Saturday and doing so made the rate 157 per night for the whole week----arriving on Sunday really brings the price down!). I hope it is a little helpful.
And if anyone needs a sponsor, we'll be there from tomorrow until Easter . . .

Hi dencarter,

Anyway, with our Dream discount we are paying 81€ per night, total, for three adults with breakfast.
I guess that works out to about 27€ per person per night--though I do not get the impression it would have been much less total with 2 than with 3 people. I got the impression that the room price was the room price and the only extra we pay for the added person is a small amount of tax

THANK YOU! That's a great deal. I know the pricing structure is completely changeable, and doesn't necessarily make logical sense, but I appreciate the indication of what's possible. I've only ever brought hotel packages in sales which give great value, so it's good to get examples of how the AP discounts may compare :-)

I think we paid 1.60€ per adult per night at Santa Fe last month. Might have been 1.30

I have some questions regarding annual passes
If we have no park tickets, do I pay entry for one day at gate and then upgrade to annual pass once inside? Will they refund our money? Can we buy at the Donald desk before entry?
Our dates our 8-11 July can anyone tell me if these are block out dates I'm having trouble loading the website currently to look.
My friends daughter is 4 my son will be 7 he is registered disabled is there any concession that I'm not aware about?
Think that's all my questions for now if anyone will be there during this time let me know I understand there is some sponsorship thing but not entirely sure how it all works ::)

You can either pay for a 1 day ticket at the gate and then pay the difference when you get your full passports issued at the Bureau Passeport Annuel, or pay the full price at the gate. It costs the same total whichever way you do it.
7-10 July are blockout dates for the Classic Passport but you can use Fantasy or Dream.
Donald's Desk no longer issues Annual Passports.
Can't comment on disabilities but there is a dedicated thread for those.

There are cosiderable savings if you buy passes for 11 and unders before you go. Supertrips.net and discount-ticket-store have them for around £80. If you wait until you get to the park, children have to pay the same price as adults.

Have you done this before? I thought you could only buy annual passes once there? If so that's a big saving!

Yes, we did this for our son's AP a couple of years ago.
We bought from discount-ticket-store and they sent a paper ticket which we then took to the passport office in the park and they issued the photocard AP.
There may be combos on those websites too which are worth looking for - Adult pass plus child's pass may work out cheaper than buying separately.
With regard to buying passes beforehand or on the gate, you will still need to visit the Passport Office to get your photocard. They will just deduct the price of your day ticket from the price of your Annual Pass.
I don't think they refund your first days parking fee any more though.

Hi All
We are an extended family of 7 heading to DLP at the end of May. With the 20% family discount the Dream AP looks a great deal, and this forum is full of useful tips and hints, but does anyone know the following....
Do we just need to come as a family to get the discount or do we all need the same name and home address?
My Sister has a married name now and our parents live at their own home so we don't all have the same name and home address etc.
How do they check this at the AP office? What ID do we need to provide?
Any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
yes, you all have to live at the same address (or at least five of you). Use bankstatements, Insurance correspondence or such to prove that. Your sister should have her maiden name stated in her passport so that would be easy to prove.
Living at the same home address is one of the requirements - so make sure you have papers to prove that. You can ofcourse email Disneyland Paris beforehand to check whether certain forms or letters are "sufficient" proof. That way you might prevent discussions at the BPA.

9 of us bought dream passes one year, my mam, dad, brother, sister in law, nephew all have same surname but live at different addresses, myself, hubby, 2 daughters obviously have different surname & live at a different address. My brother just said we would like 9 & they were fine, we only used our passports & drivers licence.

In my experience they do not ask for proof of address, just ask you to verbally declare you all live together. Of course, different cast members will vary as to what they request.

It sounds like it isn't critical to have the same address but may be requested.
I'll check in with the CM on the helpline and cross fingers we can get the discount.

Plenty of people have had real trouble getting the family discount without full address verification that the CM accepts as such. Also if different surnames some people have had to have documentary evidence of how they are related.

In that case it sounds like the AP from Disney isn't a goer, if it's a risk the CM will question our documentation.
Is it any different if you buy an AP from a third party like supertrips?
They seem to be offering a Fantasy AP for £117 which is the same price as the Disney rate with the family discount.
That sounds too good to be true.

Third party sites are even better if you are buying passes for 11 and unders.
We bought our son's pass from discount-ticket-store a couple of years ago. We had good service and would use them again. They send paper tickets that let you in the park and then have to be exchanged at the Passport Office during the day for actual APs.
I believe supertrips are the same. People on this site have posted that they have used them without a problem, but we've had no experience of them.

Supertrip seem ok, they've had some bad reviews recently with people waiting a while for their tickets and poor comms, but the tickets do come.
Discount ticket store have even cheaper kids passes, so am going to take the plunge.
Thanks for the tips all.

Can anyone that holds a Annual passport tell me roughly how much you pay for a Disney hotel stay? I really think I need to invest in an annual passport for myself and my son but prefer to stay on-site as he's a wheelchair user. I understand prices throughout the year change depending on seasons ect but I want to weigh up the savings I can make if we still wish to stay on-site thank you!

When we used our dream pass we got 35% of the price for an on-site hotel so we got to stay at a higher priced hotel. I'm investing in another one this year to do the same again plus if you have a dream pass you can use it in shops & certain eating places & get 10-20% off the prices, it soon mounts up over a few days stay.

Hi guys. I have a couple of quick questions. Apologies in advance if they've been answered before, but also a big thanks for any help you can offer.
Firstly, does the 20% off for day tickets for non-AP friends with the Dream pass entitle that friend to benefit from Extra Magic Hours?
Similarly, does the 10% off at restaurants extend to others in the party, or is it only the AP holder?
Thanks :) 8)

No magic hours unless you stay at a Disney hotel.
The discount counts for the entire bill :)
(I don't know if you can show your AP for every person seperate, I just make them pay me back in cash, so I can pay the complete bill with my AP, haha)

Yes. You show those on the gate your hotel card which entitles you to EMH. AP holders just need to scan their pass.
For the discount the holder needs to show it. So in shops your friend can get discount if you are present & hand your card over. In restaurants we normally get it off the total bill then get everyone to hand the money over to me.

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to following this thread and it's incredibly long to check through 137 pages - hope it's okay.
We are a family of 5 and are considering getting AP's next year (this year's visit in sept is already booked) but we want to try and make sure that we will be able to afford to go at least 3 times during that year before we get the AP's.
When it says you get 35% off hotels, is that 35% off what would be the website price (which includes park tickets which we wouldn't need)? So, for example, we are paying £1100 for 7 days/ 6 nights at Davy Crockett this September (this includes park tickets and free half board meal plan - essential for us) so if we were AP holders, would our holiday have cost £715 (that's £1100 minus 35%) or would it be 35% off an initial lower figure because we wouldn't need park tickets? Say for example, 7 days/6 nights without park tickets would cost £800 to a non-AP holder (just a random guess on my part) so therefore we would be paying £520 (which is 35% off £800)? I'm basically trying to get an idea of what we would be paying for Davy Crockett ranch as pass holders compared to what our holiday has cost us for September. We always visit during term time when the prices are lower anyway but I'm still interested in seeing if it would be worth us getting the AP.
Also, as AP holders, booking a Disney hotel, would we still get the free half board meal plan or half price meal plan offers if they were on? We hate visiting without a meal plan in place!
Thanks for everyone's help. xx

Discounts are not cumulative with any other offer and you would not receive any free half-board etc. that may be available.

As explained in the terms and conditions you need to write a letter to the Bureau Passeport Annuel explaining the situation and enclosing a cheque for €25. They will then post you a new passport.
I have read that they will also accept payment by bank transfer but have no idea of the details.

Thank you, Stifle, for your reply.
I'm just curious because I hear so many people saying that the Annual pass saves so much money but I'm just not sure it's going to be the case for us. We only go during term time, when it's quiet, so we get the lowest price anyway, so unless the hotels are ridiculously cheap for pass holders, I can't see it being a saving for us. We are looking into the b&b hotel though as that seems pretty good value.

Hey folks!!
I know this Q has been asked a hundred times already but there still seems to be no definitive answer as of yet!
I would like to sponsor 4 people, I know that only 3 will go towards my AP, but will they honour the 4th person and give them the discount (they are in the same group).
I have read a few times people have sponsored over 3 and it has been no problem. I would really like to help them but don't want them disappointed!

I did 4 in one go in December. The CM had to get her manager to authorize it and said they would allow it in this occasion but not to try to sponsor anyone else again during the validity of my passport.

That's cool, I was hoping that would be the case as I haven't sponsored before so they should allow it, I mean, it is bringing them more business after all and I don't benefit any extra from it! Great news, thanks! :-)
Title: Ordering annual pass online
Post by: MichaelOS on May 09, 2016, 03:11:47 PM
Post by: MichaelOS on May 09, 2016, 03:11:47 PM
Hi we are travelling to Disneyland at the end of July and we found out that it is cheaper for us to get the annual pass. I ran Disney and the only way I can buy them is either the french phone number which only speak french or online which is in french.
I have gotten to the screenshot attached which has 3 options the only one that would translate was the 3rd one which I think says I can print a temporary one and collect when I visit the park.
Is this correct in what it says. I appreciate that this probably has been answered already but it is jumbled in 130 something pages. Is this even possible to do considering I am from Ireland.
I forgot to mention I am looking for 4 of the classic passes for €135 each

The first one is about paying the AP in monthly installments and getting the AP sent to your home;
the second one is about paying it right away and getting the AP sent to your home;
the third one you translated correctly.
So for the first and second option you send all the papers and a photograph and they send you the final AP to your home address.
If you want to get the 10% discount other AP-holders can give you, you cannot order them via mail. In that case you could by "regular" tickets for your first day visit (so you don't have to queue) and then buy the AP's directly from the BPA (where the amount paid for the tickets will be deducted). That saves you over €50 (provided you have not had AP's for the last 2 years). When exactly is your first day?

Why do you want to buy passes before you travel? If its so that you can get Magic Hours on your first day, then fair enough, buy before you go from Disney.
As NCC1701Q has said, you can buy an ordinary day ticket (won't let you in for MH - Do you get MH with Classic passes?) and then upgrade to an AP in the park. You can get a 10% discount by being sponsored.
You can also buy APs from third party websites which often work out cheaper, although I'm not sure if you can get Classic Passes.
If you are buying passes for children, you may be financially better off by buying Fantasy Passes for you whole party from third party sites, as they sell heavily discounted passes for children.
What country are you in? The third party sites we know are based in the UK.

I dont really care about the extra magical hours as they are not included in the classic pass either. The problem is that if I buy the classic pass when I arrive you have to wait 3 days before you can use the pass in the park.
I could buy the fantasy passes instead which allow you access straight away but they are €180 from the disney website which works out more expensive than buying the normal ticket. What website can I buy the pass from that you mentioned that was in the uk as I live in Ireland.

Michael,
I'm sorry for not reading your post carefully. Indeed - with Classic AP's you cannot use them for two days after the date of purchase. So ordering them through the mail is then the best option, if you are sure you want Classics and are not doubting about Fantasy or Dreams.
Additionally:
when you buy a new AP you can get an excisting AP to sponsor you - that means you get 10% discount on your purchase. That means you pay €161 for a Fantasy AP. The sponsor gets a stamp and with three stamps the sponsor gets an additional year of his or her AP for free.
About the BPA: inside the park you get the AP's from the Bureau Passeport Annuel. That is where the AP are issued. You can buy a ticket at the entrance, walk into the BPA and buy an AP there - then the cost of your ticket is subtracted from the price of the AP.

Just checked and they don't have any offers for child passes at the moment, which is unusual, but
Fantasy Passes -
supertrips.net - Adult £117.50, Child £117.50
discount-ticket-store - Adult £119.50 , Child £117.50

They will send you a paper ticket that lets you into the park. You then go to the passport office in the park and they will process the ticket, take your photo and print your actual AP.
Obvious advantages of a Fantasy Pass over Classic are Magic Hours, greater discounts, less blackout dates and free parking (although this isn't of use to you if you are flying).

Hi Zee79
We bought our AP from Super Trips for the adults and from Discount Ticket Store for the kids (they had an offer on at the time for a kids AP)
The Discount Ticket Store temporary passes came in a couple of days via registered post and the Super Trips via email ticket within the 10 days payment clearance window.
All seems above board and on the money.
Seems like they are the real deal, I'd go for it.

We got our AP's from Supertrips when they had a deal on the kids passes, and also a 10% off voucher code. It's always worth keeping one eye on the sites to see when the offers pop up as they can be a significant saving.

Id like to be able to browse Disney hotels online at different dates etc rather than ringing for specific date prices .

Am I right in thinking if I buy the classic pass but always book a Disney hotel would we still be able to use extra magic hours? We'd probably always book on-site. I'm aware you can't use for the following 3 days but we have 4day tickets anyway and staying in the Santa Fe but didn't get the deal for the 5th day with park entry but booked the hotel for the last night due to the French offer of 3 nights we just added an extra night room only because of price.
We would however mike use of the pass though only valid 280 days it's still great value.

Yes, you can use Extra Magic Hours if staying in a Disney hotel. Plus, staying in a Disney hotel overrides the blockout days of your Classic AP.

If you buy online your pass starts on the day you first visit the park and the next two days after that you do not get to use them. The Classic pass is intended for use by locals rather than in lieu of a 3-day ticket for visitors. You should look at buying Fantasy passes.

Hi does anyone know if there are any special offers when renewing the AP?
It used to be you'd get a free 6 months on renewal, so 18 months total, is this still the case?
Also, if I upgrade from Fantasy to Dream would it still apply?
Thanks!

The "pay 12, get 18"-offer still applies. However, I don't know about when combined with upgrading.
Are you in the park when renewing? Then I'd suggest you check with the BPA to check whether you can combine the two.

Since the parking garage at The Village has been taken over by a new owner, they are changing the AP-offer (which used to be park all day for €2,50) from July 1st, 2016, onwards.
The new offer is 25% regular tariff on weekdays, which means the new day-prices are €20 on weekdays and €25 in the weekend.
Personally I think this will cause the garage to get a lot more spacious during the day ;D. I don't think a lot of AP-holders will be happy to accept the 800%-price-change and will start using the "regular" DLP-parking-lot (again).
We used the offer/garage a lot in the last three years but I guess we're gonna park at the lot too. €2,50 was no problem, but €20 everyday when the parking lot is free is quite a difference.

Yes we'll be there in 2 weeks. The AP's expire in August. So we'll either renew while there or just buy new ones from a 3rd party vendor before our trip at Christmas. I just need to work out if the 18 months is better value from Disney than the 12 from 3rd party.

Hello, it's late and I'm lazy haha I've had a little skip through this thread but I just want some clarification really.
I'm really interested in purchasing an Annual Pass for me and my boyfriend. Can this be bought from the park itself even though I'm not French nor have I got a French address? I'm totally confused about you purchase it. I've seen other people say they've bought one from a third party site? Does this make it any cheaper than if I was just to buy one from the park during a holiday? Any information will be great
Thanks :)

Yes you can absolutely buy it directly from the park and you do not need a French address. As I always say, Disney is always happy to take your money :)
You can pay for the pass at the admission booths and they will give you a docket that you can scan to get into the park and take up to the Bureau Passeport Annuel to do the paperwork and get your photo taken and card issued. You can go to the BPA any time that day and I normally suggest the mid-afternoon when it's less busy. You will need to present a form of identification (which you should be carrying anyway to comply with French law) and it can also be helpful to have your address, phone number, and email address printed (or written very clearly) on a piece of paper for the cast member to type in.

Hello, it's late and I'm lazy haha I've had a little skip through this thread but I just want some clarification really.
I'm really interested in purchasing an Annual Pass for me and my boyfriend. Can this be bought from the park itself even though I'm not French nor have I got a French address? I'm totally confused about you purchase it. I've seen other people say they've bought one from a third party site? Does this make it any cheaper than if I was just to buy one from the park during a holiday? Any information will be great
Thanks :)
As has been mentioned countless times, APs can be bought by anyone. They can be bought on arrival at the park or from third party sellers beforehand (often cheaper than at the park) e.g supertrips.net or discount-ticket-store.com.
If you buy at the park, you might like to look at being sponsored, although that will require a bit of effort on your part. Being sponsored means you will get a 10% discount on your AP.

Hi, Two questions: firstly- has anyone used their AP to book the Disneyland Hotel? We've got some big celebrations next year but it's still out of our price range unfortunately but if can get the hotel room discount it is achievable.
Second - I know it says two rooms but would I be able to book two rooms one time then few weeks later book another room? Just we need 3 rooms (family group of 11 in total)

You can also buy it from disneylandparis.fr and have it sent at home. You can pay the whole amount or choose to pay in installments.

Hi does anyone know if there are any special offers when renewing the AP?
It used to be you'd get a free 6 months on renewal, so 18 months total, is this still the case?
Also, if I upgrade from Fantasy to Dream would it still apply?
Thanks!
Checked with the DLP twitter team today. 18 for 12 months still applies, you just need to renew at the AP office in the park in the month leading up to the pass expiry date.

I have a quick question relating to sponsorship and the annual pass ticketing seasons.
In order to get an extra year for free on an AP, I understand that I must sponsor three people within one ticketing season. The ticketing seasons are each six months. But, can I get the three sponsors during the season during which the annual pass STARTS, or do I have to wait until the season in which my pass expires?

You have to get the stamps within the validity of the parrainage-form. That is the only time-concerned restriction (well, other than that you can't sponsor within the first month of your AP). So you might get all three stamps the last day before your AP runs out, or 1 month and 1 day after purchasing it.

Does anyone have any tips to use the dream pass to its full potential? My husband and I got one each on our last trip. I was disappointed to find that the free soft drink didn't seem to apply anywhere. I tried at planet hollywood, blue lagoon, pizza outpost but they didn't know anything about it. I got some money off which is great but not what I expected. Is there any advice on the best places to go/best way to use my pass?

Meanwhile, I have another question. I've read elsewhere rumours that there will be significant price hikes to APs soon. Has anyone heard this, and do we think this is a realistic notion?

They have been doing surveys about it and how people would feel about such and such a price. The highest price points mentioned were €299/399/499 for classic/fantasy/dream respectively.

I have been on the hunt for my Disney passes this year. (we are still going even though my wife is nervous). I was speaking to Supertrips and they offered me £10 off annual FANTASY passes with code FANTASY. We have always gone for Dream but there are different blackout days this year which mean we can go for pretty much all of August. It seems as if the agents are struggling as UK visitor numbers are down so much.

really hoping someone can help me out...(my hubby has declared he's not going to dlp and hence no good as a sounding board)
We are booked for a visitsecond week of feb, already all paid for , staying at the santa fe. I am strongly considering getting annual passes, as fas I understand I would only need 4 for my boys (aged 11,7,5,and 3) as 3 of them are classed as disabled, and would hence be entitled to free carer tickets (which I would have to collect each day that was visit the park? )
I'm thinking about getting the middle rate pass so less black-outs. What I'm trying to work out is whterh they're really worth it for us? - I'm only definitely planning another trip for april of may next year for 25th celebrations
I know that if I buy them I should get them now, before the prices go up, but right now hotel only bookings come with 50% off, but I don't think that's normal?
We usually book with the 30% off AND free half board, although again, theres no definite that this will contuinue to be offered.
Also if we get the passes can we still book meal plans - do we get discount on those?
AND is it right that I could just book two rooms using my sons annual passes, but just book as if there is only one person in the room, and then add others to the room at booking paying occupancy tax or whatever it is?
AND if we do that do you still get breakfast?
Please advise, I could really do with having some input to help me decide.

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on here. I have had a browse through this thread, and also posted on a Facebook group. I am struggling to get my head round how the annual pass works.
Myself, husband, daughter 5, and son 1, are planning to go to DLP 24-27th oct and then 30th May ish for 3 nights.
We would look to stay in Santa Fe and get meal plans.
We would like to do BBWW, ADC, inventions and cafe mickey split between the 2 trips.
How does it work with getting annual passes, using these for discounts on the hotel rooms, how does it work with meal plans?
I suppose my main question is what is the cheapest way to book these 2 trips and practically how do I need to go about it?
Appreciate the help :)
Emma

As you plan to stay onsite for both trips, I'd question whether AP's would be the way to get the best price.
The accommodation offers that Disney have (kids stay free / stay 2 nights get 2 free / free meal plan etc.) are usually better than the discounts available with APs.
Check the prices and offers on Disney's website - don't forget to change your country on the website so that you can see what offers are available to other countries. Can anyone confirm that, if you ring Disney, they will advise what offers they have on for other countries?
Café Mickey is due to close soon, so get that one in first.
Also, APs are rumoured to be restructured towards the end of the year, with prices possibly doubling or trebling.

Onsite is generally more expensive, but you do get your park tickets included. Offsite is cheaper - depending on where you stay, but you will need park tickets or annual passes.
Will you have a car, otherwise you will have to factor in getting to/from train/airport to hotel and back to the park? Check out prices of hotels around Serris - Adagio, Hipark, Sejours et Affaires are all apartments. Or, further out B&B, Campanile.

Currently got Dream AP for the family, which run out on the 15th August. Checked with the APB and they have the 18 months for the price of 12 months offer running, so given the recent info that the passes will be increasing quite a lot we are thinking about renewing to get the 18 months.
Does anyone know if you renew and then sponsor three new AP's would the 12 months be added onto the end of the renewed time? Or if I sponsored before I renewed would they also allow me to renew and get the additional 18 months?
Thanks in advance, as I may need to head off to the park this afternoon if I need to renew before sponsor to get the greatest benefit.

If you sponsor then renew you get 12 months, not 18. I asked last time.18 months is when you pay for renewal.
I don't know about the 12 months being added on after the 18, you'll have to ask them.

So say i bought a family of 5 AP tickets which would cost me 892 euro when i take my 20% OFF A Dream AP X 5 .
Now lets say i had these AP in my home right now and wanted to book a stay for next year .
How do i get rates for any particular hotel so i can check rates for hotel only so i can then discount my AP % off that price and make a decision as where to say . ?
Also would i get a discount or is it possible to get a discount on the disney meal deal options as i cant seem to see that option anywhere .
Oh one more thing , an annual Dream AP says i get 10% off restaurant meals so if i have x5 Dream APs would that mean i would get 50% off any one sitting at these restaurants ?
thanks ....

From renewing yesterday, the discount off all hotels no longer applies, seems to only be on Sante Fe and Cheyenne now.
Also the 10% off dining does not stack, so you would only get 10% irrelevant of how many have a AP.

We just stated we wanted room only, no park tickets with us all having annual passes then. It took a while to get through to him that we didn't want tickets, no language barrier because he was American. For a family of 4 ( 2adults, 2 children under 12) it cost us about £670 4n 5days during school holidays. Prices probably gone up now.

That was after 35% discount. I can't remember the full price but I know it was just over £700 for us inc the tunnel & petrol, might have been bit less. It was the other year not this year price or for next year.
We looking to book for December 2017, just waiting for my term dates (I work for an academy in a different town to my kids).

It takes about 1 - 2 weeks, depending on how busy it is at the BPA.

Just renewed, so got the offer of 18 months for the price of 12. Checked out the advantages leaflet and instead of 35% of hotels it has hotel Santa Fe and Cheyenne for from 97 euro plus tax.
Is this per night per room so 97 euro? or per person per night in a room so family of 4 would be 4x97 per night?

I would hope per room per night as otherwise it's making those hotels close to Disneyland Hotel prices ish.

Ive been looking at other hotels but my parents don't want to stay offsite now due to my father having to use a wheelchair now & we car share so need to be together. I have a friend who stays at the Explorers all the time, she loves it which is why I was looking at it. it will be good for my brother with being a family of 5.

We understand that the current offer for renewal is that you get an extra 6 months free.
If we renew a couple of weeks after our passes have expired, will the new passes run from expiry date or renewal date.?
We've also seen from a link in Envie that if renewing online you get an extra 30 days - is this in addition to the 6 months, or instead of? http://www.disneylandparis.fr/passeports-annuels/renouveler-votre-passeport-annuel/

I renewed by post today after speaking to the AP office in the park by phone. Yes you can get 6 months free but only if you renew before your pass expires. Once it expires it is classed as a new pass and not a renewal so no freebies

That is 100% wrong info you have been given. I spoke to the AP office on the phone from the UK. If you can't get back to renew your pass before it expires they recommend doing it by post. In fact if you gave them you email address when you got your first pass they will contact you 3 months before it runs out to remind you of these options.

That is really unusual. All 5 of us that have passes running out in September have been receiving emails almost weekly albeit in French. I suggest you give the phone number on the uk website a phone and explain your issue. If they can't help you they can transfer you to the AP office in the park. Hope you get a good result.

It really seems to vary with the AP rates. I just called for a four night stay at the end of September for two adults and a teen with Dream APs and was quoted 168,50€ per night (breakfast included) at the Sequoia

Thanks for that info, what I'm really trying to do is get a feel for hotel only prices and decide if it's worth it or not. Would you have a general per night price list of the other hotels you have stayed at?
Any chance you have stayed at the crockett ranch for a hotel only rate? That's where we love staying but haven't heard of anyone using theyre APs for discount prices.

As it happens, I also priced Davey Crockett when I called today. It was 147 per night and does not include breakfast. This summer we did a relatively last minute booking, for a weekend in June and were stunned to get 125€per night for a Premium cabin there (still no breakfast) with 3 adults and a teen staying.

We decided to bite the bullet and renew in person before the prices rise, but...
When we got to the passport office we were told that we couldn't have Shareholders discount and the free extra 6 months - its one or he other - so we declined both.
Our passes expire on August 17th, but we can't come next year until August 18th, so the extra 6 months suited us ( we actually only need an extra 2 weeks). So we'll start afresh next August and hopefully that pass wiĺl do for the begining of August 2018!
Also, we found you can only use shareholders discount in person, as they need to physicaly see the card.
Thanks evryone for your help about renewing.

Quote from: irishbhoy1888 on August 16, 2016, 06:50:25 PMwe've really enjoyed them (we got ours Christmas week). I think a lot depends on how much you enjoy just hanging out in the parks. how close you are, etc.
Wow, that's a great price.. That's what's really making me want to get APs. Just the fact we can go around whenever hotel prices are cheapest. Or even stay off site if needs be. Would you recommend APs?
For us, it's a 5 hour drive to DLP, so it is pretty cheap and easy to get there when we want.
We've had 10 nights offsite with those, so just parking all those nights nearly pays for one pass. And then we stayed a weekend at Davey Crockett's for 125 a night and a full week over Easter at Santa Fe for about 75 a night--plus we've used the discount for meals and shopping quite a bit.
We plan to be back for two more weekends this year (long weekend at the end of September and also for my birthday in December)---so we've really used the passes a lot-----without them we wouldn't have spent more than one week at DLP this year

If you want to buy a pass by post the pdf documents can be downloaded and printed from the disneylandparis site under "annual passports". Photocopies of id e.g passport alongside passport photos for each person is sufficient.

I couldn't find this information on the website. I'm leaving on the 1st and I need it by then. According to the lady I spoke on the phone with when I wanted to get one it should arrive on time (I sent them out on the 20th from the netherlands, the application arrived last week on tuesday). But I'm unsure as i haven't heard anything from Disney yet....

2 questions ---
1) Do we know roughly yet when the price of the passes will increase? We're going end of November. If tickets will be up in price by then, we'll be buying over the phone before we go.
2) If we were to buy them over the phone and have them sent to us (UK), when is the 'activation' date on the pass? Would it be a year from when we buy it, or a year from when we first use it in the park?

Nobody knows for sure if / when there will be big changes to APs. If there is no big change to the scheme, there will almost certainly be an annual price rise - can someone else advise when this usually is?
You could buy your passes from supertrips.net or discount-ticket-store, they send vouchers which you exchange at the park for your photo APs. The passes then run from the day you exchange them.
It could all be a big ruse to get people to buy new / renew their current passes....

It all seems very straightforward , the only problem is that my order total is coming to 1,115 Euros which would be correct if i wasn't entitled to 20% off for the family discount deal . That deal is being offered on the french site aswell cause ive checked .I tried in both monthly and pay in one go options and the outcome was the same .
Has anyone else had this problem

Cant help there. I gave up on trying to find my shareholders discount so I've lost about £60 which at the end of the day isn't such a biggie, I just wish I hadn't already booked tickets for next week :(

Seemed strange that they can't match the shareholders number with the person applying for passes.

There's not even a section on the application to enter shareholders info or indeed any information that would help a shareholder in how to apply.
TBH we weren't going to re-apply for AP's and most certainly not if/when the new prices are implemented but our jobs have changed and at the moment we work 4 very long shifts from Thursday to Sunday then have Mon-Wed off and lately have been travelling to Le Touquet and having 1 or 2 nights in a hotel, shopping then home but for the sake of an extra 2 hour drive each way, we may as well stay in the B&B hotel at DLP (which is cheaper than Le Touquet) and use the parcs

Woo and again hoo! Our annual passes arrived this morning!
Having been sent several email reminders that our passes were expiring in October we decided to go ahead and renew at this season's prices rather than waiting till December to get our Shareholder discount. We renewed our passes by post downloading the PDFs from the French site and filling them in, downgraded to Fantasy from Dream and still got the 6 months free. We didn't send any original documents just photocopies and new passport photos for the pass (which they also returned). We got an email to say that they had received our application and 2 days later they arrived. Yes everything was in French but for us that was OK and we felt that we were "in the loop" at all times, well done Disney! Start to end 2 weeks.
Now the hard part...trying to fit in as many trips as possible before end April 2018!
Soooo excited!!

How do i get an annual pass before i go to the park, as it works out cheaper to buy an annual pass and book without park tickets rather than having the package of hotel and park tickets!??
While what Disnayfanatic said is correct, you can also just buy a day pass & then go to the AP office in the park & they will use the cost of your day entry against the cost of a pass. You'll need your passports with you to get APs

So I caved and bought a Dream pass! We're going to use this for discount on merchandise, food and to go towards our trip(s) next year. I booked it on the phone to Disney whilst at our travel agent, but I got charged a total of £172 including the £3 for postage of the vouchers. Going by the current euro rate, the ticket alone should've been around £192ish. Has anyone else been charged at a lower price? How long does it normally take for the email to com through to confirm the order? We got the booking reference, but no email yet. (Booked at 5pm).

One of my APs expires in October & I'd like to beat the price rise. My French is more or less non existant so I'd struggle to navigate the French site. Could you pop us a link to the PDFs so I can do a postal re-newal.

The only thing I would mention is that if you choose to pay in instalments you may well get charged a conversion fee and foreign transaction charge as each payment is taken in Euros by your credit card provider. This could add up to an expensive pass option.

I couldn't get link to open - I assume I can just go onto DPL website and click on France as country at start of site, then click on the annual passes section to buy them?
Do I then just use Google translate to translate to English as I follow the process through?
I'm really torn whether to buy now as we're not going until July next year and had originally planned to buy them nearer the time, hopefully leaving us enough time on them to squeeze in another trip before they expire.
Now worried that if I do that, the rumoured price increase may happen and we couldn't then afford them.
Probably a daft question, but does anyone out there think there's any chance that DLP will pre announce a price hike before it happens?

I think I'm right in saying that no one knows IF or WHEN there will be price rises. Also, no one knows if they'll be the rumoured re-structured passes, or the current passes with the usual annual increase.
Its been a good marketing exercise to get people to renew or buy their passes early.

We've booked a package for Feb next year for 5 days and it was £825 staying at Sente Fe with std half board dining, we are thinking of maybe getting the dream passes while we are out there (2 of us) but are wondering how much it still costs per trip. We are taking Eurostar as it's easiest for us which was £200, I assume this can be cheaper if booking separate. What sort of price is a room for 5 nights with the AP discount? Can you still book dining plans with an annual pass or is it cheaper to pay and use the discount per meal?
Thanks!.

If you booked a package, remember you can't use those tickets to use to deduct the rest of the price for the AP.
As tickets needs to have a price on the back, and package tickets don't have a price on them.

The pay monthly option on the french site wont entitle you to your 20% discount , you will pay full whack for each AP . This is what ive been told by disneylands twitter account , So your much better off paying in full to obtain that 20% discount.

Weigh up whether you want to pay in instalments or save 20%. Also, do you think prices will increase by more than 20% before your next visit?

Hope somebody can help.
After reading that you could buy your Annual passes on a monthly basis we decided to apply online as this would spread the cost over the year.
We applied online(a bit of a nightmare as all the forms where in French) to cut a long story short we where issued our passes and used them in August. The direct debit payments where due to go out each mnth the first being August.
Noticeing that the payment hadn't been taken out we emailed the passport dept to find out why. They had informed us that they had tried to take payment but the bank had returned it.
I spoke to my bank who informed me they had not received the DD mandate.
I just want to know has anybody else had the same problems.
I am just going around in circles trying to sort this out.

Hi I'm very new to this so please bear with me!!
I've always booked Disney through a tour operator bit I've now decided I will be visiting Disney a few times next year and I've read somewhere if you are spending more than 3 days in the parks the AP basically pays for itself (if that's correct!).
What's the best way to get an AP? I'd preferably like the fantasy pass as this suits me brilliantly. I've read a few of these threads and I'm soooo confused! Someone recommended a company called Supertrips but it's £150 (more expensive that if I buy directly) but then do I still need a sponsor through that Supertrips?
I'm going March 10th so I've got plenty of time to sort it out but it's all so confusing?
Thanks in advance xx

current fantasy pass prices -
supertrips £140
discount-ticket-store £129.50
DLP €179 = £151 - or if you get 10% sponsorship discount £136.
If you wait until you go to the park in March, prices will have gone up, plus the Euro may have gone up or down.
If you buy from supertrips or discount ticket store, they send you a voucher to exchange for the AP - not sure how long you have to exchange it - ask them.
APs also give you free parking and discounts in shops and restaurants.

sponsorship is to get 10% discount of the price of the pass when buying in the park only.

Yes, once you have bought your pass (and have it in hand - not just a voucher) you can get all the perks that go with it - free parking, discounts, Magic Hours.

Hi,
I'm new to site so go easy on me, I have just returned from a great trip last week and looking into buying a Dream AP.
What I need help with is I have read that I buy myself one, then get the discount on the DLP hotel (35%?) only book my wife and 2 kids and add myself on check in? As I don't need park tickets. The saving made on the hotel would have paid for the AP. BUT I would have booked a meal plan, how would I get added to that?
Any help would be grateful.

Not sure if you can do that. I think to get the hotel discount, you'd need to book yourself in - so you yourself wouldn't be able to stay for free (actually you pay tourist tax of about 1 Euro per night).
What people tend to do is book the non AP holders in and pay full rate, then add the AP holder(s) at check in. So, not such a great saving as you were hoping for.
Also, I'm not sure you can add a meal plan for an AP holder that is added at check in.
Anyone, please feel free to correct any of the above!

After purchasing DLP dream passes online via the pay 11 instalments we are still having major problems with setting up a sepa debit mandate. The first payment should have gone out last month.
Our bank seem clueless. Has anybody else bought passes online and have opted to pay by direct debit I would love to hear if you had the same problems

Hi Wease,
Wondering if you managed to sort out what this problem was? I have just attempted to buy on the pay monthly option and received the exact same message. The cancellation email I also received refers to a 'technical problem'? I have had an annual pass in the past which expired 2 years ago - could this be the reason it's not letting me buy I wonder?

You give your bank the account number on which you need to pay monthly, and you bank does the rest, no? Your bank then grants a monthly payement.

Hi, no we bought annual passes 2 years ago by going to the park and paying for them there. The problem seems to be when English people buy the tickets using the 11 mnth instalment plan your bank has to be aware that a SEPA DEBIT MANDATE needs to be set us. This seems to be a problem with our bank as they are not aware of a SEPA. It is not like a normal direct debit that you would set up in this country why hence I think a few of us are having problems. Maybe they have decided not to allow other countries to purchase this passes this way until it is sorted out.
This has been a nightmare for us with the problem still not resolved. Payment should have gone out in August and September. You cant even contact the dept as when you do nobody speaks English and they just put the phone down on you. I have been communicating with DLP guest relation also. I just feel like I am getting nowhere,. I have suggested to them that I pay the remaining balance off the passes when we go in December but as yet they haven't gotten back to me with the answer.
The only way around this problem is to pay each mnth via a money transfer but if like my bank they charge between £20-£25 each transfer which I'm not prepared to do. If I was you I wouldn't even both buying passes this way. We thought it would be easier as we could spread the cost throughout the year.......little did we know how much stress this would be causing us doing it this way.

You give your bank the account number on which you need to pay monthly, and you bank does the rest, no? Your bank then grants a monthly payement.
You would think it would be that easy. When you do the application online you have to fill out a SEPA DEBIT MANDATE. this should be like a direct debit form in our country. You then post it to the company that deals with the finance side of the passes(not Disney) who then sends it to your bank with the instruction to set this up. On this form your put all your details plus your banks IBAN code. It should be that simple.
However as yet banks in this country don't accept SEPA DEBIT MANDATES from overseas this is where the problem is. My bank no nothing about a sepa being set up against my account. They are saying they have had no notification. Yet we have had two emails off the annual pass dept saying that they encountered a problem when attempting to take this months payment due to the following reason: The debit operation was not authorised.
This has been going on since the middle of August. They have however said that they wont suspend our passes until the problem is resolved.

To be honest, I've never heard of the SEPA thing.
Could it be because it's going from £ to € they are giving you a hard time?
When I go to my bank, and tell them: here's the number, I need a monthly payment of this amount going off. They do it, and it's done. It's how most people here pay their bills actually (pretty sure same in the UK?)
I find it odd you can't get hold of anyone speaking English.
Maybe there's a number here you can call? click me (http://www.dlpguide.com/guidebook/practical/officialcontacts/)

I'm seeing that with an annual pass you get 25 % off the room price at DLP.
I saw someone saying that it's still cheaper to stay at for example B&B hotel or Kyriad than use the annual pass discount for a DLP hotel.

The discount varies depending on time of year and availability. We've had huge discounts of 50% in February. In fact 3 years ago we were quoted £100+ for a 5 night at DCR but paid £480 with the discount

We have Dream annual passes. Sometimes we stay onsite, someitmes at Marriot Vacation Club (not cheap, but lovely) or rent a house. We've never priced Kyriad so I have no idea what it runs to know how it compares. Anyway, here are rates we have paid with our AP discount this year:
We stayed Easter week with two adults and a teen in one room at Santa Fe for 75€ per night, breakfast included.
We stayed a long (holiday) weekend in June with 2 adults and 2 teens in a premium cabin at Davey Crockett for 110€ per night no breakfast.
We will stay this coming Thurday to Monday at Sequoia with two adults and a teen in one room for 163€ per night with breakfast (that is the average--we had to do two serperate 2 night bookings to get a better rate this time)

Dosen't sound like to bad prices.

For those who have bought their APs online, do you receive any kind of confirmation when they are mailed? Or when you log in using your reservation number and key does the status change from "Confirmée" to "envoyé"?

Hello there. I'm in need of some advice! Hubby and I are Fantasy pass holders, and are unexpectedly able to go over Halloween this year, which is a blackout time. Can we upgrade our passes to Dream passes to allow entry? Can we do it in advance so we can purchase Halloween party tickets at the 30% discount? We will be arriving on a blackout day, so can we pay the difference at the ticket booth? And lastly, would we still get free parking with the Fantasy pass on a blackout day when we arrive? TIA :)

Hi
You can renew your APs as Dream ones once your Fantasy APs are due to expire but you can't swap them mid-term.

I have a question about the 20% Dream discount at Buffalo Bill's.
Is the discount off the web price (£47.70 on the UK site) or the full walk-up price of €61.90? Can you pre-book online?
Thanks!

You can upgrade your AP's, but you pay the difference for the whole year. So if you paid €179 for your Fantasy-pass you pay another € 44 to upgrade, no matter how long your Fantasy-pass will last. The new Dreampass will end on the same date as your current Fantasy-pass.
The parking is not free on a blockday, as you do not have access to the park on a blockday.

If you buy it online or oder it by post then the 2 days rule doesn't apply because it is issued prior to your arrival.

Hello.
Long time reader but first time poster...
The deciding factor for me between getting a Fantasy or Dream pass is in the difference in discounts received on the hotel rooms.
Officially I see the difference in discount is 25% vs 35% however from reading this topic and other the discounts given seem to be much more erratic than this.
I was wondering if the Dream annual pass does receive better discounts than the Fantasy or it is better to just save the money on the cheaper Fantasy pass?
Thanks for any guidance you can give. :)

I've just booked my next trip to DLP & when I rang them I was told I could not use my Dream pass as they have no prices available yet, I have to try earliest Match or preferably in the summer! (I wanted to go at Christmas next year) so I got no AP discount. This was strange because last time i booked for a similar trip at the same time I was able to use it & got 35% off with my Dream pass. My AP was a waste of money this time in my opnion, we saved nearly £1000 for 6 people using another company. If I was you I'd probably go with the fantasy pass as it's cheaper. I think it does often depend on the employee you get.

I think the Photopass symbol is pointing to the photo point at the exit to Buzz Lightyear (that's where we bought ours). You can buy the photopasses at the end of the rides that have on ride photos.

I'm very interested to buy a annual pass (fantasy I think), as I only live 1,5hours from Disney by train. Two questions though:
-no fastpass with a annual pass? Is this not a huge disadvantage?
-my family (3+ me) won't buy an annual pass as I would be able to go more due to work. But if we want to go together, what do? We buy a hotel package for three and I sneak in, or do we buy a package for 4 and can I get a discounted price? There must be a ruling for this, but I can't seem to find it, sorry!
Many thanks!

Hello!
Two quick questions about the guest storage at DLP for annual passport holders. My understanding is that with my Dream passport I can leave one bag for free per day:
1. How strict are they on the 'one' rule? If, for example, I had one cabin sized wheely case and one small laptop bag, would that be OK?
2. If my two friends who I'm sponsoring for a Dream passport have paid for their passport at the ticket booth but not yet exchanged it for the full pass at the bureau, will they be able to leave their luggage as well? (Or will we have to go into the park, exchange the temporary pass for a full one, then go back to store the luggage?)
Thanks as always for your expert advice, guys!

Quote from: dencarter on December 22, 2016, 08:47:27 AMI can answer the first one. You can leave 3 bags (unless it has changed since I got my pass in January and last went in July) and they are strict on that. I bought a new bag in the park and couldn't leave it as I'd already left 3. Luckily I could fit one inside the new one :-D.

If you're buying at the park, they only sell adult passes. You can only buy child passes from third party sites - they will give you vouchers which you exchange for APs at the park. If she is a child when she exchanges the voucher, I don't think it would be a problem.

Sorry you wont be able to exchange hotel package ticket for an annual pass. On the brighter side you will have got a great deal in Feb anyway. I had booked room only as we have annual passes but changed my booking to include the free meal plan as it was better value. This leaves us with 10 park passes that wont be used but was still a cheaper option.

I've seen a thread called 'sponsor' - what is this for? I just under the impression that we can just call up and purchase over the phone?
Is there a period where you can't enter the park if you buy over the phone? I know if you buy in person you can't enter the park for a day or two afterwards using the pass?
When booking hotels using the pass, what is the availability like? It says prices from 70 EUR - is this accurate, or does the 'prices from' mean that you very rarely get 70 euro rooms?
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you are "sponsored" by another passholder, you can get 10% off the gate price of an AP.
There are three levels of pass, each offering different blockout dates and levels of discount. The "Classic" has restrictions on using it the first 2 days after purchase and also doesn't include Magic Hours or free parking.
Never used an AP to get discount on Disney hotels, sorry. We buy APs so that we can stay offsite and enjoy the same privileges as Disney hotel guests. And stay longer / more often for a fraction of the cost.

Be aware of the date restrictions of fantasy passes. There are a lot more added this year particulary during Christmas and New Year.

And quite a bit in August next year - looks like we won't get away with Fantasy passes this year, it'll have to be Dream passes.

Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.
If you don't stay in the Disney hotels, where do you stay? I did have a quick look around and with the annual passes, it seemed to me that staying at Cheyenne/Santa Fe was the cheapest option. I'm open to suggestions :)

We have stayed at Kyriad, Explorers and Dream Castle. All are next to each other and still have access to a free park shuttle. Various degrees of comfort, room types and prices suits us fine. Check out booking.com for deals.

Sorry you wont be able to exchange hotel package ticket for an annual pass. On the brighter side you will have got a great deal in Feb anyway. I had booked room only as we have annual passes but changed my booking to include the free meal plan as it was better value. This leaves us with 10 park passes that wont be used but was still a cheaper option.
Thank you, I am struggling to get a good price for October as I only want to stay for 2 nights. Would I be better waiting for March?

You can also try the hotels between Disney and the shopping centre. If we have an extended stay, we stay at the Adagio - they have price breaks at (I think) 3 nights, 6 nights and 10 nights. For shorter stays we've stayed at the Sejours et Affaires. Both of these hotels offer apartments with kitchenettes. Many people reccomend the Hippark, but we've not stayed there.

There are also some very nice Airbnb places in nearby Serris. Five of us just stayed three nights in a beautiful apartment just 20 mins walk or a free shuttle ride away over new year weekend for just £250 total. Amazing value with our APs.
I've also just booked a Saturday night at Cheyenne in February for €56.

Hi we have a trip booked for March, however we're now thinking of purchasing Fantasy Aps from discount-ticket-store. I was hoping a helpful approach holder could answer a few questions for me?
First, is there any discount on meal plans if you book a disney hotel or are they full price?
If purchased from the website we would be exchanging the voucher during our March trip, will the pass activate then or on the first date of our next trip?
The current adult price is £134.50, would sponsorship offer a better price if buying direct on our next trip?
How does sponsorship work?
Sorry I'm a total newbie 😔 hope someone can help 😀
Thanks in advance!

Do people get discounts of food bills when you have used meal vouchers but topped up?
I went to Walts with an annual Dreams pass 2 days running, day 1 they gave me a free cocktail (non alcoholic), day 2 they said they don't do that!

Current Fantasy AP = 179 Euros, less 10% 161.10 Euros. Depending on exchange rate and whatever conversions charges you pay, this works out to be £137.56. So, cheaper from supertrips who've actually got a sale on and have them at £129.
www.discount-ticket-store.com has adult passes at the same price £134.50 and child passes at £129.50
They will send a voucher, which you exchange for an AP in the park- the activation date will be the date you exchange.

If i purchase a annual pass as voucher, do I need to pay for one day ticket to activate the pass?. Or once they see the voucher in the entrance they allow you to go to the Annual pass booths.

The voucher grants one-time access to the Park so you can go to the BPA and get the definitive AP. So no need for another ticket.

I have not, but with the small differences between their prices and the Disney-minus-10%-price, I'm sure there would be people willing to pay the difference in order to collect stamps for their sponsorform. When are you planning to go?

We used discount-ticket-store a few years ago for our son's AP. We had no problems and would use them again (if we didn't get a better discount with our Shareholders Club membership).

I think if you are buying 5 for the family you will receive 20% discount (effectively pay for four get 5th free). You cannot get the additional 10% sponsorship. Only one offer at a time. You can buy direct from disney online for this offer or at the gate.

I bought an annual pass for the first time at the beginning of January but i didn't received the red pack that helps you sponsor people, the cast member never mentioned and i was so happy to get out the passport office i only realised when i got home, i knew about the pack after seeing it on videos on youtube but what if i didn't know about it.
Could anyone help in contacting Disney about this I've had a look on their website and its all queues for holiday

Here is a link to the form on the DLP website
http://idf-parc.disneylandparis.fr/content/FR/FR/Locale/system/images/bon-parrainage.pdf
but its out of date - it runs until November 2016. They may update the online form in time.
You can get new forms at the Passport office - we've been made to fill in actual forms, even though we'd already completed forms printed from the website.
You wouldn't have been able to sponsor people when you bought at the beginning of January because you can't sponsor anyone until you've held your AP for a month.

The annual passport office is indeed in refurb. ED92 posted photos today on facebook and twitter that you can go to Donald's Desk and there are special annual passport desks at the entrance of Disneyland Park. They placed signs at the entrance so it should be easy to find I think :)

Hiya...its been a while (3 yrs!!!!)
We are planning a trip in early April and are considering 2 itinerary options, one including buying APs. I have questions..
Background:
My friend has an AP held for over a month
We are looking to get APs for me and my 2 kids (14 & 11)
We want EMH in case we stay offsite.
We are arriving on a Sunday but not intending to enter parks prob til Monday.
Looking at Fantasy APs
Questions:
1. Will the AP desk outside the park be open on a Sunday and what time will it close (thats our travel day)?
2. Will we get 10% off our APs if friend sponsors us? Plus she gets extra 12 months free ?
3. Do we need to do anything in advance, forms etc
The above plan, and staying offsite is coming up cheaper than a package, but only works if we can get our tickets on Sunday without entering park.
Any comments, alternatives or suggestions welcome! ;D

Questions:
1. Will the AP desk outside the park be open on a Sunday and what time will it close (thats our travel day)?
No idea on that one. I believe it is open at the moment, but that is because the office in the park is being refurbished and not sure how long that is for.
I presume you want to buy on Sunday so that you can get EMH on Monday? I'm not sure how early you could buy on the Monday and if it would be early enough for EMH - can anyone else advise?
2. Will we get 10% off our APs if friend sponsors us? Plus she gets extra 12 months free ?
Yes, as long as you all go to the passport office together.
3. Do we need to do anything in advance, forms etc
You will just need ID, they will have sponsorship forms at the passport office.

Currently the annual passport office is outside the park at Donald's Desk (opposite the main entrance of Disneyland Hotel) while the one inside the park is being refurbished. It means you're in luck as you'll be able to buy your pass on Sunday without entering the park. I believe that you'll need a Dream pass in order to use it the following day.

Small correction: only the Classic has two blockdays following the day of purchase. Both Fantasy and Dream can be used (on and) the day after purchase.

Thanks both for the info. Have also realised that if the office has moved back inside by 2nd April we are no worse off financially if we buy entry tickets and go to the passport bureau as they will deduct that from cost of AP if I remember rightly?

Yes. But you can also say at the ticket booth which AP you want, and pay the correct amount straight away at the ticket booth.

If being sponsored you'll want to meet your sponsor at the ticket booth anyway and pay for the AP at the sponsor rate which is €200 for Dream.

They don't arrange the stamps there though, that will be done at the passport bureau.

We were looking at getting 3x Dream Passes when we visit in August, using our shareholders discount to get 20% off.
As there's the possibility that there won't be a Shareholders Club in August, is it possible to buy passes over the phone before we travel and still receive discount? When would the pass run from - when we buy or when we first use it?
thanks

I'm not quite sure about the Shareholders-discount, but please be aware that the current system (and prices) of Annual Passes will change on March 29th.
At least the names will change (I have read there will be a Magic Annual Pass and a Infinity Annual Pass) but there are very strong rumours that the prices will also be increased.
So you might consider buying your AP's now (via snailmail) and add a copy of your Shareholders Card (or email Disney first to check if that will be accepted). That might end up cheaper than just 20% off in August.

To answer my own question, I received a reply from DLP that said I had to buy in person to get shareholders discount - it couldn't be done by phone or mail.

That's the six million dollar question (hopefully they'll be less that 6 million dollars).
The rumor is that there will be new levels of pass, offering different privileges. I don't think there has been any official statement on what these might be.

I assume that those who already have passes will have their terms of contract honoured and that parking and EMH will remain unchanged.

They'll probably honour EMH, but not the privileged parking (if that's whats being introduced). Current AP holders weren't offered privileged parking, so they don't have to give it to them.
We're watching things very carefully. We have 10 nights booked at the Adagio in August, with the intention of buying Dream passes. If passes become unviable, we have free cancellation on the hotel, so we'll give Disney a miss.

AS&S&O;
if you're willing to forego the 10% discount, you could buy your passes online half way through March: that gives you 6 months to claim your definitive pass at the BPA.
Ofcourse, you would have to pay them now, but that would mean you're not at risk of an unaffordable price-change.

Hiya
We are booked to go (Eurotunnel & Magic Circus) 2-6 April...by then the AP prices will have risen. ::) We were going to buy our Fantasy Passes x3 at the gate, using my friend's Dream pass to give us discount, giving her 3 parrinage stamps and an extension to her pass.
I am guessing that is now all up in the air ....who knows how much a comparable pass to the Fantasy will be and who knows if they will continue the sponsorship of APs?
As I cannot afford a nasty surprise I am buying my APs from the Discount Ticket Store (2 A & 1 C £405, activate by 17th May 2017) which is a price I am happy with. Sadly my friend misses out :'( but I could not afford to wait and be landed with an unexpected bill. It would be handy to know what the price rises will be as I really would have liked to do the parrinage.

I agree, it would be nice to know the details of the new passes (prices, privileges, sponsorship etc.) before the old passes become unavailable, but guess Disney don't want to release details.
It will be interesting to know how they cope with your vouchers for Fantasy passes when they are potentially no longer available. Can you email Disney and explain that you have been given Fantasy vouchers (as a gift?), but have heard they will no longer be issued?
Let us know if you glean any information please.

I have heard even the travel agencies do not get the details of the new AP-structure untill it is actually in effect, to prevent people from quickly buying AP's before the actual change. That does not give me the idea that the change will be minor....
We have full sponsorship forms for August this year and February 2018 - very curious what AP we get if Dream-AP's no longer exist by then.

Thanks for sharing! I have mixed feelings about these new passes - but on the whole they're still way better value compared to Disneyland.
Two question - it says that sponsoring three people will now get a six month extension, not 12. Any thoughts on what pass they'd extend you with? Are they saying that Dream is equivalent to Magic Plus, for example? Secondly, no mention of the discount given to people being sponsored... is it still 10%?

For us, the changes are not as bad as we'd envisioned.
We usually buy Fantasy passes, but expected to have to buy Dream passes this year due to there being so many blockout dates in August.
The Magic Flex seems to be the equivalent to the Fantasy pass - but no longer gives Magic Hours, and blockout dates aren't listed.
The Magic Plus seems to be the equivalent to the Dream pass, but with extra blockout dates. The blockout dates are between Christmas and New Year and Halloween week, which won't affect us.
So, Magic Plus for us.

Hi,
We're going to DLP in April (for one day to celebrate my daughter's birthday) & we're looking to get Annual Passes while we're there. We've already bought our 1 Day, 2 Parks entry tickets.
Am I right in thinking that if I take a bank statement showing the IBAN (& double-checking with my bank that they will allow the DD to be taken from my account), I will be able to pay monthly for the Magic Plus AP?
Do they take the whole amount of my Day Tickets cost off the Magic Plus AP price instead of the €55 per card? And would we still be able to be sponsored by a current AP holder?
I am also assuming they don't do Child AP's...
Sorry for all the questions & thank you in advance for your help!

I bought mine on the phone on 3rd November and received a voucher/ ticket that I have to redeem by 2nd may (will be redeeming later this month). Also, they gave me the sterling price which was £169 for dream pass so was cheaper than paying in euros.
I was also able to get ap prices for hotel rooms using my booking reference number with no problems.

Who did you buy your pass voucher with over the phone? Was that booking direct from Disney themselves?

Hi!
I'm from Holland and we're going to Disneyland Paris from Thursday 23 march till the 26th of march. We're allowed to give 3 people 10% discount when buying an annual passport. In change for the 10% discount we will receive a stamp to collect a free year (3 stamps is one year). Please reply on joy.viss@gmail.com if we can meet and help each other! :D
Greetings,

I bought mine on the phone on 3rd November and received a voucher/ ticket that I have to redeem by 2nd may (will be redeeming later this month). Also, they gave me the sterling price which was £169 for dream pass so was cheaper than paying in euros.
I was also able to get ap prices for hotel rooms using my booking reference number with no problems.
Who did you buy your pass voucher with over the phone? Was that booking direct from Disney themselves?
We're heading there in Sept so thinking I'll get a Fantasy pass for the wife if the voucher they give lasts 6 months
Yes, direct from dip by phone. I'd seen on a couple of forums that you could get a sterling fixed price over the phone before I bought it. This was back in October/November. Had to pay £3 postage as well. Arrived after just a few days.
For info, I used the call back option which comes up when you make a dummy booking on the uk site so didn't pay for call. Saves quite a bit if you're on hold for ages.

Just rung DLP to buy Dream passes and was told we only had 2 months to exchange the voucher. Also, the £ price was £169.
Can anyone confirm that they have bought their passes directly from DLP and have been told they have 6 months to exchange?
Frustrated!
thanks

Just giving my own recent experience:
I booked Fantasy passes yesterday from Fnac Spectacles, the part of the Fnac website that deals with selling event tickets. You can search that on google and then search for Disneyland within the website and you get all the ticket and pass results. I had to pay in euros the standard price and there is a option to either pick the vouchers up from an Fnac store, print them at home (for an extra 1.43!! - I went for that for convenience) or have them posted (I can't remember how much that costs). Two hours later, my vouchers were ready to be generated and printed and they are valid for exchange 6 months from the purchase date at the Bureau Passeport Annuel within the park. I have bought passes and tickets from Fnac before. I don't speak French and even though they have an English version of the website, most of the information for the pass is still in French, but google translate came to the rescue. I hope this helps someone.

OK, an update from us.
We've just rung DLP and been told that we definitely have 6 months to exchange vouchers for Dream passes. We've ordered 3, with vouchers to be posted to us in the UK (postage is about £3). We will be exchanging mid August 2017.
For those of you in the UK-
We asked for the price in Sterling and have paid £169 each (Euro price was €223 which is around £192), so quite a saving.
If anyone buys one of the new passes over the phone, can they ask what the price is in Sterling and then feed back on this thread? It may or may not work out cheaper, but definitely worth finding out.

Hey All!
I am maybe asking a really stupid question but.....can you buy a Classic Passport over the phone from DLP? And if you can does the email/letter that they send you give us access to the park so that you can get to the Annual Passport office to get your actual passport?
Also if you have purchased your Classic passport months before you go to the park are you still not able to use it for the 2 days following the activation of the passport? We will only be going for 4 days.
We will be travelling 20th - 23rd August 2017. Any tips or advice would be extremely grateful. We are a family group of mum, auntie, grandma, a 14yr old, a 4yr old and a 1yr old.

Does anybody know the validity period of the 25E gift card you receive for upgrading your PA's to one of the new varieties prior to the expiration of your existing one?
Here's my scenario. I currently have a Dream PA, I am visiting at the end of May (happy to do sponsorship if anyone is around) and would like to use my current PA for that trip to take advantage of the 20% merchandise discount on all the cool looking 25th stuff. But I was thinking of upgrading at the end of my trip to a Magic Plus PA for 16E to get the gift card. However, if I do this right as I leave, I won't be back until the RunDisney weekend in September and so won't be able to use it until then.

I don't know about the validity, but isn't the upgrade more than €16?
The current price for a Dream-pass is €223 where the new Magic Plus will be € 249. That's a difference of € 26, not €16. Or did you pay more for your Dream-pass?

I suspect these questions are still unknown at present, but if anyone has any thoughts or ideas I'd appreciate it...
- Do we know if the new passes Magic Flex and Magic Plus will be able to be used the day after purchase, like current Fantasy and Dream (but unlike Classic)?
- If I sponsor three people in six months and earn six months free does my Dream automatically transfer to Magic Flex or Magic Plus for the free period?
- If I bring a friend with one of my Magic Plus or Infinity 'billets-amis' are there additional blackout dates, and on Infinity could they accompany me in the reserved area for the parade and Illuminations?

Hi,
So like many I am planning to buy a dream pass before the 28th in order to save money.
My next trip will be April 18th, can anyone confirm that if i ordered over the phone tomorrow that the voucher would reach me in time?
Also can you use the voucher to gain privileges before you exchange for the pass? My plan when I get to DLP is to go straight to the park so I was hoping to benefit from the free luggage storage.
I'm going on my own for the first time so I have a lot of worries ahaha
Thanks a lot!

Ours took 3 days to be delivered to the UK.
If you are in the UK, ask for the price in sterling - its cheaper than the Euro price.

Hi
I have a Fantasy passport that expires in May. I guess I can renew it online as I saw the option. I intend to apply for the Dream passport before the 28th as the prices for Infinity are almost double. Anybody managed to renew his passport? When I saw the form although I saw the third option that indicated renewal, I did not see where you show them that you already hold a passport and input the passport numbers. Maybe they can check their records according though names? Will be at DLP April 12th for a week and I am covered up till then with my passport but for my August and Xmas trip I am not and have to renew asap cos of the price increase. Many thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

You can, but under the new conditions:
- you can't sponsor during the first month of the validity of the "permanent" AP (that's not actually a new rule but still valid);
- filling the sponsorform with 3 stamps gets you 6 months of free AP, not 12.

You can only subtract the price of one-day-tickets when buying an AP.
So multiple-day-tickets or tickets from a package unfortunately are not eligible.

Hi guys,
Just called 08448 008 898 to ask for a price in UK sterling for no.4 magic flex annual passes (£584) but the advisor said that the 2 day lockout period after activating the passes would apply. I was under the impression this was only the case with the Discovery pass as there's no mention of such exclusion period on the validity period pdf on the website. The advisor said the lockout days now apply to ALL annual passes???
Was this simply a misinformed advisor or was she correct?

To my understanding you can purchase tickets for families and friends at a discounted rate. Is this for any date of my choosing as long as my current pass isn't blocked out? Do they also receive extra magic hours?
The dates I would want to use my pass to purchase tickets would be for May 25 and 26 2017, which are blocked out for Magic Flex and Discovery but not Magic Plus.
Any info regarding these would be great. Thank you!

LeeDashann,
you are correct in assuming that you can buy the Bring-a-Friend-tickets whenever you want, as long as it's not a blocked out date.
However, there are restrictions to the Bring-a-Friend-tickets: you can buy a maximum of 5 per week, and a maximum of 10 in total.

Wow 50% now that is good. Can you let us know how you get on with booking hotel only and if you find there are any exclusions on that hefty discount. If there are no restrictions then it could be worth the extra money.

Hi, I have done a bit of research and I believe that you get hotel discounts with the top 3 passes. I intend to purchase the infinity pass next week and on the Disney website it states you get 50% discount on hotel bookings.
Wow, that sounds great. Do you have a link to the place where you seen this on disneys site?

Hey,
I've been trying to buy an annual pass on the French DLP website. I get all the way to entering my card details, hit submit but then get an error page saying my order has been cancelled and I will be sent am email as to the reason why (I've not had any emails). I've tried three times, even tried a different card in case that was the problem, but the same thing happens every time.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
Hopefully I've not been charged three times!

No answer to your problem, sorry. Maybe because of currency?
Have you looked at buying from uk based supertrips.net - their prices seem to be lower that DLP's. (I've no affiliation to supertrips, its justthat they get mentioned a lot here.

I may have to go down the supertips route. I was just hoping to have my pass ready to take with me rather than having to go and sort it all out in the park!

Hi folks,
I currently have a Dream AP and am considering the upgrade to Infinity. Does anyone know what the 'reserved viewing area' malarkey is and where it is? Just thinking it might be useful for the kids to make sure they can see. The amount of times tall people just come and stand in front of them just as you've gotten a sweet viewing spot ::) :D
I've had a mooch around the 'net and can't find any info on this particular 'perk'.
Thanks in advance x

Eventually about to plan the passports after months of planning! 1 last question though;
With the Magic Flex passport, are there any restrictions on entering the park on the 2nd and 3rd days after buying the passes like there is with the Discovery pass?
Going to be buying on Supertrips.

These two areas are areas you have to reserver by calling the special "Infinity concierge line" and then you can get a special ticket that allows entrance on that particular day.
The area for viewing the parade is in front of the Bureau Passeport Annuel, slightly to the right (in the triangle BPA, Castle Stage and restaurant Bella Notte).
The area for viewing Illuminations is on Central Plaza, slightly to the left.

Just back. VIP Parade is opposite where the parade starts across from disabled viewing area facing IASW.
VIP Illuminations beside Frontierland. Neither were great IMO. Went into AP Bureau to double check and these are the new confirmed spots.

Thanks for the update. They do indeed seem to be less great than the "old" places.
However, as there are still only a few people using these spots, I can understand DLP tries to make the space as small as possible to give other guests also a chance to get a good spot.

You can view the proposed discount here: http://dlptips.com/planning-tips/annual-passes/
So it's either 40% with Magic Flex and Plus, and 50% with Infinity.
But lately there have been people who called the hotels and got different percentages (most of the time being less than the proposed percentage) - so the only way to make sure is to call the reservation line and ask for the specific date you want to go.
Note: also check out room-only prices at expedia.com, they have very good last-minute-prices!

Have to say, even with the 40% discount the prices aren't great -- it's cheaper for me to book via Expedia for flights and hotel at New Port Bay than it is for me to book Sante Fe through Disney with the 40% discount!

Not normally, it's usually off all onsite hotels. When we rang we were told that my AP couldn't be used (dream pass) this was before the new passes as I bought it in July and was trying to book in October. We saved over £1000 booking with the Walt Disney company.

Not sure - I ordered through SuperTrips, though, and found the process really smooth. I do think their communication could have been slightly better, though. When you get the pass you have to reply to one of their emails and they 'validate' the pass but after I replied, I never heard anything from them so I arrived at DLP not knowing entirely whether or not the pass would work.
It did, though, and I had no issues at all.

Apologies is posted already. I'm new too this. when I buy the infinity pass do I just book a hotel then add my wife to the room on arrival. Will she when then get access to the parks and what about the kids aged 3 and 5 do I just add them also. With paying by the month it seems easy and with free stroller for the 5 days and free photo pass I'd be getting almost half the money back in savings. Not to mention restaurant and merch discounts. It looks like a no brainier even if traveling once a year just not sure how adding people to the hotel room works. Thanks.

You can either call the reservation line and add them to the room beforehand or do it when you check in.
Please note: you only pay the tourist tax, but the added people with annual passes do NOT get breakfast, even when it's included for the one the room was booked for.
So if you book the room for yourself, breakfast included, and your wife and kids have annual passes and are added to the room, they do not get breakfast and use their annual passes to get access to the parks.

I just priced tickets for dlp for my wife and 2 kids coming in at 577 euro for a 4 day 2 park ticket. I can get 3 magic flex annual passes for 577 euro. Makes sense too buy 3 annual passes with my infinity and hopefully get a good price on the hotels.

If you know when you're going to the park during the validity of your Infinity-pass you could even buy your pass by post, have it mailed to you a month before you go so you can sponsor the three Magic Flexes (get 10% off) and get another 6 months Infinity when yours expires (because of the restriction that you can't sponsor anyone in the first month of a new AP).

That's amazing info. That is what I'll do in November. I'll buy my infinity before I go and get 3 magic in November. I'm planning a surprise trip in januRy for my 10th wedding anniversary so they will get good use. Thanks so much for the responses.

Anyone know if Incan use my Dream pass at the special 'Infinity and Magic Plus' entrance gate (by the Parc exit)? I'll be visiting with two Magic Plus holders, and want to avoid any potential embarrassment!

Wow, this is interesting! I usually avoid Disney hotels in favour of the excellent Airbnbs, but with my Dream pass soon to be converted to Magic Plus the prospect of using a Disney hotel to avoid the Halloween blockout is very appealing! Has anyone here actually any experience of this? How do the entrance barriers 'deal' with blocked out passes in this instance?

Correct . If you stay at a Disney hotel then all block out days are null and void

If I purchase 7 AP's and apply for the 20% family discount (with all the necessary paperwork & id's proving relationship and address), can I purchase 6 Magic Plus AP's and 1 Infinity, or do they all need to be the same type of AP?
Thanks in advance friends... ;D

I'm not sure if you get 20% off on all seven, I think you buy five, get four, and then buy the other two "separate".
You could ofcourse sponsor the remaining two yourself, so you get at least 10% off.

I think you might be right about that. It says on the official site "Large family 20% off when you purchase or exchange 5 Annual Passports all at the same time." It doesn't say "5 or more." That's too bad. Thanks for the help. If anyone else has any experience with this one, please let me know. :-)

I'm sponsoring some friends for Magic Plus passes this weekend. We'll be paying for their passes at the gate and then exchanging them for APs in the Bureau.
If we get there during Extra Magic Hours, will my friends be able to come into the park, bearing in mind that they'll have purchased APs (just not actually physically in possesion of them yet)?
Anyone know the opening times for both the guichets booths and the Bureau Pass Annuel, please?

Is there any point in buying a meal plan with the discount on the infinity pass?
Does the infinity pass include entry into special events like the Halloween party or do tickets still have to be bought?
Are the eating and shopping discounts available in the Disney village or it just in the parks?

I've been looking into the infinity pass as well, trying to decide!
Meal plan: you don't get a discount on the plan if I'm not mistaken, you do get a 15% discount in the restaurants
Special Events: you still have to buy a seperate ticket
Disney Village: Discount is valid in the following restaurants in the village: Annette's Diner, Café Mickey, La Grange, New york style sandwiches and the Steakhouse, with a limit of 6 guests.
Disney stores in France are included in the infinity pass: http://www.disneystore.fr/trouver-un-magasin

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

Quick question. I'm planning on getting the 150 day passport when we visit next June. Now its valid for weekdays only in June but we arrive at the weekend. If I buy a day pass on Sunday, can I then go to the passport office and pay the difference? Will I still be able to stay in the park on the Sunday.
I'm guessing the answer is yes but I just want to make sure.

Yes (as you won't get a discount on the pass as it's a weekday and you can't get entry to the park without a valid ticket (or pre-paid annual pass!).
Also worth noting that you can't enter the park for 2 days after purchase when buying the discovery pass, meaning that you wouldn't be able to go back until the Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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

For the Discovery pass the weekends are blacked out. For the other passes there are no blackout days.

Hi i have a few questions about the magic flex pass ?
- I read that you get a 40% discount on hotels, if their a limit to this discount as i looking to stay in the sequoia lodge golden forest room and i'm wondering if this discount applies to this type of room ?
- it says that i dont get extra magic hours, if i stay in the hotel will they give me this or do i not get it no matter what ?
- If i buy the annual pass in advance can i get it sent to me before I visit and use it to book the hotel etc with the discount ?
- Lastly is it still worth getting the full board option when booking or is it better value to save the money and pay in cash with the discount that you get with the annual pass ?
Sorry if these seem like obvious questions i'm really sorry i'm just finding it hard to find specific information
Thanks :)

Hello Jules,
let me try and answer some of your questions:
- the hotel discount varies and is influenced by desired period, availability and annual-pass-type. So the 40% is not always everywhere. You have to ring to get the discount for the hotel and period you want to book. The discount is not for suites.
- when you're in a Disney-hotel you always get EMH (or EMT as it is now called).
- yes, but that also means the validityperiod starts on the date the pass is produced at the BPA. So the time the post needs to get it to you is "lost".
- This one I dont know as I have never used any kind of foodplans. I'm sure someone else on the forum can answer this one?

Doe's anyone know if you buy a Discovery Pass does it only start on first day you go to park or when the pass is purchased? I have accommodation booked for Jan 8 -12 2018 but am worried about the 2nd and 3rd day strike out. I've read on here that the old classic pass was started when issued but have been told that now they send a temporary pass that is only validated on 1st real visit and then can not be used the next 2 days.

AFAIK (and there are people who are much more knowledgeable than me about APs) the cheapest pass still has the 2nd and 3rd day blackouts so after the 1st day you use it, you can't use it for the next two.
I strongly suspect this is because a 3 day ticket is actually more expensive than the cheapest AP and this stops people using the AP as an alternative.

That is what they told me when I phoned. The pass is validated when first used; the renewal date is one year after it is first used. My plan was to order them around May so the blackout days would be past when we visit in June, but the nice lady on the phone said that wouldn't work. Im guessing its an obvious loophole they've closed.

I live in France and I am looking at buying 2 infinity passes for my son and I. Our next trip will be 5-6 December. I would like to purchase the passes as close to our trip as possible to maximize the year. Do annual passes tend to increase in price each year? I noticed this year's prices are valid until Nov. 2 - is it risky to wait to buy the passes after Nov. 3 ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :D

If your stamps were collected on of before the 29th of March this year, you will get another Dream annual pass. Otherwise it will be a Magic Plus.
The renewal form is the same, yes. Just cross out everything that has to do with payment and include a photocopy of your current annual pass.

Do you get discount on Castle Club?
I really want an AP but I'm not 100% sure how they work ;D. So if i buy an Infinity pass and I go for a few days with my mum (who doesn't have an AP) how will it work? I'd be wanting to stay in one of the Disney Hotels.

Discounts are on standard rooms only.
You can book a room if you already have a pass but you must actually have it in your posession as they need your card number. You cannot add a discount to an existing booking.
You can book for 1 person then add other guests at check in and pay only room tax.
If you have an infinity pass you can use it for meal discounts and shopping for your total bill but the perks like reserved viewing for parades will only be for the passholder...not your mum.

Hi guys.
So I have been looking at info for Annual Passes, and have noticed that there is now an option to pay a one off amount, and then pay 11 monthly instalments. Do you guys have any info on how this works?
I am aware that you can download a form (although the form is in French), and do everything via post. However, can you take the monthly instalment option when buying Annual Passes within the park, and if this is possible, is the Annual Pass valid on the day you buy it from the park and make the initial payment?
Also, if you can do this option at the parks, what sort of information do you need to take with you, as I am sure I have read something about a number from our own bank?
Hope you can help.
Claire :)

Hi, ive decided to ask for help here as its the site that regularly gives replies and is reliable.
I just purchased 5Aps (flex plus) on a recent trip to dlp and am on the monthly payment plan.
Now the reason i bought these APs in the first place was to have the option to get room only rates at dlp at discounts. Upon arriving back we have been planning next summers trip and i Decided to call dlp to get room only rates etc. When i called i was told AP holders cannot book yet and it would be nearly March again rates where available to me.Is this correct info?
If so i find it disgraceful treatment of holders who fund the resort and take time and effort to visit frequently. One off visitor's are better treated than me who actually lost the guts of a whole day on my 3 day visit a few weeks back queueing for the bloody things, which is another matter for a different day. Please tell me the info i was given is incorrect

Unfortunately that does seem to be correct. I have also heard from other AP-holder that they have been told to have patience for booking beyond March 20th, 2018.
As for the statement "we fund the resort"; that is not the way DLP sees AP-holders. AP-holders are known to bring the least profit, as they often stay offsite, use their discounts and eat offsite. Full-paying hotelguests (who usually stay for a couple of days which means they do not go offsite to have dinner because they don't want to lose valuable park-time) are the real "money-makers" for DLP.
Please note: the above is DLP's opinion, not mine! ::)

Sorry about the frustration; it is hard to not be able to better plan far in advance. We've had APs for three years now and have always found the above to be true---on the plus side, we've gotten some awfully good rates once it was close enough to be allowed to book.

No, usually discounts are only valid with definitive passports on new bookings.
You could try to cancel the current booking and make a new one?

You get a 6 month Magic Plus pass.
The main differences from Dream are the five blackout days between Christmas and New Year, and slightly less discount in the restaurants and shops. An added benefit is the 'exclusive' entrance to both parks, which is moderately helpful on really busy days.

Hi
We are considering buying annual passes for the family and as this thread goes back over 10 years, I am struggling to find the information to help me understand how to best do this.
We are looking at going 3-4 times this year with a view of spending a minimum of 3 days in the park with each visit.
The first visit is being planned for Feb half term and we are considering going a further 2-3 times later in the year. I have checked the black out dates and the magic flex ticket seems to accommodate all the dates we are considering.
The questions we have are;
1 - Are we best to purchase the annual passes ahead of our visit or can this be done on arrival?
2 - Do all members of the family have to have the same pass type?
3 - What is the reserved entrance (not on magic flex but may consider if worthwhile)
4 - Are there any 'tricks/methods/deals for obtaining these passes for less than what they are being priced at on the official website?
Many thanks in advance for any replies.

1/4. Some people do buy passes in advance from 3rd party providers, which can be cheaper. There is no benefit to buying a pass direct from Disney in advance as you'll still need to go to the pass office to have your photocards issued to you. If you're going to buy from Disney then you can get an existing passholder to sponsor you. This means you get 10% off the pass price (once they've sponsored 3 people, they get a 6 month extension to their pass). See this thread for people offering sponsorship - https://forum.dlpguide.com/index.php?topic=20130.225
If you're buying passes there, then just buy a day ticket to get in the park, go to the pass office inside the park at any point during the day & they will offset the cost of your day entry against your pass & issue you your pass photocard.
I will be there myself during half term (7th-11th Feb) so happy to sponsor you. Send me a private message if you've going to be there at these times & would like sponsorship. Alternatively, if you're buying 5 or more passes at the same time, you get 20% off. :)
2. You can mix your passes, so if you're looking at Magic Flex for your group, you can consider getting Magic Plus or Infinity for one member of the group if you think you'll & use the benefits that pass offers - free buggy rental, shop/restaurant discounts etc.
3. It's a dedicated gate you can use to get in to the parks. If you are early risers & are likely to be wanting to get in for extra magic hours (EMH) it means you can get in with little to no queue. Of course EMH comes with Plus but not Flex passes.

You get a 6 month Magic Plus pass.
The main differences from Dream are the five blackout days between Christmas and New Year, and slightly less discount in the restaurants and shops. An added benefit is the 'exclusive' entrance to both parks, which is moderately helpful on really busy days.
Thanks for the info. Magic Plus seems fair. Not bothered about going over Christmas anyway.

1 - Are we best to purchase the annual passes ahead of our visit or can this be done on arrival?
2 - Do all members of the family have to have the same pass type?
3 - What is the reserved entrance (not on magic flex but may consider if worthwhile)
4 - Are there any 'tricks/methods/deals for obtaining these passes for less than what they are being priced at on the official website?

Many thanks, this has made it a lot clearer for us. We are considering arriving on the 11th Feb (Just checking we can get time off work though before being 100%). If we can confirm this, I certainly will consider PM'ing you as 10% is a good saving.
Thanks again for your response.

Hi all
Ok I am looking at an annual pass for my family of 5 as seems far cheaper than a 5 day ticket.
Where can I find out a list of black out days please?
and is there a catch with the annual passes as it does seem good value compared to a 5 day ticket and even more so as we get 20% extra off being a family of 5
thanks in advance

Here are the blockout dates: http://www.dlpguide.com/calendar/annual-passport-blockouts/
And no, there really is no catch, except for with the cheaper annual pass you can't use it for two days after buying it. There are also plenty of benefits such as the shopping and restaurant discounts, parking, etc.
Remember you can also get 10% discount on annual passes if you're sponsored. Let me know if you need sponsorship. There are plenty of folks on this forum, including me, who would be happy to sponsor you.

If you buy the cheapest pass (Discovery) you can't use it during the two days following purchase. Eg if you buy it on Day 1 you can use it on Day 1, but you can't use it on Day 2 or 3. It becomes valid again on Day 4 (subject to blockouts, of course). Essentially the Discovery pass is very limited, although the tiers above it all come with a range of benefits that make them worthwhile, depending on your individual circumstances.

Ah so the others, you can get immediate use of. We are going to get the magic flex or higher so that should be good to go by the sounds of it.
Im just trying to work out whether the additional cost of higher priced passes are worth it though.

Yes the other passes can be used straight away.
In my view, the value of each pass will depend on your situation, but one of the most valuable benefits if you plan to drive to DLP is the free parking, saving €20 per day. We eat at the Disney restaurants a lot so we earn our money back easily in the discounts.

Thanks, I am still considering buying either 4 magic flex passes or 3 magic flex and 1 magic plus or 4 magic plus passes.
When I look at how we normally spend when we are there
- We normally eat in the park only once during the day as it costs €50 usually a time
- We normally buy a photo pass when we go
- I would estimate that we spend €50 in the shops on toys/souvenirs each trip.
We tend to drive there so we either stay at Davy Crockett or in Val de Europe area. The car park pass is useful because even if we stay in Val de Europe it's sometimes better to know you don't have to wait for a bus when you have tired kids.
So based on us spending 12 days in the park over a year, I am trying to work out what my savings will be by going for the magic plus.
We normally eat in cafe hyperion and it costs us around €50 a meal - so if we get 10% discount, we will save €5 a meal. That is €60 over the 12 days and probably. Im not sure what the savings we would make over 4 holidays for the photo pass but would say we would probably benefit from around €20 from souvenir shopping.
It looks like that it may be possibly worth buying 1 magic plus pass but is very minimal savings. I guess it would only be beneficial for the full family to have magic plus is it allowed us to do an additional break perhaps at a time when the flex is on black out.
Got a few weeks to consider and work this all out I guess.
Many thanks for your response.

As far as remember you get 20% off first so that's one free pass then 10% off the remaining total. They don't combine to give you 30%. E.g if it was €100 then they discount 20% first leaving €80 to pay. They then discount the 10% of €80 which is €8 so in total you would pay €72 not €70. It is still a really good deal.

Thanks for that! I have now seen your other post.
Its actually good of Disney to enable use of a discount on a discount ha.
If anyone is there on the 12th (we arrive afternoon) and would like to sponsor us then that would be great.
We are staying at the village and probably wont enter the park until the 13th to be fair.

hi
ive had 2 lots of different confirmation off trip advisor and off disney via twitter again today, you do receive the annual passes in the post as you include a photo either paying whole amount or setting up a monthly dd , and as long as you receive the pass more than a month before you arrive you can sponsor 3 people which gives them 10% off their passes and the sponsor gets 6 mths extended on their pass, so win win all the way, we are only going to order 1 using the online form and then buy other 3 to get 10% off and the disability you get 10% off and free daily carer entrance fee too, glad i got this sorted , not sure what clarethomer meant saying you had to sort photo pass out there and not worth ordering as you cant use for sponsors as this isnt the information ive been given

I think that this must be a relatively new option. If you ordered online previously for a brand new pass then you were sent a voucher of sorts to enter the park. You then had to go to the annual pass office located in the park to have your photo taken and plastic card issued. You could only do renewals online beforehand as they already had your details and a photograph on file. I can understand what Claire meant as it was a huge hassle unexpectedly standing in a long queue for people who thought it was already sorted online plus you couldnt then sponsorfor a month as the pass started the day you get your plastic card issued. If this is the new option then it sounds ideal for you. Let the forum know how you get on. New info and tips always appreciated here.

That sounds easier. Just be aware that your pass will still only be valid for a year so if you apply in Feb 18 it will expire in Feb 19 not when you first visit in April which is when your other passes will be valid from. Of course if you get the extra months added on then thats not a problem.

We have Magic Plus annual passes, if we are taking a family member away with us and buying Billets Des Amis for them can they use the extra magic hours?

Hi we are going to be getting annual passes by sending the application form on the Disney website and they send the passes through the post (have called to check you can and they have confirmed.) However it won't be until April that we will get them I imagine (based on how long it says they take to come) we are going end of may for 7 night and currently have booked through expedia to stay at Magic circus (26th may for 7 nights) it will cost us £969 for the 7 nights (to be paid on arrival). I know with the infinity pass which is what we are getting you can get discounted room only rates at Disney hotels. Has anyone ever used this for Hotel CheyennCheyenne or Santa Fe and if so how much would we roughly be looking at for the 7 nights in the above date for 2 adults and children (6years and 3 years). Would much rather stay in a Disney hotel if the cost isn't too much. Thanks in advance x

Can't say how much May will cost, but my daughter & I will be staying at the Santa Fe next month for an insanely cheap total of £170 room only for 4 nights with our pass discount! As soon as you have your passes, give them a call & see what they can offer you. It's pretty hit & miss with the price but worth a call nonetheless. Don't forget, breakfast is no longer included unless you pay extra for a meal plan.

Please help this very confused person! I used to think I was fairly intelligent but this Annual Pass business has got me completely confused!
I'm looking into getting annual passes for my husband and I for the first time (no children). I have been reading through all the post on here and I'm still confused! If anyone could help me with these questions I would be eternally grateful:
1. We are looking at the Infinity pass - but would you recommend we both have the same level of pass? Is the only benefit that we would both be able to get into the park on the same dates??! So, if we were only going to visit off-peak dates would it make more financial sense to get 1 x Infinity and 1 x lower-band pass?
2. Should I purchase both passes at the same time or is there some financial benefit to getting the 2nd pass a month or so later if I can get some kind of discount???
3. Sponsoring – does this have to be done in person? Or can someone sponsor me if I am buying a pass online?
If anyone has any other tips for 2 adults, please share! I apologise if these answers have already been given loads of times – I wasn't sure if the answers might have changed with the introduction of the new passes (and I wonder if it all might change again with the March changes???)
Many, many thanks in advance!

Let's see if I can shed some light on your confusion :)
1. If only you buy an Infinity-pass you cannot watch Stars on Parade or Illuminations together from the vip-area (that's only for Infinity-holders). Discount can be shared (i.e. you just show your pass when buying food/merchandise and get the highest discount). Same goes for parking in the Infinity-area;
2. If your husband buys it first and you a month later, he can sponsor you and get you a 10% discount. However, you have to buy your AP in the park then, not online, and he has to be there when you do.
3. Well, see 2:) You have to be in the park with the person you're sponsoring when they buy their AP.

Apparently the 3 lower AP's are increasing in price from 21st March by 10 Euros. Infinity AP will stay the same price.
Also new AP merchandise will be released. Lanyards, Pins, Mugs, T shirts etc. Only available in Flora's Boutique and on production of a valid AP.
Infinity areas such as dedicated parking zone and viewing areas are to be extended.

Interesting that they are offering new perks to AP holders - with most perks incurring extra cost.
"Spend money on an Annual Pass and we'll allow you to spend more money in the parks".

Well the Magic Flex is €189 on the website at the minute but is increasing to €219 ? €30 !?! Please someone tell me there's something wrong with my calculation. :o
So the website is €13 a month (after €55 initial payment) and the announcement is €15 a month (after €55 initial payment) ?? Something doesn't (pardon the pun) add up.

I was listening to a youtuber talking about it and was listening for the Magic Plus AP which we are looking at.
My kids were playing and being noisy when I was listening so I only managed to focus on the Magic Plus AP and assumed that it was 10 euros across the lower ones. My mistake sorry.
It looks like they are trying to either do away with AP's or make them so unattractive to people who have twigged that an AP offers good value if you DIY Disney that they will just do with staying off owned properties and doing a few days when they can.
This might be our last year of doing the AP thing as the kids are getting older and they've both said they want a day in Paris this year - the youngest will be 7 this year and he's opted for a Paris day as he wants to see the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. They've even mentioned in future re-doing Futuroscope or other stuff in France.
We tend to map our AP across August-August due to our jobs and holiday allowance. We used to have Magic Flex and its older equivalent and do DLP late August on the 'first' holiday and early August on the 'second' holiday in our year - the switch being necessary to get around the usual mid August blockout.
This year we are getting Magic Plus as we think the kids will cope with earlier starts and we are quite tied next year with other stuff so need the flexibility that Plus offers.

My family will be visiting in June. I'm thinking about buying the Magic Plus AP to get the food and merchandise discounts. I'm confused about two of the perks. 1st- the ability to buy one day park tickets at 20% off - maximum of 5 tickets per day 2nd - buying 1 day/2 park tickets for 39 euros - maximum of 5 tickets per week.
For my family- we are a family of four, we want three days in the park. If we have one magic plus's pass, we can then buy 5- 1 day/2 park tickets for 39 euros and 4 tickets at 20% off. This is less money than 3-3 day tickets. Is that accurate? How do we make those purchases? Are there restrictions that I don't see?

- yes, that's accurate;
- both type of tickets can be only bought on the day of use, at the regular ticketbooth at the entrance of both parks;
- no, there are not, except that you have to be present at the purchase of the tickets, but that's somehow self-explanatory.

Hi :)
We are going to Paris on 7th April for our Honeymoon, Sunday - Sunday. We are spending Monday - Thursday at the Radisson Blu Hotel Disneyland. Our aim was to spend all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning in the parks. Looking at the tickets, it would work out better value to get a Magic Flex or possibly Magic Plus annual pass. We have seen online that you can pay monthly for these. I just have a few questions and wondering if anybody can help.
1. Can we do this at the park? If so, what would the process be? We are completely new to this!
2. Do you need a high credit rating for this, or is your credit history not checked? (It's a serious anxiety issue my partner has with everything, if I can reassure him either way about it, it would be great, he just likes to know)
3. The dates we are going are available on the Magic Flex. We plan on eating at the park and getting a photopass, so in your opinions, would the Plus work out better in the long run?
4. Lastly, what would we need with us to set up the monthly installments?
5. Can you get sponsorship on pay monthly annual passes?
Thanks in advance! I feel clueless!

Hello, roughly what is the discount given on hotels? I'm finding booking through Disney for one person is extremely expensive and that an annual pass might be the way forward for myself.

The discount is very variable, depending on type of annual pass, dates you want to book, availability etc. There is unfortunately no way to predict discounts - you have to call DLP to get a quote.

Congratulations on your Honeymoon!
I'll try to help you as best as I can:
1. Yes, you can. Find a sponsor and meet up at the BPA. There you buy the AP, get the discount and set up the monthly payment.
2. No checking, you just need a bank account :)
3. The only difference between Plus and Flex are 10% discount on food (for the Plus) and the Photopass for Plus is €6 cheaper than the Flex one. I guess the Flex will do, because the Plus is more expensive and the difference (times two, since you need two AP's) is too big to compensate with the 10% discount on food.
4. Apart from all the usual papers needed for the AP, you need to check if your bank can process SEPA-payments. That is needed for DLP to get the monthly payments from your bank. You need to bring a bank statement or bankcard to give them the details about your account (IBAN etc).
5. Yes

Yet? Is their any promotional advantages like a few months free or stuff like that?
Im thinking of renewing but not 100% sure.
Also can I renew online and is it less hassle than when you first sign up?
My sign up at the Park was a nightmare with long waits etc.

Has anyone applied for their first annual pass through mail that live in the UK? I have downloaded the forms off the Disney website and was planning on mailing them as it says you can to get our first passes. Am I right in thinking you get temporary passes that you exchange on the day?
Does anyone in the UK use Barclays bank to pay monthly for the passes?
I know we need to leave plenty of time to receive them which is fine as planned on sending the forms off this week and we don't go until May.
Thanks

As above, up get 16 months for the price of 12. You should get an email two months before your pass expires with a link to a webpage where you just enter your payment info and you're done. It's super easy. If you're already within the two month period and haven't seen an email, check your spam.

You have a choice to pay all up front or over 11 monthly instalments. Very easy process, much easier than dealing with the slow bureau at the park!

Just show your Infinity AP at the entrance of the parking lot. There you get a code you need to enter at the front of the parking lot (first 7 rows I think) to get access.

I only just found out about AP today and it will work out so much better for us to do DIY. I have a few questions, can i buy there? do i need day passes then do it inside or is there a kiosk outside? What happens if one of us is a carer, i've been told i could get a free carer ticket but im guessing this needs to be done each day?
The cheapest pass has a 2nd/3rd day restriction so if i bought in a friday would i not be able to use it until monday or wednesday?
Thank you

You buy passes online in advance or inside Disneyland Parc. If you buy a one day ticket at the park entrance, the amount will be refunded from the cost of your AP. If you're sponsored by an existing annual pass holder you can get a 10% discount. Details of sponsors is available in the Annual Pass Sponsorship thread in this forum. Sponsorship is only available if you buy your pass at the park, rather than online.
If you buy the cheapest pass and use it for the first time to enter the park on a Friday, you will next be able to enter the park on the Monday after the weekend (assuming the Monday isn't a block out day).
Sorry i'm not aware of the answer to your carer question.

Hi all,
Kinda of a long question but here I go.
Myself and my husband had dream annual passes this year (expiring in July). Due to a serious illness we only used it once. We had a trip booked and due to my surgery we couldn't go. Disney graciously told us the money we had paided for accommodation could be used for a future trip due to the nature of the cancellation.
Next year we would like to go a couple of times so we are going to get annual passes again. So my questions are
1. We have a four year old, does he need an annual pass? I know it will work out cheaper than buying him a ticket each trip but if we decide to stay off-site he wouldn't have the emh. Is it worth getting him a amagic plus pass?or to pay the extra stay on-site and just get him a normal ticket?or is there another way to do it?
2. What way would anyone recommended to do it? We'd be looking to go at Easter and Halloween time. I know so many people have little tricks to planning it, I'd love some advice.
Thank you in advance x

This ticket Business is complicated! It might be too late but I've already bought a magic plus annual pass and printed it using the French site, thinking that I can use the five discounted tickets a week to get entry tickets for rest of my family and save some money on entry tickets and parking.
This was before I found this forum, just skimming through some of the posts I can see i May have got this all wrong :-[
The plan:
3 days 2 parks for 3 adults 2 children, best price was something like £725 from 365 tickets
So I thought to get Magic plus annual pass and use the discounted tickets available to annual pass holderes saving a few pounds on tickets and parking.
HAVE GOT THIS ALL WRONG? AND ITS NOW GOING TO COST ME MORE?

The Magic Plus offers 5 discounted tickets a week for €39 each (two parks), 10 in total.
Not sure what days you will be visiting, but if your visit is not in a weekend/monday that means you can only get 5 tickets.
So if one adult buys the Magic Plus, than you have four people left, which means:
1st day: 1 Magic Plus, 4 discounted tickets, cost €156
2nd day: 1 Magic Plus, 1 discounted tickets, 3 regular tickets (€99 each), cost €336
3rd day: 1 Magic Plus, 4 regular tickets, cost €396
Total, without the Magic Plus since you already bought that: €888.
So, without wanting to sound negative, you kinda got it a bit wrong :(
You might be able to use Magic Flex-annual passes, but that all depends on the exact dates you will be visiting. When are you going?

I am planning on visiting the park on 30th May 1st and 2nd of June.
Doesn't the magic plus also include 20% off full price tickets after using my five discounted tickets and also comes with free parking, which saves €25 a day, and discount it in restaurants and shops.

I've already booked a package for April 2019, am now wondering about buying an annual pass as we might have another trip before then. Does anyone have experience of changing a booking from a package to a room only with annual pass discount? Do you think it might even be possible?

Yes you're right, I forgot to include that in the calculation. Sorry for the confusion.
That means it changes to:
1st day: 1 Magic Plus, 4 discounted tickets, cost €156
2nd day: 1 Magic Plus, 1 discounted tickets, 3 regular tickets (€79,20 each), cost €276,60
3rd day: 1 Magic Plus, 4 regular tickets, cost 4 times €97,20=€316,80.
Total: €749,40
You could also buy 4 Discovery annual passes, that'll cost you 4 times €149 = €596. Saves you 153,40 plus the hassle of buying tickets every morning. The Discovery has a 2 day blackout after purchase but you could avoid that by buying it via mail (just send all the stuff to France and they will send you the annual passes back which means the 2 day blackout has been over before you even get the tickets).
That also leaves the option open of going for another trip.
The Discovery has selected validity dates, which you can see here: https://www.discoverthemagic.nl/content/downloads/disneyland-paris/dlp-jaarkaarten-blockdagen-discovery-mrt2018-sep2019.pdf
The dark dates are the dates the pass is valid.
The Magic plus does come with free parking and discount in shops, but since you already bought that one you get that anyway (assuming you travel in one car).

Discovery passes sound like a good idea, how do I buy them from the French site? I've had a quick look but don't seem to be able to find the right page or information. And will I get discount on these or will it be classed as sponsoring them? I have one more question, why is there 2 gray days after purchasing the ticket?
Thank you so much for your help

The Discovery-pass has 2 blockdays after purchasing them. This is done actually to avoid visitors like yourself to chose a cheaper annual pass in the parcs than pay for 3 separate tickets.
You will not get any discount or sponsorship as you order them through the mail which means there is no sponsoring possible. If you buy them in the parcs you can get sponsored but then you get the 2 blockdays on your 2nd and 3rd day of visit.
The orderform in english is here: http://annual-passes.disneylandparis.co.uk/content/GB/EN/Neutral/system/images/DIS8685_BDC_Regular-UK_BasseDef.pdf
The photographic ID mentioned is just a passport photograph. You get these back with the passes.
You'd need to fill the form out twice to order 4 passes, but can ofcourse send it in one envelope. It is recommended to send it via registered mail. Please note that in order to get the passes in time you'd have to snail-mail the form rather sooner than later.

Hi, when I purchased my magic plus I read on this forum to go to the French Disney site and print off a temporary ticket, which is what I have done. Is it not worth doing the same for the Discovery tickets? Or will the two gray days still apply because I haven't got the permit tickets.
Once again thank you for your help.

If you buy the annual pass online, the temporary ticket will grant you access to the park and you can get the definitive annual pass made. It will be valid one year from that date. But in the case of the Discovery-version, the next two days will be blackout days.
If you order the annual passes with the form, the definitive passes will be made and then posted to you. They will be valid one year from the day they are made and the next two days (when they're on their way to you) are blackout days. So when you get them they are valid for about 350 days (if shipping takes 10 days) but comsidering your travel plans that is no problem.

Finally we've made the decision to buy annual passes (should of done this years ago!) we've booked our hotel and travel, now we need to understand the options available.
My question is can we have the actual annual passes posted to us meaning we do not have to wait at the park for them to be made up? We go on 27-30 July so would need to know when to send of the forms ect.
Or is it that you always have to collect at the park it's just that my son has autism and will be extremely unhappy If were waiting for to long especially when he's used to us going on rides or seeing shows when we arrive.
I'm finding the whole matter quite confusing TBH and want to do it as easy as possible

Hi everyone
Visiting the first week of May (escaping home on the Black Thursday!)
Our Fantasy passes expired at xmas so I've ordered an Infinity for me and Magic Plus for the kids. This time DH can get in free with carer's ticket because our DD was diagnosed ASD last year.
So, my question - the free photo pass with the Infinity... where do I go to get this started? Is it the kind that lasts for a year?
We're staying offsite at Magic Circus this time - kids have wanted to try it for ages - and next time we'll stay onsite hopefully with good discount from the Infinity pass. It'll be over the summer as DS wants to do the Superheroes event.
Thanks everyone!

The Photopass+ is valid as long as your AP is.
You can get it at Ribbons & Bows – Hat Shop, to the right of Town Square in the Disneyland Park.

My husband and I recently got the Magic Plus annual passes on a pay monthly basis, during our honeymoon trip earlier this month. We now really want to go back during October half term, which happens to be during the blockout dates, we were going to stay onsite room only to avoid them but it's a lot more expensive than we thought. Can you upgrade your annual pass from a Magic Plus to Infinity, after purchasing already? I've tried looking online but can't find any information. I think it would probably work out cheaper overall to upgrade the passes than pay the price for the onsite hotel.
We really want to make the most of the annual pass, we're already booked to go to Majorca during July and the only other time off my husband has is October half term! We'd love to be there for Halloween. I was quoted £460 for 2 nights onsite room only and we were hoping to stay for a week as we did earlier this month.
Thanks! :)

Hi - I have a couple of Q's to be glad of any assistance anyone can offer, theres 174 pages to this topic so couldnt go through and reach each page lol.
Does anyone know where the VIP entrances are for annual pass holders, I have seen photos of the gates but no idea where to find them?
If i want to reserve space to watch parade and illuminations i know you can get a ticket at city hall as i did that last time as a 1 off, do you know if you could go once and get the passes for a 7 day trip of if you have to go back every day.
I know you can ring number to book but i am not sure if the infinity line is in English as it appears as a french number, I am not a fan of making phone calls but i can if it is relatively painless from others' experience.
Is it bad to get a ticket for each day I want to go there, might not want to do it all for parade but prob would for fireworks for sure, when i was in the area for illuminations in march it was pretty empty so was nice.
Thanks

- the entrances are at the very left side at the Disneyland park and the very right side at the Studios.
- you have to go there everyday or do it online and get the ticket from the ticketmachines at the entrance
- the CM on the phone also speaks english
- the Infinity gives you the right to use the tickets everyday so why not?

Hello StarGirl,
you need to:
- be there in person;
- bring your AP and a passport or drivers license.
Your friends should not have had an AP during the last 2,5 years.

Hi all,
My family is looking to get magic plus passes early next year (We had dreams passes previously but they have lapsed and we didn't renew due to illness and we won't be going for the rest of this year)
My question is - if I ring and order my passes then call and book room only (You don't have to have the card number on you at the time of booking).when we arrive we won't have the passes, until we collect them in the park. How does that work at check-in? Will we have to go the park first? And leave baggage and suitcases in the luggage room or will they wait till we've collected our passes ?
I think it'll be a lot of hassle dragging cases and kids to the park to get the passes and then to the hotel
Thanks

In theory all perks that come with the AP's can only be enjoyed when you have the actual, physical AP to show.
But when you check in at the hotel before your room is ready, you can always leave your luggage there, regardless of how you enter the parks. The luggageroom comes with the booking, not the tickets, doesn't it?

But it's booked at room only with an ap discount? And technically I don't have them yet, although I was thinking this morning I'll have paid for the APs and have the confirmation letter. I suppose that might be enough.
I remember them checking the APs at check-in to confirm the discounted room rate last time.

I guess I misread your first question, I thought you were wondering if the luggage storage would be available.
Now I understand you mean you might not be able to check in without the definitive AP and therefor might not be able to use the luggage storage.
I get that you say "I have paid for the AP" but since you have 6 months time to get the actual AP which will then be valid for a year, I guess it's up to the kindness of the CM at the hotel if you can leave your luggage there to go to the park and get your AP.

Hi all,
My family is looking to get magic plus passes early next year (We had dreams passes previously but they have lapsed and we didn't renew due to illness and we won't be going for the rest of this year)
My question is - if I ring and order my passes then call and book room only (You don't have to have the card number on you at the time of booking).when we arrive we won't have the passes, until we collect them in the park. How does that work at check-in? Will we have to go the park first? And leave baggage and suitcases in the luggage room or will they wait till we've collected our passes ?
I think it'll be a lot of hassle dragging cases and kids to the park to get the passes and then to the hotel
Thanks
Do you want to do over the phone for pay monthly? Because if you order by postal form they send the APs to you although I do believe that you can only pay the full price outright.

Last time I paid in full and validated it when I got there but our first trip that time was off-site so the annual pass wasn't an issue at check-in.
I've had great experience with Disney in the past so I'd be surprised if it was an issue but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this before.
Thanks so much for your replies x

We've booked Magic plus passes over the phone and received temporary passes so I assume you could show this upon arriving at your hotel

Well if paying in full is an option for you then you can download the order form from the DLP site, send it off and they'll send the passes back to you in the post. Might be less hassle for you and you wouldn't have to worry about check in.

That's a great idea. I didn't realise I could do that.
I'm in Ireland so if I send the forms off say 6wks before we go, would that be enough time?
I'm assuming they're are validated from when they are issued rather than activation at the park like the temp ones
Thanks

Six weeks should be long enough (no guarantee ofcourse) and yes, the validity-period starts the day they are issued at the BPA.

Hi, my fiancé and I are huge Disney/ Disneyland fans (so much so we got engaged there at Christmas! Yay!). Anyway, we are renewing our DLP annual passes and I'm trying to think with my actual brain and not my Disney brain (which immediately says spend all our money on Disneyland!!). So we are choosing between Magic Plus and Infinity and we want to make the right choice.
We both currently have Fantasy passes and are looking to renew this month. We are planning on at least two short trips this year and a longer more special trip in 2019 as part of our honeymoon.
Extra magic hours are essential for us and we are tempted by the extra discount with the Infinity pass. So we were considering getting one Magic Plus and one Infinity but we wouldn't both be able to use the reserved areas for the parade and illuminations.
Has anyone with an Infinity pass used the resevered areas? Illuminations is our favourite part of every day we are there but we normally find a good spot anyway without having to wait too early. Would it be worth us both getting Infinity passes just for this perk? My heart is saying 'yeees!!' but my logical head is unsure!
We would appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

In my opinion the Infinity viewing area for Illuminations is great, but you can get great views anyway if you know the tips and tricks. Therefore, my advice is to work out if the additional discounts would make the price of the Infinity pass worth it.
Other than that, I'd say the most valuable perks you get from Infinity is the special treatment at special events, such as the recent Hollywood Tower Hotel party (which was just for Infinity pass holders), or the conference at Fandaze. If you'll get value from that sort of hard ticket event, Infinity is a no-brainer.

Currently have magic plus passes that I got extended by 6 months by sponsoring. Questions is, on a free sponsored 6 month pass, can I sponsor again to get another extension?
Don't want to offer up to help someone on the sponsorship thread & only then find out in the AP office that I'm not allowed to do this. Any one know for sure if they allow this or not?

No, after a free AP earned by sponsoring you need to renew by paying. Then you can sponsor again, then pay again, etc.

Hi all, we are getting 3annual passes - 1 infinity and 2 magic plus.
We were going to buy them all when we got there or all in advance (to get a good room only rate) BUT
If I buy the infinity pass a few months in advance and book the room. Then when we get there use that pass to sponsor the other 2 passes. We would then get 10% off and 6 months added to the infinity pass (so they'll all expire around the same time). Is that right?
Does the free photo pass with infinity start from the start date on the card or when we purchase it?
If anyone could confirm this, that would feel great or if anyone has a better idea please let me know!
Thanks x

The free 6 months take 3 sponsored AP's, so you'd have to get another person to sponsor (and be there when that persons buys his/her AP).
The 10% off is correct. The PhotoPass runs during the same period as the Infinity AP does.

The form is here:

Hi all,
Just registered here an looking for advice on the Infinty Annual Pass please.
We are off to Disneyland Paris on 11th August. We have it all booked etc. We also have dates over Christmas booked and April next year. We went last year for 3 days so know what to expect etc.
We were hoping to pay for the annual passes outright. Sadly my Mum passed away a couple of months ago and we thought everything would be finalised by now but it hasn't and I don't expect it to over the next few weeks. So, we are going to have to pay for the passes via direct debit. I know about the 55 euro's upfront and I know they need the IBAN number etc which we have. I will have our passports on us. Do we need to take anything else? Do I need my bank statement? Has anyone run into any problems doing direct debit annual pass on the day?
I just don't want to get all that way and be told we can't do it for whatever reason, just trying to cover ourselves.
Thanks in advance for any help or info.
Dave.

You can only get one discount so if all 6 of you live at the same address the 20% large family discount is best. If you live at different addresses you would need 2 people to sponsor you (maximum of 3 Sponsorships per pass) to save 10% but the people sponsoring you must be with you.
You can buy activayed passes at Gate 12 outside the studios during park hours or at the main park the AP office is usually open til 5 on weekdays & 8 on weekends

Hi.
Does anybody know if you can cancel your annual pass at any time? We have made payments this far as we were intending on visiting again within a year but due to a change of circumstances, we're not able to. Do we have to continue to pay each month? Or can we cancel our pass and cancel our direct debit?
Thanks

I'm afraid I do not know but since it is a contract I think you cannot just cancel it.
That would mean you can get all the benefits of an Infinity-pass for a month (say August or Christmas-period) and then just cancel it, having only paid a small amount. I think that is impossible.

Hi guys,
Apologies if this is another duplicate question.
I have an annual pass, and received a renewal email yesterday. In it, was a link enabling me to renew online, and get an additional 4 months.
I went through the process, but was wanting to use the monthly payment option which was available, however when I got close to the end, there was something about needing a 'french domicile account' - is this the case? I thought the monthly payment option was ok if you had your IBAN details etc. I won't be able to visit before my pass expires to be able to do it in person :(
Also, I get some annual pass emails in english, and some in french. Is this usual? For example, my renewal one was in french. Luckily I could use Google Chrome's translate!
Many many thanks in advance for your help again.

I have an annual pass, and received a renewal email yesterday. In it, was a link enabling me to renew online, and get an additional 4 months.
I went through the process, but was wanting to use the monthly payment option which was available, however when I got close to the end, there was something about needing a 'french domicile account' - is this the case? I thought the monthly payment option was ok if you had your IBAN details etc. I won't be able to visit before my pass expires to be able to do it in person :(
Also, I get some annual pass emails in english, and some in french. Is this usual? For example, my renewal one was in french. Luckily I could use Google Chrome's translate!
Many many thanks in advance for your help again.

As long as you have IBAN details, you are fine.
However, the process is somewhat confusing. After you finish the online part, you have 10 days to send the paper part to France.
In our situation we first got the actual passes sent to our address with a note saying that they would only be validated once we received an email that the montly-payment-setup had been completed. So it's not like they finish and check all the paperwork and THEN send out the passes.
French and English emails alternate, it seems. Sometimes you get the same information in both languages :)

I have had an annual pass before, Fantasy, and appreciate how much they are worth it in terms of savings in shops alone. I got that one by taking a temp pass to the pass annuel place in the Parc.
Hubby and I are planning a trip (well, I am lol) for next Spring and I only just found out about the pay monthly deal!!! Sounds like a plan! I've read thru the downloadable form, is it really that easy to sort? I'm guessing it'll only be about 40 quid more than if I bought a stand alone entry ticket for my short stay e.g five days 2 parks entry. So, yeh, it'll be totally worth it and easier to manage paying it off monthly for me as I'm on minimum wage as it is.
Can I get some reassurance/encouragement that it's the right way to go? TIA.

If you do it online you have to fill in the forms and then send some paperwork to France, including the application form, copy of identification and some information about your bank account. That needs to be sent within 10 days of the online application.
So it is actually quite simple, yes :)

So my IBAN isn't on my bank statements (I'm with Lloyds. From googling, it seems some people have the IBAN on their statements, and others not).
I've screenshotted my online bank, showing the IBAN, etc, but this doesn't show my name (Just Mr. Surname) and my account number and sort code. So I'm sending this and a picture of my bank card (with long number removed), to show the account is mine. Will this suffice? Don't know what else to do otherwise :(

Hello. Looking for some advice from any resident experts please. We bought magic plus annual passes in May and we are now looking to go back just before Christmas 2018. We have done this for the past 2 years but never with annual passes. I was a little sceptical when we got the AP as to how much we would save. My wife has called to get a price for the 3 of us from 18-12 to 22-12 so 3 nights with halfboard at the sequoia lodge. She was quoted £861 looking online direct today at DLP site I could book the same stay with park tickets for £1004.
Does this sound about right? I know they have an offer on with free halfboard but with annual passes a saving of £140 doesn't sound very good to me.
Any help greatly appreciated
David

I'd check something like booking.com where it is room only prices - I suspect you'd find it much cheaper!

Thanks for that, £343 so a £520 saving but no halfboard. That's more like what I was expecting just can't understand why Disney quoted so high with pass discounts. Thank

I have a few questions, because the DLP site is a little vague.
If I buy a magic + AP on the day, will I be able to use it immediately if its not a block out date (because I read online that that I wouldn't be able to do that).
(I am aware that I can buy them online, but I prefer to do it in person)

Yes you van use a magic + ap on the day you buy it. With a discovery ap you can use it on the day you buy it. But not on the two days after.

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the sponsorship thing.
I used to have an AP - magic plus - it lasted until mid-2018 and I did not renew it. I am planning on getting an Infinity AP in a couple of weeks. Will I still be eligible to be sponsored and consequently receive a 10% discount on the AP fee?
Thanks!

Hi guys.
So I know that the answers to my questions may well be somewhere in the previous 117 pages,but honestly I think it is just easier to re-ask as it were, so here goes.
Mrs EHG and I are looking into options surrounding annual passes, specifically the Magic Plus pass.
What is the most efficient way to purchase this pass? How much discount does it apply to Disney hotel bookings (in real terms i.e. are weekends still more pricey, or do the hotel prices stay fairly stable?
Can you still buy any of the meal plans (with our without staying at a Disney hotel,and is there any discount on them?
Is there a discount on the Premium rooms too (Golden forest for example)?
Thanks Guys...

Hello EHG
We picked up magic plus passes in the summer & we are back today for 5 days. We are staying at SL but booked through Expedia as it worked out at least £300 cheaper than using the Disney phone lines with the not so special discount. We are just picking restaurants & using the 10% discount as we go.

Is there an option to buy a 2parks/1day ticket for friends and family in advance? The one that's eur39 nowadays for Infinity.
If none, is there a special lane for Inifity AP holders to make this purchase on the day?

Hi there
We are off to DLP tomorrow (Xmas day yay!!) and want to purchase 5 x infinity AP by DD. If I did this online today would I receive a temporary via email that will give us access to the park ? Then exchange once in there or do I have to buy an additional day ticket?Dont really want to spend more than the €55 pp as it's quite a budget we are working from!
Or can I do it at Donald's desk/over the telephone and get temporary pass that way?
Thanks agai and merry disneymas!

A similar question to the above, if I order online (for monthly payment) can I choose when the pass will start? If not what do I need to do on the day? (or should I just buy a one day ticket to get in and they can work out the difference at the AP office?)

When we ordered online, we got the definitive AP sent to our home which started the day it was printed in France.
If you want your AP to start on the 1st day of your visit you might as well buy it directly at the Studios Park entrance, and set up the monthly payments there.

Hi, I'm a total newbie and planning our first ever trip to Disney!!
The annual magic plus passses look to be the best option for us. What I'm unsure of is how the proof of address works for the family discount? The hubby and I are taking our 4 boys, we've all got the same surname but do the kids need proof of address? The eldest, he's 16, will he need proof of address even if the younger ones don't? Or will our surname be enough, plus the fact that they're all minors? There is absolutely no way I can prove the address of my 3 or 6 year old! The 13 & 16 year old get occasion bank statements, but they're not regular.
I was hoping to just buy them all at the gate, rather than before hand, but worried about how we prove our address to qualify for the family discount: I'd hate to be missing something and not be able to get it. To be honest, I'll struggle to prove my own address as versionally everything is paperless now! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A couple of questions which I've struggled to find answer to so hope you educated lot may be able to help.
First, we have just arrived back from DLP and, whilst there, were asked a couple of times to wait for Annual Pass holders to see characters before us. Is a 'Fastpass' for characters a benefit if APs?
And my second query is that I have read that if you buy a Magic Plus AP then you can use it during black out days, so long as you book a Disney hotel. I find this quite an odd one but would make the Magic Plus very tempting.
Thanks in advance

Are you sure it was AP holders that were given priority and not disability passes? Seems odd that AP holders would be given priority.
I think a (paid) hotel stay overrides AP block out dates as you would be given park tickets for your stay. Not sure of the situation if you have just added the AP holder to the booking and just paid the tourist tax though.

The first time the Cast Member said Infinity Pass and I didn't think much of it, assumed something had been lost in translation and it was a disability pass, but then it happened a second time and they said Annual Pass. Seemed strange but thought it was a great benefit if it is the case.
On the second query, the suggestion was that if you booked a hotel only then the AP would work. Its an ED92 blog that I was reading, originally written in French so I had to use Google translate as my French doesn't go beyond a few sentences.
I'm considering AP this year and have been looking at all the benefits, hence the questions.

A paid hotelstay (also just paying the tourist tax) does indeed override any blockout days. In fact, it's "a stay at a Disneyland Paris-hotel" that does, so it might even be when you're not paying at all but do have a Magic Pass for a specific date.
I have never heard of AP-guests getting priority over non-AP-guests at character meets. As suggested, it might be a case of bad english from the Cast Member?

As far as I know you get 10% discount at Planet Hollywood, Annette's, Rainforest Café and similar restaurants in Disney Village.

I am thinking of getting a annual pass and wondered what restaurants you get discount at and whether it's worth it
We eat a lot at rainforest and planet Hollywood and wondered if they are included

A paid hotelstay (also just paying the tourist tax does indeed override any blockout days. In fact, it's "a stay at a Disneyland Paris-hotel" that does, so it might even be when you're not paying at all but do have a Magic Pass for a specific date.
I have never heard of AP-guests getting priority over non-AP-guests at character meets. As suggested, it might be a case of bad english from the Cast Member?Quote from: JMB on January 04, 2019, 12:05:06 AMQuote from: A&S&O on January 03, 2019, 11:18:54 PMQuote from: JMB on January 03, 2019, 10:58:19 PM
Hi,
A couple of questions which I've struggled to find answer to so hope you educated lot may be able to help.
First, we have just arrived back from DLP and, whilst there, were asked a couple of times to wait for Annual Pass holders to see characters before us. Is a 'Fastpass' for characters a benefit if APs?
And my second query is that I have read that if you buy a Magic Plus AP then you can use it during black out days, so long as you book a Disney hotel. I find this quite an odd one but would make the Magic Plus very tempting.
Thanks in advance
Are you sure it was AP holders that were given priority and not disability passes? Seems odd that AP holders would be given priority.
I think a (paid) hotel stay overrides AP block out dates as you would be given park tickets for your stay. Not sure of the situation if you have just added the AP holder to the booking and just paid the tourist tax though.
The first time the Cast Member said Infinity Pass and I didn't think much of it, assumed something had been lost in translation and it was a disability pass, but then it happened a second time and they said Annual Pass. Seemed strange but thought it was a great benefit if it is the case.
On the second query, the suggestion was that if you booked a hotel only then the AP would work. Its an ED92 blog that I was reading, originally written in French so I had to use Google translate as my French doesn't go beyond a few sentences.
I'm considering AP this year and have been looking at all the benefits, hence the questions.
Thanks again
Sorry if I'm being a little slow but could I just clarify? If I buy a Magic Plus AP and want to go during a block out period, I can book accommodation only at a Disney hotel and use my AP to access the park?

Yes. You get a Magic Pass with the dates of your stay and that gives you access, in combination with your Magic Plus.

Last question (possibly). Magic Plus AP has 15 block of days, usually 7 before Halloween and 8 over Christmas and New Year. However, this year the calender only shows 12 - 7 before Halloween and 5 over Christmas, but New Year has been 'unblocked'. Can anyone confirm that this isn't a mistake? For a family of 4 that has an expensive habit of always going over New Year, this would be an amazing advantage. I'm just not sure it's accurate. Have queried with Disney but yet to receive a reply.

PLEASE can anyone help me!
I am looking to possibly buy annual passes, I am in UK and first visit will be December. When do I order the annual passes, or can I buy them at the park? I will have to pay monthly so does the year of use begin on the day I order the passes? Or the day of first visit? and do i have to have paid the passes off in full before I can use them? I can't find this info ANYWHERE online!! PLEASE help!

Hello KazDee,
you can either buy them at the parks or online.
If you buy them at the parks, you can do it two ways: buy them outside the parks at the Walt Disney Studios Park-ticket-booth OR buy a one day-ticket online, use that to enter the park and get the annual pass at the Bureau Passeport Annual where the one-day-ticket-price will be subtracted from the amount due. In both cases the validity-period starts on the day you buy them (so when you are in the park).
If you buy them online, you get a voucher with which you can enter the park once and get your definitive annual pass made at the Bureau Passeport Annuel.
If you buy them online, you cannot be sponsored and get the 10% discount. If you buy them in the parks and have not had annual passes the last 2 years, you can be sponsored by another annual-pass-holder and get a 10% discount on your annual passes.
The passes, both fully paid at once or in monthly installments, are valid rightaway. Ofcourse, if you fail to pay the monthly installments, the pass will be suspended after some time.

Hi guys quick question on the Discovery annual pass.
I'm planning on going to DLP next June and am aware of the blockout dates and the fact that if i purchase an annual pass say on a Wednesday, I cant use it for the next two days (Thursday and Friday) and wont be able to access the parks until the Monday as its not valid for weekends in June.
Can I visit on the Wednesday and just buy general admission tickets to enter the parks and then go back on the Thursday and buy the discovery annual passes and have the price of the previous days tickets deducted from the cost but have access on the Thursday too. In this instance i could get back into the park on the following Monday, but means we might get an extra day in the parks?
Can anyone advise if this would or wouldn't work?

I can't see why it would work tbh.
You only get refunded the day tickets if and when you have to enter the park that day to buy your passport in the bureau.

You would have to buy entrance tickets for Wednesday and Thursday if you do it that way, and would only get one day refunded.
Have you considered buying the passes before you go?

I know one of the kioscs at WDS entrance (furthest to the right) deals with annual passes (I was standing there last year for 30 minutes when I turned up on a blockout day :)) and I know that an option at that kiosk was to hand in your existing pass and upgrade to another one for the difference in the cost of the pass.
I thought that you might be able to buy a ticket for the annual pass (similar to the ticket you get in the post if you buy before you go there) at this kiosk to redeem in the passport office on the same day and get the discount for the previous days tickets when paying outside at the kiosk.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm hoping someone will be able to clear a few things up for me. I've read through a lot of the pages of this thread to save me re-asking questions but I found a bit of conflicting info so I thought it best just to ask again.
I'm looking to get a couple of Discovery passes to use, hopefully, for a handful of little trips over the course of the next year. I would, if possible, like to avoid the 2nd and 3rd block out dates by ordering my passes using the postal form. Is this possible? Are the Discovery passes started the day they are made meaning the 2nd and 3rd block out dates have been and gone before I've even received them? Or do the Discovery passes start the first day they're used in the park so the block out dates are unavoidable?
And roughly how long do the passes take to arrive by post? Say, from the time I post them out to me receiving them.
Sorry for the fiddly questions! I'd love some help in figuring these bits and bobs out so if anybody can I'd be very grateful. I hope I can be of help in some of the other threads.
Thanks in advance! :)

Firstly decide which annual pass is suitable for you/your family by checking blackout days etc and see if they match with dates you might be planning to go.
https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-ie/annual-passes/
The cheapest pass (discovery) is the only one that has the 2nd and 3rd day after its validated as blockout days. To avoid this you could buy the magic flex passes they are €70 more expensive but well worth it if you can enter the parks on the 2nd and 3rd day. Also you have 300 days entry to the park each year rather than 150.
You can buy them online but you have to validate them in Disneyland Paris within 6 months (you'll get standard cardboard/paper tickets in the post). This invloves going to the passpost office in the park and getting photos taken etc and you'll receive the annual passport with your photo on it there and then. Valid for 12 months from the date they are validated in the park, if Discovery pass then the next two days are blockout days.
Cant remember how long it takes to receive them in the post but you should have them within a few weeks. The other option here is to just buy tickets at the gate on the first day, go to the passport office and get the price of these tickets taken off the price of the annual pass.

I thought I'd read somewhere that you no longer received a paper ticket in the post but instead your actual pass?? The form you fill out now asks you to send a passport picture so that they can make your pass there and then.
Has anybody ordered and received Discovery passes in the post? Did they start on day of manufacture?
I'd have preferred not to have to go into the passport office, I'd have liked to have this sorted before we go.
Maybe all the other levels of pass are sent out to you but not the Discovery?
It's all a little confusing. Discovery is the perfect pass for us, it includes any and all date we'd like to go and 150 days is more than enough. The blockout days would just be a bit annoying if we couldn't avoid. Yeah, there's tons of great stuff to do in Paris for two days but sometimes you just want a Disney break. The extra 70euro for magic flex pays for a flight, at least that's how I have to look at it.

Does anyone know the current rate for a room at DLH?
Failing this, would someone with a pass be able to phone and ask for room rates at DLH, 16.09.19, please?

Hoping someone can help...
Up until last yesr I was a Dream pass holder but didn't renew due to various reasons. Now we're visiting again next week and I'm wanting to get AP's again, but they've changed and my memory is fuzzy on what the process is.
I know we buy normal tickets on the gate and the cost of these is refunded against the AP's once we're in and get to Bureau to sign up. We'll be paying in monthly instalments for our AP's so my query is:
Will the park tickets we buy be used as our initial payment?
Or will the cost of the tickets be taken off overall price, plus we'll still be expected to pay out the 55€ per AP initial payment?
Thanks in advance.

You can mention at the gate which pass you want, and already pay the exact amount.
If you do buy a regular ticket, you will pay the difference at the passport bureau.
I've always find it easier to pay my ap at the gate.
Even when having the 10% off that is possible if the sponsor is already with you.

Is that possible if wanting to pay the rest of the AP with monthly instalments via direct debit bank payments?

If you want that option, I don't think so, as I believe there's paperwork to fill out.
Thank you anyway :)
Someone has suggested I try at Donald's Desk so I may give that a go, or simply go in myself and see if I can complete the paperwork for all of us.

Just in case this benefits anyone else:
After my question above regarding Annual Pass monthly payments and the potential for signing up for them without having to purchase day tickets for the park, I have called the Annual Passport helpline today and managed to speak with someone fairly quickly and they have confirmed that windows 10, 11 and 12 of Walt Disney Studios are dedicted to Annual Pass purchases - even the monthly payment scheme - and a day ticket for the parks is therefore not necessary.
If this is successful (I know sometimes information can be incorect) then I'll come back and confirm.
Wish me luck ;D

yikes - my passes have lapsed so will be getting 3 new Magic+ passes in May. Don't really want to pay another €120 ??? especially as the Eurostar we're going on went up £80 in the two days between my checking the fares & then booking :'(
looks like I will need to go down the whole book the AP in advance & getting the vouchers thing I've read about

Hello NCC1701Q,
You seem to be the topic expert...
I've always bought APs at the park previously, but I'm considering buying in advance on line, to beat the April price increase. Just to clarify, I fill out form on the link below & send it off & I'll get back vouchers which I exchange for passes at the park so I will still get my full year of validity from the day I exchange my vouchers for passes in the park, have I got this right?
https://media.disneylandparis.com/d4th/en-gb/images/bdc_regular_uk_0_tcm752-181335.pdf
& I have up to 6 months to exchange these vouchers, is that right?

Hello KazDee,
you can either buy them at the parks or online.
If you buy them at the parks, you can do it two ways: buy them outside the parks at the Walt Disney Studios Park-ticket-booth OR buy a one day-ticket online, use that to enter the park and get the annual pass at the Bureau Passeport Annual where the one-day-ticket-price will be subtracted from the amount due. In both cases the validity-period starts on the day you buy them (so when you are in the park).
If you buy them online, you get a voucher with which you can enter the park once and get your definitive annual pass made at the Bureau Passeport Annuel.
If you buy them online, you cannot be sponsored and get the 10% discount. If you buy them in the parks and have not had annual passes the last 2 years, you can be sponsored by another annual-pass-holder and get a 10% discount on your annual passes.
The passes, both fully paid at once or in monthly installments, are valid rightaway. Ofcourse, if you fail to pay the monthly installments, the pass will be suspended after some time.

For restaurants etc do I just show it when asking for bill or when I get there (is that how I get the non alcoholic drink) and does it count on quick service for drinks etc?
Also what do I do for the photo pass, is there something I'll get a voucher for etc? I was going to wait till I got there to buy but saw the price increase.

Hi rocker,
that is correct. There have even been reports that on the day of getting your definitive AP, you can use the voucher to park on the parking lot for free (if that is included with the kind of AP you're buying).

Hi,
the discount is applied when paying. So when you're with your merchandise at the cash register or when you're ordering at a counter service restaurant. When you're at a table service restaurant, show your AP when sitting down to get the free cocktail and when asking for the bill to get the discount.
Some products are not eligible for discount, books being one of them.
If you have an Infinity-AP, just go to any store that sells the PhotoPass+ and get your free PhotoPass. If you have an AP that gives discount on the PhotoPass+, show it before buying it.
I hope this helps!

Just to confirm -
I was able to purchase AP's with the monthly payment plan option via window 11 (and 12) of Walt Disney Studios. 10 wasn't open but the queue was very small first thing in the morning. I didn't need a day ticket. Just to pay the initial 55€ per pass. ;)

I tried ringing a few months ago. Just to get a rough price on a room only booking for later this year. I just rang the contact number for bookings on the site. It was a local number but I was put through to a lady in the US. If you tell her what pass you have, they'll probably require a pass number too and tell her the dates they should be able to give you a price over the phone.
I've post the link below where I got the number on the Irish website, I assume there's a local number on each countries website. Hope this helps.

Magic Plus was stripped of quite a lot of privileges:
No free bag check at the entrance, no more free stroller/wheelchair rentals, pet care, and the Photopass option went up in price.

Is it just a copy of my passport? Do I need to send a copy of my son's as well?
And a bank statement or just something showing the RIB number?

I bought new passes over the phone on Monday. They've sent me a confirmation email & I've been told to been told I'll get the original in the post. I've been instructed to take the original along with ID for all group members either to Donald's desk or the pass office next to Buzz (the letter/voucher will get you into the park). See no reason why applying via the web site would be any different. You could always call them to confirm. The annual pass office works office hours. Here is a local rate UK number ----> 0330 1231644, just call that & ask to be transferred to the AP office.

I ordered two passes from the French website to be delivered to the UK. 9 days later I received the definitive passes. I was pleasantly surprised as I'd been advised on here that i'd only receive a paper temporary pass in the post. Now that I have my real pass (discovery) the two block out days have already been and gone before I go to the park so that's a bonus. Just thought i'd mention it for anyone else looking. I filled out the online application I didn't have to send anything off by post. The start date of the pass is dated from the day I ordered.

I ordered ours last week online too.
Since we live in the UK, but I myself am from Belgium, I checked both UK and B website versions.
Ordering from UK website, we would have needed to print out, and fill in the form, and send it with pictures and all information.
So I ordered from the Belgium site, where we got a voucher, that we need to exchange at the park within 6 months.

Did you have to supply a photo?
Yes I supplied a photo for each pass. I took the photos at home using my phone. Just a passport style photo with a white background. I uploaded them to the computer and attached them when I was prompted to (I think it was one of the very last steps, maybe even after payment.) You do have 10 days from the day of ordering to add photos and info but I did mine straight away as I had everything ready. I paid in full but I think there was the option to pay in 11 installments. You don't pay for postage and the passes arrived in a "signed for" envelope with a letter saying if i'd received email conformation that my payment was accepted (which I had on the day of ordering) my pass is good to go and ready to be used.
For me I think this was the best way of doing it. I understand why they have the 2nd and 3rd block out days so people don't opt for a pass for a one time trip but I will certainly use my pass several times this year at least. Discovery just happened to be the best one for me but I still didn't want to have to spend time in the Passport office in the park or have to have the two blockout days.
So just to clarify I ordered from the french site, filled out the french order form and attached pictures and paid in full. 9 days later I received my definitive pass with my picture on it. I don't speak french but google translate is your friend!
I'm not sure why some people get a paper temporary pass and some get their definitive passes. Maybe it all depends on the site you use. I had a plan for each outcome but I'm glad I can just relax and go and enjoy a Disney trip without having to spend two days doing something else.

Hi all
Just wanting some advise about AP's
Going in September and wanting to get my self a magic plus and my party of 2 adults a Discovery
I'd like to get the passes before we go (not the paper one to exchange) to avoid the 2 day blockout period of the Discovery passes
Just wanted to know how we do that? There's nothing much on the DLP website, also when would the passes start from?
TIA

I got my discovery passes through the post by ordering from the french version of the Disney website. disneylandparis.fr or something like that. You have to navigate the french site to find the annual pass page and select the discovery pass option. After that, one of the first thing you're asked is whether you'd like the passes sent to your home or if you want temporary passes to exchange in the park. Of course pick the first of the two and then follow all the other steps in the online order form. If you don't speak french, take your time, take full advantage of google translate. That's what I did.
The passes I ordered started on the day I ordered and paid for them. They start on the 20/4/19 and end on 24/4/20 for example. I received them 9 days after I ordered them I live in the UK so it might be less or more depending on where you are. Hope this helps!

I don't think so, but there are people much more qualified than me to confirm.
I think park tickets supplied as part of a hotel package have zero value, so can be used in part payment for an AP.
If a ticket is bought separately, the the face value can be used as part payment.

The above is correct: only tickets with a value on them can be used to subtract that value from the price of an annual pass.
Hotel-issued tickets that come with your stay unfortunately do not have a value printed on them, so cannot be used to get a discount.

Hi - Long-time Disney veteran/trip planner/FP runner (back in the good old days) and MagicForums newbie here!
Our family is planning a 4 day DLRP trip in June and looking to get the Discovery APs with 20% discount for living at the same UK address.
The only option on the Disney UK AP page is to call
or purchase in person (and suffer the blackouts on days 2&3). On the French AP page (with a lot of help from Google translate) the tickets can be bought online but there's no discount or option to apply it
I called Disney who said it's not possible to get this discount in advance and the only way to do so is in-person. I asked whether I could pay the full amount now and be refunded the difference after showing proof of address in park, but apparently not as tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.
Has anyone experienced the same issue, and found a way round it?
Grateful for any help/advice anyone has on this.

or purchase in person (and suffer the blackouts on days 2&3). On the French AP page (with a lot of help from Google translate) the tickets can be bought online but there's no discount or option to apply it
I called Disney who said it's not possible to get this discount in advance and the only way to do so is in-person. I asked whether I could pay the full amount now and be refunded the difference after showing proof of address in park, but apparently not as tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.
Has anyone experienced the same issue, and found a way round it?
Grateful for any help/advice anyone has on this.

I seem to have lost my annual pass..boo.
I had a Magic Flex pass and was thinking of upgrading anyway to Magic Plus for the EMH. Could I call up and order a upgrade and pay for that. Or would I need to do that in the park and pay for a lost pass fee as well as the upgrade?

I guess you could try calling DLP and getting the upgrade like that, but I'm not sure if that is possible. I guess if you do it on site you'd have to pay the lost pass fee before you can get the upgrade.
However, being sure about what any Cast Member might decide at the ticket office (or BPA or on the phone for that matter) is something I will never claim to be :)

Technically you are doing two transactions, the upgrade and the reissue.
If you can upgrade via phone, you can do that, then request a replacement pass. :-) Just call and check :)

can you directly access the parks with the cheapest annual pass or is it blocked for 3 days after purchase?

The Discovery Annual Pass has two blocked days following the day of purchase.

Hi quite a boo is to ap. we got our annual passes three weeks ago while in Disney. Does anyone know about the hotel discounts? While talking to a cast member while there they said we could get nearly 50% off but I find that really hard to believe? We've got magic plus ap and are looking to book the next trip. How do you go about doing it as we usually book through a travel agent and most of them include park tickets

The discount is subject to period and availability, and totally unpredictable. All you can do is plan a date, call DLP and find out what the AP room-onpy prices are for that date. Always compare these prices with room-only via booking.com because the AP-prices aren't always the cheapest.

Hi there, sorry I'm new here and not quite sure what I'm doing hope this is OK to post, I am looking for a DLP annual pass holder that will be there on the 29th May and would be willing to purchase 3 adult and 1 child day passes for us as I understand it works out cheaper? Any advice welcome. We are only over for the weekend visiting a friend. Tia xx

Does anyone know if "Euro Disney Club" members can buy APs in advance of visiting the park, using their discount, but only activating their passes on first visit?
We're not visiting til August, but wanted to buy now to avoid price rise.
thanks
