A free mug and dvd PLUS the already very well priced annual passport?!  They're practically giving them away now!  :lol: I think they might have the right idea though, because it's likely that people with annual passes will then take others with them who might also get addicted to DLRP and so more tickets will be sold!  Well, that's what i'd like to think will happen anyway!  :wink:

Good for you getting an annual pass though, i hope i live close enough to get one of them one day! :ears:

Well, normally, I should have payed 159 euros (Dream pass), while I only payed 106 euros :!:  :!:  :!:   :D

Well that proves my point - they're practically giving them away!

There must be some benefit for DLRP from selling them at such a cheap price, perhaps pass holders themselves bringing more people to the resort like i said before?  I suppose they have done studies and worked out that selling annual passes at a good price really helps the resort - i hope so anyway, they'd better not just be losing money for no reason!  :x  :wink:

And I paid 209 euros last year  :cry:
but this year: I'll take it again. With al the advantages and special events: like now: 25 June: Avant-premiere of the lion king show for AP Fantasia & Dream holders.
Couldn't be better.

When we were at DLRP this March, there were posters anouncing the following:
Take your entry ticket to the passport office and for an additional 40 Euros we'll give you an annual passport..
I was really wondering if I got that correctly, because it seemd to be so cheap.. I'm not sure anymore if it had to be a 3-day hopper ticket or only a one day entry.
 :shock:

It's true.
Just outside the park there are some posters where they promote the annual pass.  a Hopper-pass + 40 euros = Annual Pass. But it's not a Passeport Annuel Dream. It's the cheapest one. So not that many privileges.

It must make some sens to them ... otherwise they wouldn't do it. (Wow... that was such a wise thing to say right now...  :wink: )

Looking at these prices, Disneyland Paris is actually one of the cheapest parks to go to in all of Europe!!! (I remember reading that the Europapark season pass is about 100,- Euro... and that's just for the summer and the two weeks around Christmas)...

Hi,

the cheapest passport is, as far as I have read on the poster, only for the people living in the area around dlrp - a numer of postcodes was mentioned, but did'nt say much to me... - so these passholders probably will not stay in a hotel, but come in and have a nice time - spending some money in the shops and restaurants.

I wished I could do that :d
But the reduction on the hotels isn't any profit at all.
If I call and ask how much the reduction for an annual pass is, that price still is higher then booking at our travel agency. So for the reduction for a hotelroom you don't have to take an annual pass. It's just easy if you buy a lot of stuff, you get the mailings, reduction in the restaurants, you're invited for special occasions (avant-premiere Lion King, movies,....)

If dlrp was nearer, it might be a cheap thing to stay in a formule1 - hotel or something similar and drive to the park daily... I don't know.

My idea has made me curious, this is what I've found out: There are 2 accor-hotels nearby, one in Meaux (Formula1, without toilet) and the other one is 12 km away from dlrp. During our summer-holidays a room for max. 3 persons is 50 Euro (F1 is much cheaper!), so if my son and I want to go back we have to pay 240 Euro for 2 passports and if we want to go to the park for 4 days, we pay 440 Euros - the longer one stays, the cheaper it gets! But I could not find any information about annual passports on the german site...

I onced stayed in an etap hotel, which wasn't too far away from the resort... it was sufficient.

Hi, we've found an Ibis with bar and restaurant, but probably we'll try it next year - the rest of my family is not as fanatic as I seem to be.

Our next stay in a hotel, will be the DLRP-selected Kyriad Hotel.

If you book it on the Kyriad site, it's way cheaper then when you book it directly at DLRP.  We have calculated for the halloween weekend: 200 euros for 2 persons in one room, including breakfast.  That's cheaper then Santa Fe!!!

How did you manage to get a Dream passport for 106 Euros? We're going to DLRP in May and I need 5 of them :!: I know I can get a family reduction of 25% on 5 but 106 euros is even cheaper :!:  :!:
