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)

brilliant, thank you very much for letting me know, one less stress to worry about.......i understand that as a family of 5 we can get a discount on the annual passes, however the in laws are coming with us, i guess they dont get the same or can be included due to different surnames??????..................is this correct, so i would on ly get discount on 5 not 7..

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.

But isn't that why you need a form from your city hall, that prooves you all live on the same adress.

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!

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
Goldie, look at this! Look at all the blood in his mustache! Good sir, that\'s a lot of blood!

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.

We went in August last year and it took no more than half hour, could have even be less but when kids are dying to go on rides it seemed an eternity haha

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.

yes you get 15% shareholders discount at DLP if you are buying your annual passes, there.
