I would be buying 5 AP's so would get a 20% discount.  Can you buy them at the park, get the discount and then still pay in installments?

A couple of questions about CLASSIC APs
     - if I purchase online a few months before we go, can we use them from the day we arrive?
     - If paying in installments, do we still get 20% off for 5 or more?

If you pay in full at the park, you will get 20% discount because you are buying 6 passes. If you pay in instalments then you won't.
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?

Can anyone confirm if you can buy in full online AND receive the 20% discount?


I just bought 5 and got 20% discount

Was that online with the pay in installments option?

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.

I've just gone through the French website to order our Dream AP's and every time I get to the end it fails and e-mails me this:

QuoteDear Client,

We inform you that your reservation request passed on 08.09.2016 could not be registered.

We therefore unable to finalize your reservation request because of a technical problem and propose to renew it now by clicking on the following link:

We remain at your disposal if you need further information

The Disneyland Paris booking service.

Has anyone else every come across this? I've no idea why it's failing and as I'm using google to translate the page I'm not sure if I'm missing something?
Thanks!

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.

no, you cannot be sponsored if buying from a third party.

sponsorship is to get 10% discount of the price of the pass when buying in the park only.

Brilliant! I fully understand now! Would I still get the discounts for the shops and dining?

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.

We could do with an editable FAQ on AP's.

Any idea how to create one?
