No fastpass with an annual pass?  Who told you that?  You can get a fastpass just the same with your annual pass as if you would have a regular park ticket ;)

Thanks Nathalie! I was under the impression that fastpasses were hotel guests only, glad to see I'm wrong. :-)

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!

I 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.
I am not sure about the second one, I think it wouldn't work as they take details from the pass which he wouldn't have yet

Ah, thanks Fiyero... the info I was working on was on this page that says 'Remember that Annual Passport Dream holders can leave one bag here for free each day.'

Can anyone clarify?

I dug a little deeper and found this document on the Disneyland Paris website, in the small print it confirms 3 per person: https://wdpromedia.disney.go.com/media/wdpro-dlp-assets/prod/en-gb/system/images/carwash_page_pa.pdf

My eldest will turn 12 halfway through the year of her annual pass. Do I get her a child's or adult pass?

Both my children have only ever had an adult annual pass, they didn't get the option.

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.

Your friends can still leave their  luggage, but they'll  have to pay as you present your pass or pay when depositing the bags

I have now fully paid a trip in Feb. We have 2 adults 3 children and 5 days of passes included. Like an idiot I have realised for that I have probably paid the same as the best annual passes and I am kicking myself. Will I be able to upgrade them to annual passes do you think or am I out in the cold. I am so gutted as we plan to go back in the Autumn.

Hello everybody,

We are visiting Disneyland Paris 11 april, 13 en 14 april 2017 with our Annual Passeports.

Hope to hear from you when you're interested.
You can contact us on our e-mail: vanpeteghem-naert@hotmail.com (NOTE: we live in Belgium, so no worries about the name)

Greetings,
Yves, Isabelle and Sarah °o°

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.
