Well I had to send my documents to another e-mail address. I haven't heard anything in over a week. The funny thing is. My grandfather has send over the exact same document that I have but with his sharesaccount of course. And his renewal is accepted without a problem. 

I'm going to call them on Tuesday and I hope to have everything sorted out then.

I called them today and send them a fax. I hope to have everything figured out now.

Everything has turned out fine. My new card should arrive in a couple of weeks time.

Hiya all,

Just wondered if someone could help with some advice,

We are going to Disney mid November and am wondering whether that will be enough time to get it all sorted before we go?

How many shares do you currently need to get the shareholder card?

Many thanks

You should have plenty of time and you currently need 100 Eurodisney shares for membership. If you google Disneyland Paris shareholders club you will find all the information you need.

I agree with captain rocket, it should be enough time.

Hi, I have a share dealing account with Halifax and have some Disney shares which I'm looking to increase but I am clueless and about to ask a really stupid question! I haven't been on the account for ages and it's says I have some money which is 'available to invest'?! What does it mean and where did it come from? Thank you in advance, I am sorry for such a silly question.

[A&S&O]

I'll try and share my little bit of knowledge, but be aware, I'm no expert.


Your Halifax share account has to be funded before you can buy shares.
You may have some of these funds left from when you last bought shares - you should be able to see how much when you log in to your account. For example, you may have funded your account with £80, but the share you bought only cost £75 - you would still have £5 to invest.
Alternatively, you may have shares that have paid a dividend (share of the companies profit) which has gone into your share account - this would now be available to invest. This wouldonly be the case if you had shares other than Disneyland Paris, as they don't pay dividends.

Depending on how much you currently have available to invest and how many shares you want to buy, you may need to add more funds to your account. This is fairly straightforward with the Halifax share dealing account, there is an "Add Funds" button (or similarly named). This will take funds from your listed account, assuming that it is still active and has enough money in it.

Be aware that once a month, the Halifax have a special day when you can trade on the international market for a reduced rate, I think its about £4 instead of £12 - every little helps!

[MissDisneyisMagical]

Ah thank you! You are correct I put more money in than necessary! So the special deal days you are describing is that the commission? I don't have many shares is it worth buying more to get the 100 shares so I can be part of the membership again? Thank you for your help

[A&S&O]

I've just checked and the commission is reduced to £3.95 on the days that they do their special deals. You still have to pay the other taxes at full rate though. Shares are either around 4 Pounds, or 4 Euros each at the moment, I can never work out what currency they're shown in.

As to whether its worth buying the shares to become a member again, well that's up to you.
How often do you go to DLP? How often would you use Salon Mickey? How much do you spend in the shops or restaurants (15% discount)? How do you buy your tickets (again 15% discount - quite a saving if buying an annual pass)?

Although you're buying the shares, you can always sell them again, so its not money spent, its money tied up. Assuming that you can sell for the same or better price than you bought.

As well as funding the Halifax Share Account, you can also transfer out unused funds so the money doesn't just sit there.

[MissDisneyisMagical]

I haven't been for a few years tbh but I went 6 years in a row before that. I always get Disney packaged hotel. As for how much I spend on food souvenirs it's normally between 2-3 hundred English.  I may look at gettin a annual pass as I will have a lot more opportunity now I do shift work to go.

Halifax (in the UK) have their next sharedealing "sale" on Tuesday 16th September - all trades only £3.95 each.

Thank you very much!! Lucky I checked this today.

Just felt that I wanted to share (no pun intended!) the fact that I have just processed my Shareholder's Club renewal application, and it has come back approved in only 2 days! Card in the post.

Magic things really can happen!!
