I've just sold my shares  Feel a bit sad not owning a little bit of the park...

And the money will be useful to pay for our Disney cruise next year

We did the same - proceeds will go towards paying for our stay at DLH for the first time - silver linings!

Has anyone dealing with Halifax had money credited yet? Looked at the sale of shares document and it should've been done yesterday?

Our son's shares were held by Hargreaves Lansdowne. He opted not to sell, but received his money yesterday.

What are people doing with their payout?

We're thinking of buying him Merlin shares - you get a 40% discount on full price Annual Passes and the return is about 1.5%.
With the rest of the money we thought of buying TWDC shares, again about 1.5% return, no shareholder perks, but he'd own "a piece of the magic".

Just received the following from our son's share company -

Not sure why, whether this is a standard thing or if something/someone else has instigated it.

Euro Disney SCA: Issue of Euro Disney SCA Compensation Rights

What has happened?

Euro Disney SCA implemented a Tender Offer detailed in our letter on 19 May 2017. We have received notification that all participants in the Tender Offer have been credited Compensation Rights which are linked to a potential future cash payment. As a participant in the Euro Disney SCA Tender Offer, you have been issued with 1 Euro Disney SCA Compensation Right for every Euro Disney SCA Share held in your Vantage Fund & Share Account.
                                         
Currently the Euro Disney SCA Compensation Rights hold no value and cannot be traded, however they represent a potential future cash payment. If any payment is received, this will be credited to your Account and we will send notification detailing the compensation.

Haven't seen anything like this before. Can you give us an update?

[A&S&O]

Nothing more to add - thats all we received from Hargreaves Lansdowne.

Our shares were held with Halifax, but  we didn't receive anything like it from them.

I checked my Halifax account and it had been credited - even though I hadn't yet responded by saying yes or no.  Anyway .. seems I didn't really have much choice here.  I have emailed Club Actionnaires to see if I still have my 'perks' for the next 10 years.  Will be visiting in November - does anyone know if Salon Mickey will be open still?

All shareholders either voluntarily sold their shares or had them compulsorily sold to The Walt Disney Company.

When they were asking people to voluntarily sell their shares, Disney said that current members of the Shareholders Club could retain all perks of membership for 10 years - or until they decided to revoke them.

So, as far as we know, at the moment everything remains the same.

Has anyone successfully bought an annual passport recently using their shareholders discount? The shareholders club replied to me by email today saying we still qualify for 15% off, but the sales reps on the phone say "no"
