Actually they did release a PIN

When did you get that? Can you still get it?

I'd like the opportunity to buy a VIP fastpass. I know asking for it to be free would be a bit far fetched but as the only way to get one is stay in a premium room. I think it would be cool if we could get to Disney and have the option to pay a bit for one.

Personally, I don't like the idea of being able to buy your way to the front of line (like you can in Universal Studios).

I cant quiet remember. I am a member since 1999 and it may have come with my renewal card one year.

I got mine a few years ago, I simply asked them for one explaining that I had never received it. They quickly mailed it to me.

I don't know if they still have it, but you can always ask. I sent them a mail via the website.

Thanks never2old and dejmurph1 I might try that

I emailed the shareholders club about the pin and received the following -

We have well received your request to receive a Shareholders Club exclusive pin. However, we inform you that this pin was a limited edition and, up to this day, all the pins that we had have been distributed. As a new release of this pin is not being considered, we regret that we are then unable to fulfill your request.

Do people think that if they get enough requests ( eurodisney@clubactionnaires.com ) that they will produce new pins?

To be honest, the main thing I'd like right now is for the requisite number of shares to not go up to the rumoured 1000.  To say it used to be 5, then 20, then 100...

I've always had 100 but buying an additional 900 would be unlikely to happen, so my wish list doesn't currently extend any further than this!

Our February trip is likely to be our last involving Salon Mickey.  Bad times...

I feel like they are trying to drive out individuals that have shares and make it more corporate - 1000 is ridiculous.

Out of interest - what have peoples returns / dividends been? I've never been in the position to buy shares until now (I'm 22) so it would be good to know if people have / are likely to make a profit?

No returns or dividends on the DLP shares.... At least none since I've been a shareholder  But you end up making your money back with the various discounts in the parks (shops and restaurants). Or you used to. Will need to wait and see what the new membership criteria are!

As never2old has said, no dividends as such - they use the Starbucks accounting method - any "profit" goes straight to TWDC to pay licensing fees.

Our rationale for joining was, we buy shares for £x, reap the benefits of being a club member, then if needs be we sell our shares for £x - no profit, no loss, no dividends, just benefit from discounts and muffins.

The reason that the number of shares needed to be a member has gone up is because the share price went down and because £1 was worth more ten years ago than it is now, consequently as prices have gone up, you save more money in discounts (and the cost of muffins has gone up!).
(I'm guessing here but) you used to have to hold 20 shares at around £8 = £160, then the shares went down to around £3, so they upped the number to 100 = £300. People are expecting / guessing the required holding to go up to 1000, with the share price at around £1.

When we first bought shares, we saved the entire cost of the shares by buying two annual passes.

Oh that's kind of annoying that you don't get any return but if it's only £1000 it doesn't seem too bad (in the grand scheme of life - it's a lot in comparison to years ago). Waiting to see what happens before my decision is made on where and who to buy shares with.

£1000 = 250 muffins.

Yeah thats why I'm waiting til the end of their financial year and possibly til 2018. Seems a tad unsafe at the moment - interesting to know though. Just wish I was 10 years older so could have got in for cheaper!

How do you mean?

[rebecca20]

I would have loved to have got shares early on (like when DLP was a big deal and you got a pin and better benefits), but I was always too young and my mother although being a business owner is not interested in share buying so never bothered getting me any... even though she got me a paving flag outside the DLH!

I love my paving flag but shares in DLP would be preferable. God help my future children
