Hey

I am booking a amusement park trip late september till the beginning of oktober which includes Disneyland Paris on the 5th and 8th of oktober. (and a lot other lovely parks.. I am so exited!!)
Everything is booked. I only need to buy tickets.

I have seen a lot of wonderful offers on the Disneyland paris site. Like 3 days for the price of 2 on the dutch site (I would love to be able to sneak in an extra day) or adult pay child prices on the Belgian site. But al those offers are for tickets that grant you entrance till the 27th of september.

Is there any change there will be an other offer later in september to replace this one? or do I have to suck it up and buy the tickets online without any deals.

I leave on the 28th of september (for our first park 'toverland') and don't mind waiting till the 27th to buy our Disney tickets if I can get a good deal then. But I just want to know if there is a change.

If you have any other tips to get a deal on disney tickets (in the Netherlands) I would love to hear it too.
Deals on Europa park tickets are very welcome to :D

Thanks a lot  :D

Do you consider getting an annual pass? If visiting for 3 days or more it is a better option than tickets.

Hey thanks for the advise.
I have had an annual pass for a few years for the same reason. But we are on a budget and can't pay more than the  149 euros for the two day tickets. Going a thirty day was just a fun extra but is not something we planned.

Probably stay away from the annual passports then. The cheapest one is €139 and can't be used the 2nd and 3rd days after it is first used. The next one is €189

If you buy your AP online and have it sent to your home, then it's already activated and ready to be used. Unless you choose a temporary one to be issued which needs to be exchanged with a permanent AP when you visit the park.

Not according to the nice lady at Disney when I phoned yesterday. She said everything is calculated from when its first used e.g. 2nd and 3rd day blackout, date for renewal the following year. She said I could buy the tickets now and not use them until June 2018 and it would be valid till June 2019

P.S. Well done on 1000 posts. There used to be a tradition of posting a reflection of your time on the forum every triple zero, but those days have past :-(

Thank you, so happy to have reached 1000 posts!

There are actually two options, if you choose to have your actual AP sent at home, then it's valid from the date of issue and the blackout days have already passed until it arrives. If you want to have it activated at the park, then you choose to have a temporary AP sent to you and the blackout days are indeed the 2nd and 3rd day from activation. It just depends when you want to visit, because if you issue a temporary AP, you have up to 6 months to activate it at the park.

Congrats on 1000 post msRavenswood  and thanks for the explanation about anuall passes. But I still think I will go for normal tickets this year.
Does anybody have any tips about tickets?
