Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Thanks BalletShoes
Been searching through this forum at length going mildly space crazy trying to work out the risk involved
I did see a post where someone said they were asked to confirm their address, and that was the reason for my question.


You mentioned elsewhere on this forum that there is a 20% discount if you buy 5 Annual Passes?
Could you explain briefly the process involved, can it be done in advance or is it done at the park?
It would effectively mean 4 for the price of 5 and would work out approx. £106 per ticket (if my maths and exchange rate is correct) which would give me peace of mind and only be approx. £25 per ticket more than doing it via the French address method


thanks in advance, and also for your rapid initial reply

the family discount of 20% per pass is only available when you buy the APs at the gates of DLP. You have to buy exactly 5 APs of the same type, at the same time, to get the 20% discount. Its that simple, just take all of you and all of your passports with you when buying your APs. Do you all have the same surname?

Myself and my son have the same surname - my wife's passport is in her previous married name, and my two step daughters have a double barrelled surname of a combination of both.


EG - Me and my Son - Smith
My Wife - Jones
My two Daughters Smith-Jones


We are all resident at same address obviously, but will this pose a problem?

take a copy of your marriage certificate and all the kids birth certificates too then, so they can see you are all immediate family .

Hi Everyone


We go in 6 weeks and can wait. I think we're going to try and get the Annual Fantasy passes (9 of them) for 5 adults and 4 children from CE Multi. I've got someone who is willing to have them delivered to their French Address.


My question is, on the temporary passes do they have your names on them or are they blank?


The reason for this is, I dont want to have my name going to my freinds French Address as it may confuse the local postie / delivery man.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am looking for a hotel that is good value for money. For 2 adults and 2 children, for 4th to 8th august. We already have annual park passes so just require a hotel. We will not have access to a car. It doesn't matter if breakfast is included or not.
Can someone please help me

Hello,

I am pricing for 4 nights 5 days in November and it's coming up as £446 for Santa Fe for two adults, when I priced before 12th November with the free half board the price sky rockets so we wouldn't save money at all it seems. Would you say this is a good price for the time of year and length of stay or is it likely that a new offer could come out beforehand? Flights are coming in at £141 from Bristol which means total cost for two would be £586. This would obviously not include spending money or transfers from and to the airport.

Also, is it worth paying the extra £216 for plus dining or £168 for standard dining? Or would we not spend this amount on food during the week if we were to have breakfast? We would most likely have sandwiches etc during the day and maybe fast food service in the evening and maybe one table service, possible character breakfast.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, upon booking, if I call am I able to pay a deposit and could I book in a travel agent for the same price?

Thanks

there will be more offers for November, you could even get a flash sale price of 50% off if you can wait until October to book, but then if you are relying on flights you might find the flight price will have gone up by then for November. If the price you are seeing for the Santa Fe now is 2 nights free, thats the equivalent of just under 40% off.

no, definitely not ever worth paying for a meal plan at DLP, they are restrictive and they don't save you money.

yes if you call Disney to book, you can choose to pay a 15% deposit plus booking fee, and then the rest of the balance must be paid by 60 days before you check in. I wouldn't use a travel agent at all for DLP, because you can do it all yourself easily and you can amend your booking/make room requests direct with DLP if you book direct with them.
