    Hi

    I am looking to visit September / October with my family. There are 6 of us but one is under 12 so are there any dates when she would get a free pass and then I could use the 20% off the other 5 passes?
    Also is it worth buying 100 shares as they seem to be 1.25 at the moment but would give 15% off as well?

    Lastly, being cheeky, could I buy 1 day tickets at the Disney shop, using the 10% off, if still available to passholders, and then use the tickets against the cost of the passes?

    I did this several years ago but am not sure if the discounts still apply?

    Thanks :)

    you only get a free under-12s if you stay onsite and book a package which includes one adult and the free under-12, and for September/October thats probably not going to be on the UK DLP site, but may be on the French/Dutch/Irish site.
    I believe supertrips sell a one-adult AP which includes a free child's one, but I don't know the age limit on the child's pass, and I've not used them personally.


    Also is it worth buying 100 shares as they seem to be 1.25 at the moment but would give 15% off as well?

    thats up to you - it means a £95 outlay (possibly more when you factor in buying fees for the shares) to get a £75 discount with shareholders on your 5 APs (if you go for Fantasy).

    Lastly, being cheeky, could I buy 1 day tickets at the Disney shop, using the 10% off, if still available to passholders, and then use the tickets against the cost of the passes?

    you can buy one-day tickets anywhere you like, and then use that ticket to upgrade to an AP, but I'm not sure you'd then be able to use both the family discount and the shareholders discount together as well as the refund on the one-day park ticket for 5 APs bought together at the same time.

    The shareholders club is closed to new members so buying 100
    Shares will do nothing for you at this time. Rumours are that when it reopens you'll need 1000 shares to join.

    It's either money off or free nights, not both. You're about 2 months too late for any deals with free nights.

    Thanks. I did get the email about free nights, like you've said, a couple of months ago but I didn't get a chance to check it out.

    I have done some comparison - it's cheaper to book them thru disney.fr. is this still ok?
    i'll just book eurostar separately?
  • Hiya all,

    I was due to go earlier this year but we had to change it to next week due to ill health in the family - all resolved now

    We are staying in Cheyenne with Premium half bard meals from Monday to Friday and travelling via Eurostar.

    It will be 3 of us travelling - me, wife and 22 month old

    My question is that of spending money, i know its the impossible answer because everyone could spend a fortune there but we were thinking of taking £750 in Euros which works out currently at 1010 Euros and £200 in English

    Do you think that will be sufficient?

    Total to date ( Since 2008 ) = £37,345 :eek:

    yes using another country's version of the DLP website to book is absolutely fine, regardless of where you live :). Just make sure your bank is aware that you'll be booking, as its classed as a foreign transaction.
