Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Hi, I am looking at buying the annual passes from ce multiadvantages but wondered if I would still get the 20% off for more than 5 bought?
Does anybody know if the discount is available through them?
thanks

no, the 20% family discount is only availabe if you buy the annual passes at full price through Disneyland Paris themselves.

The rules of the 20% family discount is that if you buy 5 annual passes (either Dream or Fantasy) at the same time at Disneyland Paris, and those passes are all for family members who live at the same address, you get 20% off the cost of each annual pass for those 5 people.

So, if you have more than 5 annual passes to buy, you don't get the 20% off on the 6th or 7th annual pass etc.

Whether you buy through cemultiavantages or at DLP itself, all of you who are having annual passes must be present when you go to the annual pass office in the park, with proof of ID/address (ie passports for everyone, utility bill etc for adults using the family discount) as the permanent annual passes are photo-laminated passes, done at the Annual Pass office in the parks.

Hi everyone, new to this site and wondering if anyone can help? Want to take the kids to disney land paris next summer - will be me, dh and 2 kids who will be 8 and 6. looking to go whit week at end of may as that seems to be the cheapest time (have to go in school hols as dh is a teacher) Disney website is offering 15% off and child under 7 free - comes to 600 at cheyenne. does this sound like a good price or will better discounts come up nearer the time? also wondering cheapest way to get there, struggling to find flights for less than 800 if anyone has any ideas id be v grateful as have never taken the kids abroad before. thanks

May is never a particularly cheap time to go to DLP, so £600 for 4 of you isn't that bad a price really (check if you can change the room type though, that might reduce the price a little).

Do you have a budget airline which flies into CDG or Beauvais airports? Can you drive there (it will be way less than £800 doing it that way, you can use Eurotunnel with tesco clubcard vouchers, or the ferry etc). Could you make it to London, Ashford or Ebbsfleet to take the Eurostar directly to the gates of DLP (the prices won't be out for May next year yet, but if you can book as soon as the prices become availabe by phone, you could get fares of £69 return per adult, £49 return per child).

Thanks for the reply, through ce multi it says free passports for under 7's so with their already reduced rate it might work out cheaper, I will have to work it out. So none of the passports above 5 get a discount? Well that doesnt seem very family friendly of Disney when we are a large family spending a lot to come and visit them!
Thanks for the tip off!

if your children are aged at least 3 and not older than 6 when you next visit DLP, I'd go with the cemultiavantages reduced price passes and free kids passes offer, Disney can't beat that (ie with Disney the dream pass is 199 euros, with cemulti its 149 isn't it so already a 25% discount, and the fantasy pass is 159 euros with disney, its only 119 euros through cemulti, so again its already discounted by 25%, and you get free kids passes too).

There is one way of getting more discount for 5 members of your family paying for annual passes - you'd combine the family 20% discount with the shareholders 15% discount. However, you'd need to buy shares to do this, which obviously costs money (around £70 all in for the number of shares you need to join the shareholders club) but your shares are there for you forever, and you do get discounts on Disney Store UK (10%) with your shareholders card, and access to Salon Mickey for the shareholder and up to 4 family members (its a very small lounge so theres no way you'd be allowed all of your family in with you i'm afraid), for free coffee/pastries once a day. There are other discounts/advantages/promotions which are run specifically for shareholders, so it might be something you'd want to look into if you think DLP may be a family holiday destination for you guys in the years to come.

thanks again for the advice, it does work out much cheaper through ce and i get 2 free passes so will go with them. I might look into the shares thanks, no idea where to buy from though! (not stocks and shares savvy! haha)

oh dont worry about that - the only shares I've ever held are DLP ones .

If you're really interested, DISboards on the DLP forum have some threads on opeining a sharedealing account, buying the shares, and completing the shareholders club form. If you google Eurodisney shareholders club, you'll find the full list of advantages/discounts too.

Oh you are brill, I will have a look now. Just need to find accom now to fit 11! Is explorers the only place with up to 6 per room that has a shuttle? (as we are coming on eurostar) Dont really want to start getting 3 rooms. I thought I had seen some self catering apartments for up to 7, but cant seem to find them now.

Have you looked at Eurostar prices???

The kids might like it better on the train, more to see etc.

yes, of the associated hotels (4 of them in a row near DLP) the Explorers is the only one which has room configurations for 4 guests up to 10 guests.

The Adagio at val d'europe might work in 2 apartments? They share a free shuttle to DLP with the L'Elysee hotel.

The Explorers is more convenient though (better, more frequent shuttle times, and its walkable at a push too).
