Hi there, I wonder if someone would be able to give me a little bit of help as my brain is hurting trying to work out what to do for the best!
When we go to DLP, we usually just purchase a package. However, in April, we're going to be popping over for just 1 night (2 days in the parks) so we've started thinking about Annual Passports. We'd expect to be going back in October, maybe December (outwith the blackout period), Feb and April again so it would be well worth it.
We're a family of 4 - two adults, a 4 year old and a disabled 9 year old. Our plan was to buy tickets at the gate when we get there in April as our disabled son will get the 10% discount and one of us will go free as a carer (we don't usually take advantage of this as we go as a package). The plan would be to buy Fantasy Passports but can't decide if all 4 of us would need them. I've been having a read and it seems that if Cameron (our disabled child) gets an Annual Passport, one of us would still get in free as his carer each time we'd visit. So, that's one adult who wouldn't need an AP. I've also been reading that the best way to book is usually book one adult as a package then add the additional guests as room only.
So, (I really hope I'm not confusing you!) could we buy both children Annual Passports, I'd always go free as Cameron's carer and my husband could do without the AP and just book the package as a single adult? Would we need both children to have one or is there pretty much always an under 7 free offer on (can't remember ever booking and there not being such an offer on)? If that's the case, Cameron could get the AP, I'd be his free carer, my husband would book the room & tickets package and include our 4 year old as the free child.
I really hope I haven't lost you - my brain feels like it's about to explode!!
Thank you in advance x
