1 day to go - panic questions!

[Iain Chapman]

Hi All,

Flying out to Paris tomorrow evening.

I've some panic questions, which I know I know the answers to, I'm just looking for someone else to answer the question in the same manner!. It's a panic thing!.


Park Opening:
1) If the Park opens at 10am, any thoughts what time you can start purchase entry tickets?

2) If the Park opens at 10am, any thoughts what time Salon Mickey opens?


Annual Passport: Intending to purchase Annual Passports (Dream)
1) What is easier - to purchase an temp Annual Passport at the Park Entry, or Purchase a 1-day Hopper ticket, and then 'convert' it to an Annual Passport?


Thanks

Iain

The tickets offices open at least 1 hour before.

Main Street/Studio 1 opens 30mins before the rest of the park.

Not sure about Salon Mickey.

I think it is easiest to just convert your 1-day Hopper pass, the value of all the passes you have bought will be taken from the total of your annual passes.

Keep your reciept from the caisse when you buy them though.

I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference - you've still got to go to the AP place and get your photo done etc. But, if you're entitled to the shareholders discount, will you still get the full AP discount if you buy the 1-day pass and then pay the difference later?

Have a wonderful trip Iain!!

According to the shareholders web site Salon Mickey is open at 9am, although we have never been before 10am

Have a great time

It is much easier to buy a normal ticket and convert it time wise.
I have done both and would certianly reccomend this way.
It took 1 hr to buy 3 ap's in the ticket area.

Have a great time!!!

Interesting - I wonder why that is?

Sorry, have to disagree with you on that one Nikki.

We bought 5 annual passes and the CM on the ticket booth deducted both the family discount and shareholders discount, plus showed us the park map and where to go to find the annual passport bureau and we were through the turnstiles in less than 5 minutes.

We have been in Salon Mickey just after 9am when the park didn't open until 10am.

Sorry Iain, forgot to say hope you have a wonderul time!

I clearly picked the wrong queue.

We went to Guest Relations (to the right of the main ticket booths) and waited in the queue there for 5 minutes, then purchased 4 (temporary) Fantasy APs very easily - just like buying 4 normal tickets but more expensive! Then later in the day a very civilised visit to the AP office in the park converted them to the real thing.

We've definitely visited Salon Mickey before 10am even though the parks were not open yet so I think it always opens at 9am. Remember to knock loud
