14.88 euros per day lol

[stargatebarbie]

just worked out that we have used our 119€ fantasy pass for 8 days 9 if you count the half days in the park before and after traveling,that makes it 14.88 euros per day wow total bargain try going to any theme park for that per day . Has anyone got more that 2 trips with their pass can they do even better than that work it out ? also im sure the 20€ joining fee has been got back after all the discount in the shops and restaurants cant believe we used to buy the 4 days passes for years

yes I can do better than that (and I'm sure loads of us can, those annual passes are awesome ).

My first lot of annual passes were around 170 euros when the exchange rate was a lot better than it is now (so around £125), I got a kids free one with that, l used AP sponsorship to get mine extended for free for another full year , and I used them in total for 5 trips to DLP, totalling 23 days park access. So thats what - around 7.40 euros per day.

7.40€ wow any advance on 7.40€

Not here but wow Elaine you are a pro!
We are in Ireland so the travel can be expensive so we don't get to go as often as I think we should. By their expiry dates I will have done 3 trips on these APs but 1 offsite, 2 onsite. We booked the nominal 1ad 1ch with both onsites as we had blockout days and these nicely covered them but I would honestly say in shop and food discounts alone they have saved us a fortune.

Our next stay would have been at the Kyriad but DH and my Mam very nicely upgraded us (myself and the kids) to the SF as a lovely treat for my birthday and turned our 3 day trip into a 5 day one.
StargateBarbie, I would love to ask you a few questions about the Kyriad at some stage as I see you really like it.

We will also be back in May 2014 but our APs will be out by then. I think I may just renew though as DD is 7 and that new offer is too good to miss out on.

While I have two APs veterans here and if its ok to hijack, can I ask, what is the best route for me to go for renewing with one adult and two kids (7 and 4)? I was reading another thread about an extra 6 months for free? Thanks ladies. We will be there in October (Mine and DD's expire end October and DS' in January), could we renew then maybe?

 

[DLPdaft]

if you want the 6 months free rather than the 15% off (if you're a shareholder) then you can renew and get the 6 months free within one month either side of your AP's current expiry date.

You can renew in person, and you can also renew by post, and still get the 6 months free (you just have to ask for that when you renew).

I think you should work out the numbers though - as it might be better for you to buy one AP and get a childs for 35 euros through cemultiavantages, and then get the other child's renewed at DLP and get the 6 months free on that one.

If I renew in person are they €200 each for Dreams APs? Even my DDs (7) ?

well we are always on a tight budget ,but yes we like it ,it does what it says on the tin clean ,free bus, breakfast (although i did like the dlh breakfast would deffo do that again)

 

[kizzabel]

Thanks a mill, I will PM you soon if thats ok? I think the Kyriad looks lovely. Very homely. And everyone is having brekkie at DLH! Its on the to do list for October

yes, Disney themselves don't discount the APs or have the free/reduced childrens AP offers.
eta - you don't have to renew to the Dream if the Fantasy or even Francillien would suit you - I haven't tried it with the Francillien, but I've renewed from a Dream to a Fantasy pass, and still got the 6 months free on the renewal.

 

[kizzabel]

Thanks Elaine. I'm thinking I will just go with CeM next March or April as I won't get back between October & May so the extra 6 months would go to waste and by then DS' will be out of the time frame for the free 6 months. My mams coming on that trip too so we'll be staying onsite as her mobility isn't great and I'll just include DS on the room and add myself and DD at check in. Thanks again for your help.

What a bargain!

We got three trips out of our first set of APs - I think it was a total of 18 nights ..... oh, those were the days!

I was interested after reading this thread how well we've done with our AP's this year and just managed to find them.
We bought them in the parks with shareholder discount last June - which was the belated half term due to the Jubilee. We returned in August and as half term is back to end of May again we're squeezing in our third trip.
We bought Francillian worked out really well as had Sky tickets for day two and had a day in Paris day three, paid 101 Euros.
So once we've had our trip in May its worked out as 8.42 euros per day.!
Quite impressed, cheaper than a cinema ticket !
