1st Trip to DLP

[Alibaba40]

Hi all,
Have been viewing this site for months now getting all sorts of really useful info so thanks very much for that.....
We are going 17th may for 2 -3 days and are bringing a motor home so we just need to buy tickets to both parks.
I am looking for advice about Annual Passes.
Can i buy one from the gate and thats it or do I have to buy a day ticket and then purchase an annual pass inside the gate?
Also i have seen the posts on here about buying from french sites at discounted prices and wondered do you have to be a shareholder for that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks
Ali

I don't know about the discounted tickets but can answer your first question:

You can either buy the annual passport at the normal ticket booths, or upgrade a day ticket to an annual pass whilst in the parks.

If you pay for it at a normal ticket booth, you still have to go to the AP office to get your actual pass (they just give you a temp one at the gates).

Hi,

If I were you, I would buy a Fantasy Pass. With that pass you have acces to the parcs almost all year round, only not on the busiest days (like Christmas Day and such). I believe it is 330 days out of 365. The pass provides you free acces to the parking, 10% discount in restaurants, 10% discount in shops, 15% discount on Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, and around 20% discount on hotels (varies per period), and some more things I believe. The costs are around €139, but if you can find someone who already has an annual pass, they can give you 10% discount (they will get a stamp for that, and with 3 stamps they get an additional year for free).
You also have a Francilien Pass (which is for French people) and a Dream Pass. The Dream Pass gives acces all year round and has some more advantages, but costs €199 (without discount that is).

You can buy the annual pass at Donald Desk. Donald Desk is located before entering the Disneyland Park. If you are right infront of the Disneyland Park enterance, you go to the right, so you're also walking to the enterance of Disneyland Hotel. Right across that, is Donald Desk.
Sometimes DD is closed, so you can buy some sort of receipt at the normal ticketpoints (both Disneyland Park as Studios Park). You just say you're going to buy an annual pass (and which one), then you pay for it right there and then, and later the same day you can go to Bureau Passeport Annuelle in Disneyland Park. There is some sort of the same place in the Studios Park, but I don't know the name exactly. It's across Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, next to Blockbuster Cafe.

I can't help you with sites offering discount, as I'm not expierienced with that.. Sorry.

If you need more information I will gladly help.

Greets,
Joyce

Just to clarify that the Francilien pass isnt just for French people but is available for anyone.
There is also a new AP- Classic (I think) which is the cheapest option

With either Fantasy or Dream passes parking is free AND you can overnight for free in one of the car parks. This is not a campsite. You can use toilets and showers in the coach drivers facilities, and there is a waterpoint but that is about it. However it is free of charge and there is plenty of space, and you are right there on site. We have used it a few times now. Be warned the music goes on til late and starts early, but we are generally so tired after our day in the park nothing will keep us awake!
