Advice on AP renewal

[kizzabel]

Hey all

So my Dream AP expires in October and my next trip is in November which I booked with the intention of adding myself upon arrival at the DLH. I am due 6 months free with this renewal but am unsure of what to do as I won't be back to DLP for a bit. We are saving for an early 2016 trip to WDW.

I don't know whether to get sponsored and save some money or buy a Francilien AP via post and save more or just go ahead with ordering the Dream AP for the savings associated with it alone!

I have one more trip booked for March but don't need the AP bar for discount on that trip (onsite).

I doubt very much we could go between October 15 and April 16 but at the same time I thought DLP would be a once off in 2010!

I would love some perspective! We generally eat one TS/Buffet (€350 for our normal 5 day break approx) and one CS per day and spend €400 in the shops onsite.

Is it easy to get sponsored? Where is the best place to enquire? Am I missing an option?

Thanks in advance!

Great news about WDW Kizzy btw
Got a few plans for that year
You can not get sponsored sorry you need not to of had a Ap for two years for that.
What about down grading your Ap to a cheaper one blackout dates won't apply as your on site €129 for 18mth for a fracilllian doesn't seem to bad you will still get your 10percent off your meals

Even if you are onsite then the first 2 days after you buy a francilliean ap still apply. These are not black out days as such, they are contractual days weree no admittance can be granted so there is no way round this - apart from renewing your ap through the post - you can downgrade with no problem

If you spend 400 euros on shopping you will get 80 euro discount using a dream ap, so you may just as well renew that as this the 2 combines works out the same price as the francilliean and if you do decide to head back then you are not restricted at all as to when and where x

Oh bother, totally forgot about the sponsorship rules!
Im going to get out the calculator and dlpguide and get some rough maths done on it! Thanks x

I am liking your reasoning plus with the savings in March it would more then cover the cost. It just feels like a such a waste getting 6 months free when I am almost 99% sure I wont get to visit during those months. But who knows
