Anyone been recently and bought an annual pass?

[Tink78]

Hi,

We are off next week, and are there for 5 days.
I want to have access to the parks for the whole time we are there.

I think it's best for me to get an Annual Fantasy Pass.

What do I need to do?

I think I buy a 1 day pass and get it upgraded near Discoveryland to a Fantasy Annual Pass and they deduct the cost of the 1 day pass off the cost.

Is that right?

How much is the Fantasy Annual Pass?

Do I need to tell the person at the desk that I am planning on upgrading my 1 day pass to an annual pass, or do I just ask for a 1 day pass?

What are the black out days for this pass?
We are there 25th-29th August.
I think I should be ok but don't want to upgrade to an annual pass and then find out we can't get in on Bank Holiday Monday.

Thanks

Hi. The Fantasy Passport costs 129 euros. It gives you access to both parks, 335 days/year. I'm not sure what the black-out dates are, so hopefully someone else can reply to this post. (Disney does offer another annual passport called "Dream" which costs 179 euros and access to both parks for 365 days/year.)

If you decide that you want an Annual Passport, just let the clerk know at the ticket window. He/She will charge the price of the Annual Passport and give you a temporary park pass to enter the DL park. Then make your way to the Annual Passport Bureau. It's located to the right of the castle. There, you will have your photo taken for your Annual Passport and they will ask some personal questions (ie. your address, date of birth, etc.). Remember to bring a photo ID with you. It will take about 10-15 minutes for the entire process (unless there is a waiting line).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.

129 euros is great.
Is that about £90 each?

That's a fab price me thinks!

Does anyone know the black out dates for the Fantasy Pass?

Hi,

We were there 2 weeks ago (such a long time already!) We bought 1 dream and 3 fantasy passes direct from Disney UK. We exchanged the temporary passes at the annual passport office, like you say, by the entrance to discoveryland, between the Castle and Buzz Lightyear ride. The blackout days are listed on the fantasy pass. Next blackout days are 25-27 October inclusive.

Tosty.

Hi Karen,

Try to get a sponsor for your annual pass. You get 10% off. If you decide to sponsor people in the future you will get

1 sponsor - 1 month extra
2 sponsors - 2 or 3 months extra
3 sponsors - 12 months extra

I would sponsor you but I have to have my pass for 3 months which wont be until December.

Hope you have a great trip.

Hi there,

Apologies for jumping in on your thread, but I wondered if Tosty could let me know what the number for Disney UK is.

I'm trying to get some temporary annual passes sorted out before we go on 10th September as it's the last day that the Lion King is showing & we won't get there till 1ish, so I don't want to waste time.

I seem to have gone all around the houses for weeks now phoning, emailing & posting to various French no's/addresses, & finally thought that it had been sorted out, only to get a very confusing call from Disneyland Paris, who said they'd have to call me back & didn't. It looks like my card hasn't been charged & I have no confirmation email, so it's not promising!

Sooo .......any help in getiing a contact number to sort it out would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Kate

Hi,

We phoned 08706 06 6800 which is on the disneylandparis.com website. They gave us booking references on the phone and said they would send confirmation email, but I didn't receive one. Passes arrived about 4-5 days later. They are temporary ones, which get you into the park. Not sure how many times you can get in with the temp passes. You exchange them at the AP bureau. It was open from 10am when we were there. We had entered the park at 8am for Fantasyland breakfasts first, before going on some rides then doing the AP just after 10am.

Regards

Tosty.
