AP question

[Khufu]

On this link [sorry it won't let me put a link in cos I'm a newbie!} it says that if you buy a dream pass you can get 5 free day passes a day. I am going on a coach trip wiht Leger in October and again over Christmas - I get two day passes each time.

Can I do this:
Use one day pass to the park on day 1 and buy myself a Dream pass.
Use one day pass to the park on day 2
Use my dream pass on day 3 and get 3 x free day passes for my family (OH, DD1 age 10, DD2 age 7)
Use my dream pass on day 4 and get 3 x free day passes for my family (OH, DD1 age 10, DD2 age 7)
Use my dream pass on day 5 and get 3 x free day passes for my family (OH, DD1 age 10, DD2 age 7)

Then at Christmas do the same? (well apart from buying the Dream pass again)

thanks

Hi Khufu and welcome to DLP DIS board

Never heard of gettting free passposts with Dream AP. You can buy day passports with the Dream at a reduced price

Would it be 5 free fastpasses? I have never heard of free tickets - sorry

I guess this is definitely wrong or misunderstood. With a Fantasy or Dream AP, you can buy up to 5 day Tickets at a reduced price (10%/20% off). Same applies to Buffalo Bill Tickets. That's all I know connected to the term "5 tickets a day".

It would be really useful to know that link then. Sending you a PM with my e-mail then. I guess we all surely would die for a super saver information like that one

Quick question AP related:

I have a fantasy pass which I plan on using when I go but my girlfriend doesn't.

Can I use my pass to buy her discounted tickets or is the discount only for me during my non-valid dates?

You can use your pass to buy a discounted pass for your girlfriend

Thanks Jackie!

Another Sneaky AP question:

I'm not going to get much time in the parks and I know that you're now limited to 1 fastpass at a time. If I were to take my brothers and sisters AP's, could I use them at the fastpass machines to get extra FP tickets? Or would it reject them because they've not gone through the front gates?

if the turnstyles are the same as in disney world this would be fine. I've done it over there!!!

10% discount for your friends, max. 5 per day.
50% discount for YOU on your non-valid dates (1 ticket per day of course).

Interesting question! First of all the Fastpass system is subject to change from time to time. Sometimes you can get more than 1 Fastpass (at different attractions), sometimes you can't. I even someone reporting he held 2 Fastpasses for the same attraction at the same time... which is strange enough.

I have no idea if the APs has to be "checked-in", and if no one else knows, you definitely should just take them and try your luck and tell us!

This is probably a silly question but where do you get these annual passes from. I've looked on the UK DLP website and they are not mentioned. Although you can get it on the French website. How easy is it to get it from France?

Can you get a UK 3 day hopper/2 parks ticket in the UK and then on the last day upgrade it to a francilien annual pass. Hence avoiding the 48 hour blackout clause on the francilien AP, when you can't use it.

It's ridiculous that a 3 day hopper costs £89 (128Euro) and a francilien AP costs 89Euro. SImilarly, a fantasy AP costs 129Euro

 

[Cyrano]

None of the AP documentation appears in anything other than French.
As packages over better recovery for DLP you have to hunt out the APs

Some have bought temporary APs over the telephone. We purchase ours at the gate and then exchange the temporary AP at the annual passport bureau

Simple answer, no

Just letting you all know: you can use other peoples AP's to get fastpasses! I took my brothers and sisters AP's so me and my girlfriend were able to get an extra FP each!
