Billet Francilien validity

[southcoaster]

Ist time on doing anything like this, so i hope I've got it right! We're going on a first time family trip (2 adults, 3 kids) to DLP at end March and have booked lovely looking local family accom independently. Started looking for best ticket prices and found a link to French Disney site that describes BOGOF on Billet Francilien for electively dated tickets til April 3rd. This would be a big saving for us. They are apparently "accesible a tous" and you can print them at home so no delivery/collection issues. Is there a catch? Can't see why we can't go for them but only found some information from Pokemom who was trying to use them. Was this successful? Can anyone help?

Hi southcoaster . Elaine, Jackie, Elaine and Reid welcome to DLP DIS board

We are a friendly bunch here so please join in on any other thread or if you have a number of questions then just start a new thread for each

If you have not had a look yet, DLP posting rules are here, DIS posting guidelines can be found here.

Glad that you found us

The tickets you found are very restricted annual passes (AP) that have quite a few block out days. You have to activate on day 1 by entering the park. Then you cannot enter the park on day 2 and day 3. Thereafter subject to block out days you can use the AP as normal.

How many nights/days is your trip planned for ?

I think Reid it's the day passes the OP is referring to, in which case
there's quite a bit of info on this thread, which might be of help.

Apologies if it is the AP's you're talking about.

Sorry about that. Trying to read and have my supper all at the same time

thanks for initial feedback. Yes, it's the day passes I'm interested in. We're going for 4 nights and plan 2 days at DLP and a day in Paris. The link I found them on is idf.disneylandparis.fr/index.xhtml and it's 29 euros for 1 day 1 pk or 37 euros 1 day hopper. Days we want to go (31st Mar and 1st April are fine). You get one child ticket free for each adult one purchased and then we'll pay the same rate for our 3rd child so total cost (think we'll stick to one park as it's our first visit) will be 3 x 29 euros x 2 days = 174 euros in total. Even at today's exchange rate this seems great. Have got as far as selecting dates and tickets and entering personal details and printed off specimen ticket. All seems fine. My sister lives in France and is fluent - she took a look for me and can't see why we can't do it. They just say you need to show proof of kids' ages at gate and buy in advance. Printing at home so will have them in our hands on arrival.Think I will go for it unless anyone knows otherwise?!

P.S not very good at finding my way round here so sorry if i'm duplicating stuff. Could only find my way back to thread by googling billet francilien validity!
