Do you need APs to use shareholder discount when booking rooms

[TotallyAngelic]

Hi

Just wondering if you need a valid AP to book rooms as a shareholder and get the shareholder discount, or can you get shareholder discount without an AP. I am sure you cannot get both discounts as when you are buying APs with both a sponsor and a shareholder discount. Thanks.

When you phone the shareholders line they don't ask you about AP, so I think you don't need a AP to get the shareholder's discount

Just read the stuff sent to us and it doesn't make any reference to needing an AP to get the hotel discounts.

Thank you.

Wanted to bump this to clarify - without an AP can I book room only and get a shareholders discount? If yes, could anybody tell me which number I need?

Guess who get their temporary shareholders' club number today.

Hello everyone..the above information is exactly what I was looking for, but did not how to word the question without sounding too confusing...thanks TotallyAngelic !!!

At the moment I am not in Italy , (or Europe) in order to call DLRP and have my doubts clarified...but does anyone know approx how much would a room only reservation be with a shareholders discount. I have been looking at the prices for this winter, and can only calculate the hotel and tkts with 10% shareholder discount.

I would love to go back this Christmas...but when we were there last year I told myslef I would prefer to go back in June...SO....if I were to buy an AP for this DEc. and use it also next year...wouldn't I be saving more than just booking a hotel with tkts in Dec and then for June 2009 ? ( even with the 10% shareholders discount). Hope this does not sound too confusing !

If anyone has booked any of the On site Disney hotels with a ROOM only reservation plus 10% shareholders discount...this summer, would you mind just letting me know how much it was ?. I would then use the the pubished rate advertised in the summer catalogue in order to calculate the difference.

I just want to have some figures €€€, ( tentative) before I go back to Italy next week and "present" my DH with all my ideas for our holidays for the next year !!
After being away with our 2 DD's for 2 months...I'm sure he won't say NO...

Thanks !!

Hi Martina, sorry I can't help you with the figures, but I just wanted to say I like your thinking!

After being away with out 2 DD's for 2 months...I'm sure he won't say NO...

 

[Ware Bears]

Me too! I'm sure you will be able to persuade him!!!

Sorry I can't help you Martina as we have only stayed offsite but I'll bump this up for you.

OK - I'm been looking for room-only and hadn't realised until I saw this thread and then got clalification from the Shareholder Club, that as a Shareholder I could get Room-Only.

So, this evening I call Disney - using the UK number 08706 06 68 00 (which was the number that the Shareholder Club said to use) and asked for a Room Only price with Shareholders 10% discount for:

2 Adults, 2 Children (Age 6 and 10)
Seq. Lodge
Montana Room
Nov 18th - Nov 23rd 2007

The quoted price was £460.

I know that a package (room+ticket - no transport) for the same would be in the region of £682 (quoted from website), which includes a free day/night and I guess a free child (under 7).

Incidently, we also managed to get out of Disney on another phone call the pricing for an AP Dream holder for the same dates etc. In this case the price quoted was for £408.

Having done some sums on the Shareholder and AP Dream pricing, I think the 'real' Room-Only price is roughly £512 for the period. 10% of £512 is £51.2 - which would bring the price to £460.8. Given this I think that the AP Dream discount was 20% - as 20% of £512 would be £102.4 - which would bring the price to £409.60.

Anyhow - back to the Shareholders Price. Once you add the cost of Annual Passport:

Dream: £120.89 (€179) * 4 (People) = £483.56 - 15% (Shareholders) = £72.55 = £411.03
Fantasy: £87.12 (€129) * 4 (People) = £348.48 - 15% (Shareholders) = £52.27 = £296.21

So the total cost would be:

Dream Passport: £460 (Room) + £411.03 (Dream Passports) = £871.03
Fantasy Passport: £460 (Room) + £296.21 (Fantasy Passports) = £756.21

Difference between Package cost

Dream Passport = £871.03 - £682 = £189.03
Fantasy Passport = £756.21 - £682 = £74.21

So, more expensive than the package, however, you then need to take into account the extras discounts that the AP will introduce.

Hope this helps.

THANKS so much Iain for the information !!

The numbers really helped me ! As soon as I get back to Italy I will call directly and see what the offer. The only thing that I have to find out is about buying an AP BEFORE...going...( it's funny I'm thinking already as if we are really going this Xmas...( I haven't read the book THE SECRET..but I read somewhere that's the way we have to think in order to make sure things happen...so I am thinking that WE ARE going in DEC...hahah ) I'll read all the information about the AP and then post to see if anyone has bought the AP though the mail ..

Thanks again !!

Hey All,

Wanted to take the opportunity to update my previous pricing 'example.

Having just booked room-only with a shareholders discount, the booked prices were:

2 Adults, 2 Children (Age 6 and 10)
Seq. Lodge
Montana Room
The booked price was £408.

1 Adult
Santa Fe
The booked price was £183.35

In both cases the dates were Nov 18th - Nov 23rd 2007

It also worth noting that I was advise that should I want/need to add a second person to the Santa Fe room the price would increase by £3.35.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Iain

Hi Martina,

Just to add something to Ian's calculations: I think there is an ongoing offer by which you get one free child AP for adult one you buy. So you might take that into account, as well.

BTW, are you Italian, or do you just live in Italy? I don't know any other Italian shareholder except my and my DH
