Help choosing best option to buy tickets/APs for 3-6 days

[cherrymarzipan]

Sorry, this is complicated. Having always had Dream APs which we just renew every 18 months I havent paid enough attention to other options and outlets mentioned on here but now I need your help please. DD1 and a friend (adults) now need tickets for the beginning of May. They are staying with us in the HNY but as we have booked two rooms without tickets they need park tickets. They will have four full days in the park plus the arrival and departure days so I thought some kind of AP would be best. Am I right in thinking that that the cheaper APs dont allow access for a couple of days though? As this is likely to be their only trip to DLP in 12 months would some other type of day pass be better? They are willing to forgo the arrival and departure day if necessary as we wont have long then. They will also probably want to go into Paris one day so three days may be sufficient. As well as a dream AP holder I am also a shareholder if that helps. If anyone can give me the cheapest option and details of where to buy it I would be very grateful.

The Francilien AP is the one that you don't want as it has 2 contractual days (2nd/3rd day after issue) where you can't use it

The Fantasy would be good as there are no delays for use plus as they are staying on site even if there are blackout days during your stay they over ride them.

The prices for tickets/Ap's after end of March aren't officially known yet - I have rumoured prices but they are still only that - and tickets aren't on sale via the usual resellers although they are announced.

If you bought a Fantasy AP at the gate today it would be 159¬. Being an shareholder you'd get 15% off I think but you'd have to check on the shareholders site.

You are definitly better off buying an AP even at full price when you are wanting more than 3 days of tickets

Thank you. So, if I've got this right, "worst" best option is to buy Fantasy passes on gate and "best" best is to look out in April and hope a reseller will be offering a better price then when new prices are announced. Do you think we would we have enough time with posting etc. given that we leave on May 5th?

The Fantasy AP's that you can pick up in the flash sales at 119€ are printed at home for an extra 50cts so you can keep on looking out for them right up to when you leave.

You could order one from Cemultiavatages or Promoparcs but you have a joining fee and postage of around 26€ all in so that would be making the AP at 138€

If you were going to do that you'd want to be ordering them 10-15 days before to ensure delivery.

All the above prices are this seasons so will change

Thank you again, we will keep our fingers crossed for a flash sale but if not at least now we know what to do. I checked the shareholders' website and I should get 15% on the APs which will make it cheaper than paying the joining fee and postage on top for Cemultiavantages or Promoparcs.
