Im so confused :(

[EmmaDRPFan]

Hi everyone - I wonder can anyone help (again) I have book drp seperatly and am now trying to book tickets for the park.

There are 2 adults and one child (3years) - would I be right in saying that I am better off getting 2 annual passports and ds's would be free? Im a little confused about the annual passes - cant find anything on the website. We want to be in the park for 3 days, and the prices for the 3 day hopper comes to 360euro for the 3 of us - is there a cheaper way to do this.

I am hoping to get the tickets on the first day of our hols (have no cc to book online) can I purchase the ap on the first day also (I heard its not valid for 2-3 days after purchase)

I am looking for the best price so if anyone can help me I would be ETERNALLY grateful!

Hi Emma

You would be cheaper buying annual passes and getting the little one free .

There are three types on annual pass - Dream (179€ ) Fantasy (129 €) and Francillien (89€).

You can't use francilien on day 2 and 3 after purchase.

Difference between Dream and Fantasy is (more) blackout days for Fantasy and you can take advantage of EMH with dream.

One of you could be sponsored and that would take a further 10% off one adult pass.

I'm afraid you'd have to pay full price for the other one to get the kids free offer providing you are going before Jan 6th.


I've sent you a PM about sponsorship this will make it even cheaper

Hi there, we go on 3 Nov - 2 ad and one 3 year old (his birthday treat!) - where do you buy the AP from? Thanks.

We just got back (yesterday) we brought out annual passes with a DIS Sponsor (Dream - 161 euro) We purchased them at the guest relations desk, which is to the right of the entrance and then they give you a temp pass to get into the park and then you go to the annual passport office to get your real one. All you need is a sponsorship form (to get the 10% discount) and your passport and either the euros or a credit/debit card. We opted for the dream pass as you also get 20% off in all the shops and 10% in all the restuarants/food places. I have worked out the the discounts we made in the shops and on food has already paid for one of our passes! so well worth it.

Thanks for that. I was confused about the annual passports too. Was going to buy 3 day hopper tickets for two adults and two children under seven. If the children are free, it will work out cheaper to buy dream annual passports - does that seem right? Will the free children's passports be valid for 12 months as well?
I was under the impression we needed to buy a 1 day hopper to get into disney, which we could upgrade to an annual passport once inside, but it seems thats not the case - we can just purchase something on the gate? Is that right?

If you want to be sponsored best bet is to buy a one day pass at the gate and upgrade inside to annual pass with sponsor form.

If you want to take advantage of kids free offer best bet is to buy annual passes in full at gate as they'll not refund anything you spent on 'free pass' at the annual passport office.

This may mean best way to do it in a family with one child is to split up and one person buy the full price adult and free child at the gate and the other adult buy a one day pass to upgrade with the sponsor form (there have been reports they do not let you combine offers in the same group - hence the splitting up)

Hope this helps a bit get someone get the best deal !! A bit of a pain maybe bit definitely worth it

If you look on DLP Magic site (sorry cant post link) it lists benefits of all different APs

Please keep sponsorship conversations to the sponsor thread. Thank you
