Partner hotels - offers

[lilacgems23]

As this years prices are so high we're considering staying in a partner hotel and they currently have 1 day & night free. Is this the best / only offer they tend to offer on their partner hotels?

 

[Ware Bears]

Is this booking through Disney? It usually works out cheaper to book the partner hotels independently and then buy either tickets or annual passes. The only thing to remeber is that to get access to EMH you'd have to buy Dream annual passes.

 

[ManCityMickey]

You are generally better to book separately.

We got 5 nights for 3Adults and 2 Kids, June3rd-8th plus 5 Dream AP's for £1040. The Disney package with tickets is over £1600!

If you want me to search for you, let me know when you are going and your party size,

 

[lilacgems23]

It works out over £100 mOre expensive for us to book it separately

Will you mind not having EMH lilacgems?

I'm sure you've already looked into the prices etc, but when I was pricing up for my dates in June, the Santa Fe was cheaper than any of the associated hotels, through Disney.

Could you work out what kind of discount you'd need on an onsite package, to get it to the same price as your associated hotel quote?

 

[lilacgems23]

No we wont be using EMH this time round as Ill be 28 weeks pregnant again and found it too much last time I was pregnant.

We were looking at Thomas Cook Explorers to give the children something to do at the hotel too and this is coming up cheaper than even Santa Fe. I'm itching to book but wasn't sure if 1 day and night free is the best it ever gets for this hotel.

What are your dates?

17th-21st june

You could have a Crew 6 room at Explorers for around £500. I based it on the same party as ours, 3 adults and 2 kids. Depending on your party make up, it could work out a good deal.

 

[lilacgems23]

Were a family of 2 adults 2 children (1 under 3) . We was quoted £431 room only or £762 including tickets for 4 nights. If we add on 3 annual passes it works out more for us. We would need to buy Fantasy as the cheaper one has blackout days during our stay and the next one you cant use for the first two days after buying it.

 

[lilacgems23]

Is there a cheaper way of getting an annual pass other than my 15% shareholders discount?

 

[DLPdaft]

travelrepublic is £392 or so for your dates for the Explorers, bed and breakfast. If you bought 2 adult fantasy passes through cemultiavantages they are 109 euros each, and your DD1 would get a free fantasy pass from them.

so a total of around £576 for exactly the same thing as Disney are quoting you £762 for.

 

[ManCityMickey]

Yes, ce-multi... will give a free AP for under 7's with every adult pass purchased.

 

[lilacgems23]

Thankyou both, on their website now its all in French and looks very confusing.

If you use google chrome as your browser, you can translate the page into english

Basically, you join their "club" for 20euros. You can then purchase AP's at the discounted prices, not forgetting you get a free under 7's AP for each adult AP you order.

I joined, ordered and received my tickets all within 7 days.

 

[DLPDreams]

I've just bought APs through them too - only ordered Tuesday night so obviously still waiting for them to arrive. Seems to be OK so far.... their emails come in French though so you need to translate (not hard using the net if you don't speak the lingo - my reading french is prob better than my speaking so it wasn't too bad).

I got one for my DD2 (3 yrs, 4 yrs when we visit) free which is great. We saved 50 euros on the two adult APs although obviously you have to take off the 20 euro 'joining' fee and the recorded delivery type post which they encourage you to take as a foreigner - think it was just under 7 euro. Still a really good saving though

Do you think you could help me?
Im trying to book for 6/7 nights and for 2adults 2 kids ( 4 & 3) - we'd idealy like hotel d'elysse or explorers if we can't get onsite but would take any of the higher graded ones for reasonable prices.

We have to go during the 8 July - 22 July - some time between these dates and will stay anywhere that is handy to the parks - i.e walking ( rather than shuttles from partner ) or rer if in val d europe.

Many thanks - we have only stayed onsite and have never even seen any of the other hotels - we were always preoccupied with the park
