YEY!

Yeah it's EuroDisney SCA shares that you need.

As far as I know you can buy them for anyone over the age of 18.

Selftrade seem to send you an emailed certificate which you then send on to the shareholders club (AFAIK)

Probably, unless you can buy them through your bank instead...but that's obviously something you'd have to ask them.

thanks for the help

as cap'n says, it is quite easy to buy them, and from memory u have a 'portfolio' on selftrade, and u can print ur receipt from there that says how many shares that u have bought and post that - thats what i did.
make sure u allow 6 wks for the card to come, it does take a while, but it def worth it!!!

am thinking of buying sum more to make up to 20 - espec with the rate being so good lol

 

[manxtatt2]

thanks scampbunny n capnjack

hoping to get them this week , if not it will have to wait till next month

I was going to buy some shares as well, however I'm learning I cant buy them through my online broker here in the States. Any idea where I should go?

 

[Stickytutu]

I also am looking to buy shares from the states does anyone know the best way to buy them from the states?

 

[DopeyDave]

From the States...

I bought my first 1000 EuroDisney shares (now 10 shares) years ago through either Merill Lynch or Charles Schwab (I don't remember which one I was with at the time of purchases)

But I just recently purchased another 10 shares, to make up 20, through Wachovia Securities.

I hope this helps.

Hello, I am thinking it might be good to have some shares in Disney Paris. I am a total numpty though. Where do I go, any ideas of the cost and what privileges would a shareholder get when booking a trip. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I opened a dealing account and had no problems getting everything done.

Manxtatt how did you get on with the share purchase. I keep looking at the selftrade site and am absolutely stumped. There are French ones, German ones and Canadian ones. Which are the ones to buy. I would have thought the French ones but they don't seem to have the SCA after them, which people on here say are the ones. I am hopeless.

 

[manxtatt2]

still looking

am not gong to buy until next month

when you search for eurodisney
under french , symbol edl , clck this one and under security details it will say SCA

hope this helps

I have been planning to buy shares too (as soon as I pluck up the courage ) Think I'm going to opt for 20 as they seem quite cheap just now and would pay for itself in couple of years not having to pay the 30E per year membership. Soooo want to go in Salon Mickey!

What sort of price are they at the moment? Like everyone else am stumped as to which ones I should be looking at

 

[Carpgirl]

They closed at EUR3.17 today. Sounds pretty cheap to me.

 

[manxtatt2]

yeh 3.17 euros at the moment

a few weeks ago when i looked they were nearly 4 euros

Thanks guys for the price info - so re above, if I buy 20 I would be entitled to join the shareholder's club with all its benefits/discounts? Sounds too good to be true, think I have missed something????
