Sponsorship Of Annual Passports

[xtine]

Basically you are stuffed... I have had a long conversation with a Disney customer service person about exactly this because it looked like 3 forms had been lost in the post and they were adament that they need the form with the original stamp - its ok if the form is a photocopy in the first place but you must have it after its been stamped.

If it gets 'lost in the post' then you cannot claim your extension even though they do indeed have the details on file. Luckily for me the forms I was missing eventually turned up - but the latest one hasn't yet.

You are totally reliant on the integrity of the person that you have sponsored.

If they do not return the forms then they have had their discount but you cannot get your extension and you cannot sponsor anyone else.

I guess this is why you should only sponsor people you know - or maybe ask for a deposit for your form?

In my instance I even sent a stamped addressed envelope with money to cover sending the forms back to me by registered post so I am hoping that I will get the form back soon.

Maybe its the same person we are waiting on and they just haven't got themselves organised yet? here's hoping.

Could well be, this person was looking for a LOT of sponsors!

I wish I had known how strict Disney were before, I would most certainly have been more careful about where I sent my forms, and would have thought twice about sending them to the same person I think!

Thank you for pm to myself about sponsorship. Unfortunately i cannot reply, because 'i am earning my ears'. I am not sure how to get around this.

Yup - same person - I don't think she gets to a PC often though as was slow in replying to previous PMs so may be we just need to wait.

Hello xtine

I am really really sorry but I have not been on my home PC since return from holiday - there has been bad stuff going on at work and all kinds of problems I have been trying to sort out.

I am really sorry but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get Disney to let us use any of the sponsor forms. They said that if any of our group used free child places, then no one would be allowed to use sponsors for an extra discount. I had expected that as we only needed three child places the others could use the sponsors but this was not allowed.

I have all the sponsor forms and will return tomorrow to everyone that was kind enough to offer to help us. Once again, I am really really sorry not to have been able to help.

 

[xtine]

Thanks for letting us know.

That seems very unfair. I would have thought that they would allow you to enter the park as seperate groups iyswim.

Oh well - if anyone needs sponsorship for up to 3 people please let me know by PM or email.

Is the discount with sponsorship still available if your children are under 2 when you buy annual passes for adults?

 

[kevankiki]

I agree with Xtine, I can't see why the group couldn't have separated up, particularly since presumably they weren't all from the same family?

Still, I am very glad to see you back on the board MandyMoo, and I also am able to sponsor 6 people

This is different to my friend's experience. In her party of 3 adults 1- 4 year old and 1 -2year old she was allowed to sponsor 2 people using one form (my daughters) and pay one full price and get the 4 year olds free.Her 2 year old was free so couldn't get a passport.

The annual passport office always seems confusing to me. I was thankful I got someone helpful this time but it does seem very hit or miss.

Just to let you know I didn't have a problem getting both, first my husband went through with Photocopy of offer with my 6 year old on BOGOF and paid with his visa, then I went through with my 2 sons also using DH vias and use 3 sponsers for the same person, I also had a photocopy of the sponsers AP which I didn't need at the desk but she used it in the passport office.

Hope this helps someone.

I also got my unused forms back from MandyMoo. I am going in 12 days. Has anyone tried hanging round the passport office to see if anyone needs sponsorship? Or does that sound really desperate?

 

[kevankiki]

Received my forms back from MandyMoo this morning, thank you so much!

Now I am ready to sponsor up to 6 ppl, should anyone need sponsors.

Hello,

I will be staying in Paris for a few months starting in July. I plan on getting passes for myself and my 4yo. I think I read that there is a promotion for buying an adult one and getting the child for free. Anyway, I am not sure on the details of sponsering, but if this would work for anyone, please PM me. I plan on going to DLP sometime during the second week of July.

Thank you,
Deanna

 

[kevankiki]

Deanna, you should be able to obtain a free pass for your daughter as she is under 7, I believe this is not advertised however, and you have to ask for it.

Unfortunately, you cannot combine sponsorship discount with this offer, sorry.

 

[xtine]

Hi

I called just last week and there were discounts available in August at the Davy Crockett (30% off) and the rate for the Santa Fe seemed cheap as well so I assume it had 10% off.

Are you getting your annual passes sponsored? If not let me know as I still have 3 spaces.

Moved this to the sponsor thread

Got my forms back from MandyMoo - desperately need to find 3 people to sponsor before September as we have already booked our trip in October where we hope to renew our passes!
