Sponsorship Of Annual Passports

[Cubitus]

Hey Julie, and welcome, too...

I guess you informed yourself well and do the right decision You gonna have a magical time!

Should we buy 1 day passes here and get them refunded? or is it better to buy temp AP at the gate and then go to the office in the park itself?

It's completely up to you :-) Usually I'd say "buy APs directly at the entrance"... if you once queued at the cashier, why then getting something that will be refunded anyway! Showing the sponsoring coupons will work without problems there.

I only suggest getting day tickets for those who arrive at the Resort at peak time, with long queues at the cashiers. This might apply to you depending of your arrival time on saturday... In this case you can consider to buy at any Disney hotel reception, at the RER counters or several other places shops and places. You should then definitely get the 1-day tickets as the 10% coupons are not working there.

Not to confuse you but to have stated it: There were rumours about CMs telling visitors that "refund and 10%" isn't possible and you HAVE to buy the AP at the cashiers. I can definitely tell from own and friends and forum users experiences that the refund thing is an an appropiate way to handle it nevertheless what a CM means to know better

Once again, have fun! :)

Hi,
Is this the best way to do it? I believe we have to buy passes at the park? Should we buy 1 day passes here and get them refunded? or is it better to buy temp AP at the gate and then go to the office in the park itself?

We bought the day passes before we went then could go straight into the park. This meant we didnt have to queue at the entrance and could go and enjoy a couple of rides first.
We then went to the AP office (near entrance to Discoveryland) and got dream passes.
We got money refunded for day tickets and 10% off with sponsorship.

I tried to do this last november, and the cast member at the main entrance had never seen this form before!! And i had to buy a one day pass and get my refund at the AP office

Remember that you can't sponsor in the first month of having your AP!

Hi Cyrano,

Angela has sponsored one of my family and she mentioned you were going to sponsor another 1 for me its just that I haven't received your form yet.

If you can let me know, as we go on Saturday and would hate you to miss out.

I'm just back and got 4 annual passes. I am just wondering how it works if I sponsor someone? I know I have to wait a month or 2 before I can sponsor, but then within what time period do I have to take the completed forms back to Disney to get the free months added to our annual passes?

Thanks

We got passes last month and Im sure it said something on the info we were given about the sponsorship form lasting til Nov. Im hoping it will be extended to give us chance to sponsor people

You can sponsor after having your passport a month and can claim your extension a month before expiry

The written "how-to" on the form (in french, haha) says you should be at the AP office in person at least "in the month before the month of expiration" which is a funny rule (as this can be a limit of 1 day or even 30 days). You're on the safe side with showing up at least 4 weeks before expiration (or earlier of course).

You can either send the form together with your AP the postal way. The earlier you send, the better it will be working, but I know from own and other user's experience that they even manage to handle letters that arrive a week before expiry. Important is that it can be processed within the validity of your AP.

Talking about the form itself, it's foreseeable that there will be a new Parrainage form in November as the actual one will expire then (which just means you can't do new sponsorings after that date probably; the one you already have filled out and stamped will of course be accepted!).

I am now in a position to sponsor two people, if anyone is interested?

 

[Lenny]

I'm looking for a sponsor.

We'll need someone who can sponsor two people as we will be buying two passes and it will be easier not having to mail forms from and to two different persons.
We'll be buying our passes between Xmas and New Years 2007.

First come, first served...

EDIT: Sponsor found
