Sponsorship Of Annual Passports

With our tickets expiring in October and the trip to renew them already booked on the basis that we were sponsoring people which unfortunately never materialised I am getting desperate!

Can I bribe anyone to get an annual ticket in August/September that I can sponsor? ;)

Never mind, Christine. People who'll love to get sponsored will show up probably. Not everybody is planning months ahead, and with being active on the several forums, people will get to you asking for sponsorship (this is what I expected, even if not every "deal" finally really works out, but well, sponsoring is a gift, isn't it? You can't force it to be given...)

Just keep your eyes open, or even involve your "real life" friends in getting interested to visit the resort :-)

Oh and by the way: Disney actually offers 6 free months on renewal of your Annual Passports. They told me after I contacted them (being a bit desperate myself) when my AP was close to expire. I can pass you the e-mail I received.

:cheer2:

I know... its just frustrating... my DH doesn't really like Disney so I need every means possible to persuade him to go again - getting the passports renewed was the carrot I used to get him to book the October trip.

If we can't get the 4th passport renewed we will probably wait till the next trip to buy it again as DH will swear blind we won't be going back (although I know better ;) )

Oliver - Could you post the info in your email relating to the free 6 months. It sounds interesting. I'm in a similar situation to Christine my DD has a 3 sponsors and I currently have 2. , DH has none. My pass expires at end Jan but it's not worth going back to just renew one pass:confused3 .Although with easyjet prices at the moment maybe a day trip might be in order :lmao:

You'll never have to plan a Disney trip just to do the renewal, nor to have the extra months for sponsoring people added. Look at your 'parrainage' form, the address of the Bureau Passporte Annuel is listed there. Just make sure they'll get your paper- and plasticwork in time and they'll happily issue a new AP for you.

If I got this right, you still have time until January to find a 3rd "sponsoree"? Well... relax ;)

The 6 months on top renewal offers apply to APs close to expiration. I remember they send out a letter offering those "extra months" to Dream AP holders about 2-3 months before expiration date. If you didn't receive any offer, it's worth sending a mail to them, asking if "there's still the renewal offer your friends told you about" or whatever. I guess they'll happily offer you something to keep you being happy...

For me, they encouraged me to send in my AP for renewal and refer to the offer they e-mailed me.

I am looking to buy 7 Fantasy Passes all adult I think as the youngest of those is 15 years old - sorry if I have got this totally wrong but if a diser sponsored the passes we would get a discount and they would get a benefit too??? We travel on Sunday 5th August, Have I left it too late and is it a lot more hassle than just buying them normally?

Hi

Nope, you haven't left it too late and you will be inundated with offers because you will save 10% per pass and the sponsor will get up to 12 months added to their pass for free if you return the form to them. You will need 3 forms as each form can take 3 sponsor places.

I would LOVE to sponsor you because my passes run out very soon so I will try to send you a PM with more info. If you don't get it please contact me by email or you can PM me.

Mel.
I have a form I can send you for 3 more if you need it still.

Hi - I can sponsor you - drop me a PM with your snail mail address and I'll send you the forms.

You will only be able to use the AP when you get it for a 4 day visit if you go for the Dream (I think) I know for the cheapest one you can't use it on the 2 and 3rd day after buying it.

Hope to hear from you.

Hi

I have a few questions about annual membership, and will possibly need a potential sponsor.

I am going to DLP on 26th August for 5 days, and the best price I can get for 5 day passes is £88 per adult and £72 per child. (2 adults, 2 children – age 7 and 10).

So I have been told the annual pass works out at £87 (fantasy). I’m only really interested in it for the 10% discounts, as the price difference is minimal.

My questions:

• Can I get annual passes for the adults only, and just get the 5 day passes at £72 for the kids? ( I believe the kids annual pass is same price as adult, so this would be the cheaper option)
• If we go for a meal, will the kids meals be included in the 10% discount, or does it only apply to the actual annual passholders.
• I don’t speak any French, so how hard is it to sort out the sponsorship form at the gates when we get there?
• And do I have time for someone to sponsor me at this stage (going in 20 days time!).

Thanks in advance

this would be fine.
• If we go for a meal, will the kids meals be included in the 10% discount, or does it only apply to the actual annual passholders.The discount is for the whole table
• I don’t speak any French, so how hard is it to sort out the sponsorship form at the gates when we get there?I would reccomend buying a day pass in advance and going straight to the Ap office where they will work out the discount for you
• And do I have time for someone to sponsor me at this stage (going in 20 days time!).There is time as all you need is somone to post it to you.
 
Lots of questions..! So let's figure this out and get a nice collection of (hopefully helpful) answers.

• Can I get annual passes for the adults only, and just get the 5 day passes at £72 for the kids? ( I believe the kids annual pass is same price as adult, so this would be the cheaper option)
There's a "kids AP for free" offer until 30 Sept 2007. It's valid for your little ones up to 7 years. For your 10yo, you might get the 5-day then.
• If we go for a meal, will the kids meals be included in the 10% discount, or does it only apply to the actual annual passholders.
Restaurant discounts are always valid for the complete bill of the table, including your kids, friends and everyone else whose bill you pay.
• I don’t speak any French, so how hard is it to sort out the sponsorship form at the gates when we get there?
• And do I have time for someone to sponsor me at this stage (going in 20 days time!).
No problem at all. You'll probably get the form pre-filled with everything you need (at least I handle it this way) by letter or even e-mail (just print it out and you're done). Then you rush to Disney, buy a temporary AP at the entrance (or just a 1-day ticket which'll getting refunded later). Then walk to the AP office, it's between the main hub and the entry of Discoveryland. Ask for an english-speaking CM; they'll put your name in the 'waiting book' and call you up after a short time. Show them the sponsorship form, they'll know what to do. If your kids are up to 7, then ask for the free AP, as it might not be offered by the cast unrequestedly.

After typing this all, I recognized the blue answers above.. oops, didn't see them, but well now I'm gonna post my answers too as theres a little news in them ;)

Thanks for your replies. The youngest is 7 already, so I assume it wont be free for her? Just under 7s?

Is the annual pass office open all day? we will be arriving at 7pm in the evening, so would it be ok to go in then and get the annual pass?

Can one adult get both annual passes while the other adult waits outside with the children, or do we need to both buy day passes?

Thanks!
