Dear all, we have found ourselves still needing 3 sponsors. If you are going before July and want to benefit from getting 10% off the price of your AP as well as helping us out. Then please send me a PM along with posting on here

Sorry, just joined but haven't posted enough to PM anyone -

I'm looking for sponsorship for 2 Dream Passes for my son and I. We are going from 25th May 2008 for a week. I was looking at getting a 4 day pass but have figured that it's not much more expensive to get an annual pass seeing as car parking is included.
Any hints and tips you can give me would be gratefully received too - this is my first time to any Disney place and I'm having trouble taking it all in.

Many thanks,
Ailsa

Hi,

I've pm'd you .

Many thanks Elaine - I tried to PM you back but still don't have enough posts to be allowed to PM you back!
Maybe I should post this reply 8 more times to qualify?!

Perhaps if you can PM me your address I can post you a SAE for the forms?

My son is 8 so no free pass unfortunately!
I was thinking I needed 2 Dream Passes as I want to go again on days that are blocked out (Aug Bank Holiday and Oct half term).
Can I be cheeky and ask for a bit of guidance in what to do next?
How I understand it is I pay for a day's entrance at the gate of DLP and then go the to Annual Pass office, submit the form you send me, buy the pass getting the day ticket refunded. When I come back I then send something to you proving that you sponsored me so you can get free months?

Then we can go 365 days, use discounts, free parking etc and do we get the Magic Hours too? Are there other benefits with it? We plan to camp each visit but would stay in hotels at Christmas etc only I can't seem to find info on those - all prices seem to include park passes too.

Many thanks,
Ailsa

Yes thats right- the other way is to go straight to the AP office at the entrance pay there and they will give you a temp pass but you still need to go to AP office to exchange it .
We bought the day passes but got them before we went to save queuing at the gate- think you can get them from Disney store.

With dream pass it gives you EMH, 365 days, free parking at any hotel as well as main carpark (except Disneyland hotel) - most of us park at New York as it is the nearest.

Once you have your AP you can phone the booking line and they will give you a price for room only at the hotels or you can stay at one of the offsite hotels without tickets (Holiday Inn, Explorers, Dream castle and Kyriad are very close)

Welcome and keep posting then you'll be able to PM soon

Many thanks for the advice and assistance - it's much appreciated!
There seems to be so much to know that I'm really grateful for all the help. I think my son is going to love the place and want to go back a lot so an annual pass seems the way to go. But then I worry that he won't want to visit more than once - some people I've spoken to have said "you can do DLP in 2 days - 4 days is overkill" like it's a competition to get round as fast as possible.
Is there enough to do to keep an 8 year old entertained for more than one visit? I am lucky in that he is a kid who is still excited by things and not like some of his friends who glance at wonders of the world and say "yeah, s'alright I s'pose".
Sorry for all the questions but I have limited finances and want to get best value for my money and need to make sure DLP is right for us.
Many thanks,
A

I figured they would be but it's nice to see these boards are moderated! I'm half way to 10 posts now!

My family are going to DLP at the end of May. We need sponsorship for the Fantasy passes we will be buying. Does anybody know if they still do a free child for under 7?. If not we will be purchasing 4 passes. I have never used this method of communicating before. If you can sponsor me how do I get in touch with you?

Hi Rachel,

Yes, up until September 08, certainly when you are there in May, you can get a free annual pass for a child aged under 7, when you buy an adult pass.

You can't combine sponsorship with the childs free pass offer, but if one of your children is aged 7 or over, or under 3 (and therefore not eligible for the free childs pass offer) you could still use sponsorship for discount on 1 or 2 passes.

If you let the members here know how many passes you will need sponsored, I'm sure someone will PM you with their information.

Thanks for the info . I therefore need sponsorship for 2 passes. I have just 1 child under 7 so would buy a non discounted pass to claim this. Is there any body who can sponsor me. By the way what is a pm? Its probably obvious but like I said I have never used these sites before!
