Annual Passes at DLP

 

Are you looking to buy a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass?

Annual Passes can be one of the best purchases you will make if you are looking to spend more than a few days in Disneyland Paris. Of course, they aren’t for everyone and if you have found a great deal on a Disney Hotel then Annual Passes may not be worth your while buying.

What is a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass ?

A DLP Annual Pass is a special park ticket which lasts for 365 days from activation. There are 3 levels of Annual Pass, each with special benefits according to price. Annual Passes offer discounts on restaurants, parking, special events & more.

Should I buy a DLP Annual Pass ?

Well, everyone’s holiday plans are different but generally speaking, if you intend to visit for more than 3/4 days per visit, or spend a lot of money in shops and restaurants then Annual Passes could offer big savings. If you intend on visiting more than once in any year then the savings can be massive! Read our full guide and if you still aren’t sure then contact us for more advice.

  1. Hello great site and advice! we are a family of 3 visiting DLP in July. we will be visiting the parks on 3 days total for our trip and may return at a later date. I’m looking to buy the infinity pass for myself then using the pass benefits of 39EUR each day for the other 2 tickets, however i understand you cannot pre book these – and have to be bought on the day, what time will the ticket desk open to purchase these? as i was buying the infinity pass for the savings but also for the extra magic hours, that i understand can be used for all guests travelling – however if the ticket desks aren’t open during extra magic hours then this would maybe make me re think 🙂 thanks Nic

    • Hi Nic,

      Sorry for the late reply but we have had a lot of posts blocked by our over-zealous spam filter!

      Ticket desks open at 8:30am. Be aware though that you can only purchase up to 5 tickets per week. So 2 people needing 3 days of tickets each would not be valid under friends/family discount.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

    • Hi Dan,

      All prices are listed on our Annual PAsses page. There are no Adult/Child prices. All passes are one price.

  2. Hi. I am wondering how annual passholders find out about special events? I saw on twitter an annual passholder night in Sept 2019 so it made me wonder how to find out about these things ahead of time? Thank you.

  3. Hi, i applied for discovery annual passes (received in DLP on 4th Feb); bank declined credit card payment yesterday as the company charging was “Le Grande Livre” and not “Eurodisney” as advised. Spoke to someone in DLP on the phone and she said whole application has been sent back due to declined payment. Am I better off sending in new application asap or should I wait till other one comes back?

    • Hi Caroline,

      You should contact your bank as some banks are known to block international transactions until authorised by the account holder. It’s just a case of them lifting the block & DLP re-submitting the request.

      So, best option would be letting bank know you will be making this payment then calling DLP back & asking to re-process rather than send back.

      Failing that i would just wait on the form, photos etc to be returned which should be a couple of days.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  4. Hi, I sent away for 5 discovery passes on 28th January (20% discount), received in France on 4th February, credit card payment of €595 was declined today as unknown requester (Le Grand Livre). Rang up DLP and lady told me my application was sent back as payment declined! We are going on 25th March. Am I better off sending whole new application ASAP or wait for other one to be returned to me? I wanted to get the passed fully activated before we go

  5. Looking at getting year pass for our next visit in July if I brought them now would they be activated from now or on the 1st day we entered the parks then for the year ? As don’t wanna waste time on pass knowing we wouldn’t be going until July this year!! Or am I best to get them on our 1st day we arrive at park and can you still do the monthly payment sceme thanks in advance

    • Hi Adam,

      If you buy now over the phone or by downloading & posting the AP form then they will send you out a “temporary pass”. This pass is exchanged on arrival for your full Annual Pass. The date of validity would begin upon arrival. Temporary passes last 6 months so only order one within 6 months of your first day.

      You can still do monthly payments option.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Hi Adam,

        Yes, i.e. if you receive your temp pass on 1st March you will have until 1st August to exchange for your Annual Pass. If you exchange it on July 27th then your pass will run from July 27th for a full year

  6. Thanks so much for the info! Sorry to be a pain but so I’m clear in my mind. We can buy the magic plus at the park & we’ll be able To use it everyday?
    Also, do you know how much the handling fee is to buy these over the phone so we have done them before we get there?
    Many thanks again!
    Lesley

    • Hi Lesley,

      That’s correct. With a Magic Plus pass you will be able to enter the parks every day in August with zero blockout dates for any reason. There is no fee for purchasing these by post or over the phone.

      If you buy over the phone you will receive a temporary pass by email which you print off & show at the turnstiles. This allows you into the parks & you need to go to the Annual Pass office to have your picture taken, sign the form & they will create your full pass there & then. The process takes about 20-45 minutes.

      You can save this time & have a fully activated pass sent out to you by printing the order form on the Disneyland website, filling it in including payment details. You then post it to the address on the form, including in the envelope 2 passport sized photos & a note asking for a “fully activated pass”. This way you will not need to go to the Annual Pass office at all as the pass will already be activated the day they send you your pass.

      In August, wait times at the Annual Pass office will likely be at the high end of the 40 min wait time.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  7. Hello,

    I’m planning to go to DLP on 6th to 10th April. I’ve booked the hotel separately and planning to buy annual passes. Do you know if the prices of the AP are due to go up on 1st April and if so when will we find out the price? It would make sense for me to try and get sponsored and save 10% but not if it means paying the higher AP price. Thanks

    • Hi Bridget,

      We don’t know when or even if prices will go up this year I’m afraid. Last year they increased on March 21st but only the Discovery & Magic Flex/Plus passes had a small price rise. Infinity was unchanged. The 3 lower passes had increases of around 6%, 13% & 4% respectively. I can’t be much help I’m afraid but in todays climate & with a number of planned closures & renovations i personally would be surprised if there was an increase even close to 10%.

      Unfortunately it comes down to a judgement call for yourself.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  8. Hi,

    Thanks so much for your reply. If I was to buy the passes over the phone & then swap the temp pass for Annual pass when we get to the park are day 2 & 3 counted as block out days like I have read in some of your previous posts? We just don’t want to be stuck not being able to use the passes at any point in our week. We travel on 18th aug so safe from the parks blackout dates.

    Thanks again for your help!
    Lesley

    • Hi Lesley,

      Sorry for the late reply. Theday 2 & 3 blockout dates ONLY apply to Discovery Pass holders. Magic Flex & upwards are totally fine.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  9. Hi,

    There are 5 of us (2adults, 3kids) visiting Paris in August this year. We are wanting to purchase the magic flex annual pass as we are in Paris for 7 days so we can visit Disney as much as we like in that week.
    Can I buy the pass online or do I have to do this by post? If I buy the annual passes on the first day in the park are there days I then can’t use the pass that week?
    Will the 20% off large family discount still be available later in the year? I was hoping to get the passes before we go but nearer the time so maybe July so passes can then run July-July rather then sat in drawer until August.
    Love your website by the way! Fantastic information Ive found on here!

    • Hi Lesley,

      The Magic Flex has blockout dates on 14th, 15th & 16th August. If you are going on these dates then you won’t have park access. Every other day is fine. Magic Plus & Infinity have no blockout dates.

      You can buy the passes over the phone, by post or when you arrive & have the option of paying in full or taking the monthly payment option.

      The 20% family discount is a fixed offer with no current end date (it’s been running for years).

      If you purchase over the phone or by post they will send you a temporary pass which allows you entry on day 1 & you then exchange the temp pass that day for a full Annual Pass. The temporary pass can be bought anytime 6 months in advance of your trip & will run from the date you activate it for 12 months.

      If you need any further help then feel free to ask!.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  10. Hi there, going to Disneyland Paris for 4 days and so it’s a no brainier to get an annual pass.
    Just wondering, if you have bought a single day ticket in advance (not on the gate) can you still just upgrade this to an annual pass on the day and have the day ticket price deducted?

    Thanks so much!

    • Hi Dan,

      Yes, you can upgrade a day ticket bought in advance from any seller (not just Disney directly) as long as the ticket has the value you printed on it so that Disney can deduct the value from your AP cost.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  11. Hi,

    If you send off the form to pre-purchase an Annual Pass, can you choose the start date or is it the date DLP create your pass?

    Also, if you wish to pay by Direct Debit, is that only possible if you buy the pass in the park? Doesn’t look like it is possible from the form?

    Many thanks,

    Sam

    • Hi Sam,

      You have 2 choices of start date which depends on how you send your application. You can either do a normal postal application & they will send out a “temporary” pass which you upgrade to a full pass on your first day. Thus activates the pass & starts on the first visit.

      The 2nd choice is to apply for a fully activated pass which will start, as you say, on the date they send it out to you. You can’t choose a fixed date I’m afraid.

      You can pay monthly using the postal forms, check the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass page link here – https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/annual-passes/

      Scroll down to the links to download the forms & you need to print off the THIRD form for monthly payments.

      I hope that helps, feel free to ask anything else

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  12. Hi! I Have a question about the Annual Pass. I want to buy the Discovery one. Can I buy it on Friday, March 29, and use it next Monday, April 1? Does Saturday and Sunday count as 2nd and 3rd blockout days after purchase it? Thank you!

    • Hi Marta,

      Yes, Saturday and Sunday would count as the 2nd & 3rd day blockouts. You could then visit on the Monday with your Discovery Pass. The blockouts for April are from the 6th onwards but the 1st-5th is accessible for Discovery passes.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  13. Hi Billy. I am going to DLP just before Xmas. Have booked travel and hotel separately. There are 3 X adults and 4 kids going for 3 days in the park. A couple of questions if you don’t mind..
    There is me, my 3 kids and partner living here but my partner has different surname (not married) to us. What way could we prove he lives here to get 20% annual pass discount? If this can’t be done then what we be the most cost effective solution to buying park tickets for all 7 of us (2 friends plus us 5) I think I’ve worked out if 3 of us got annual (magic plus) passes and bought others discounted day passes, does this sound about right? Many thanks for your knowledge and wisdom.

    • Hi Verity,

      DLP understand modern family dynamics & although it says you need to be related, this isn’t always strictly true for many families. Is your partner the father of any of the children? That would easily show a family connection. If not you can try to get proof such as joint bank account, letters to the address or anything like that showing a family connection of him at the address. Things such as Tax Credit letters where you are both named? It’s not 100% certain & could depend on the CM you are served by but most should see the connection if you have evidence & entitle you to the 20% family discount off your 5 Annual Passes.

      If it doesn’t work out then yes, your plan sounds the best way to go although it may be worthwhile looking at one of you getting an infinity pass for the added shopping & restaurant discounts among other perks. You would also get a free Annual Photopass with it which all 7 of you could use to get free photos at meet ‘n’ greets & rides etc. It would also save a lot on discounts at restaurants if you are all eating together as the AP can get discount for up to 6 people at the table of 20% etc Something to think about.

      If you need any further help then feel free to ask.

      Kind regards
      Billy

      • Thank you so much for your advice. I think I’ve worked out a way to show link for 20% discount, am I correct in thinking we all have to purchase same pass not mix?. Also could you clarify how would I go about getting the day pass discount b pet annual pass, can this be done if I send off for passes by post?

        • Hi Verity,

          You can mix passes. You get the day pass discount by buying a day ticket at the entry gates on each day simply showing your Annual Pass.

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  14. Hi, we’re going to do what you suggested and get the annual passes before we go. So do we just need to attach a note to the form asking them to activate it for us before sending?? We go in the 3rd December if we send them off Monday will they get here in time??

    • Yes they will arrive in time. Attach a small note but ALSO 2 x passport style photographs of each person applying along with the usual printed & filled in application.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Okay, that’s great, we’re going to send off the application for my mothers discovery annual pass tomorrow , is it going to cause confusion if we use my address as the delivery address as I’m going to be paying for it? I’m just going to get my pass when I’m there as going to get the magic plus annual pass now so there’s not black out days while we’re there.
        So do I just need an ID photo of my mother , scanned copy of her ID (using her driving licence ) and then an scanned copy of my ID (using passport) as I’m paying for it??

        • Hi Florrie,

          sorry for the late reply!

          Yes, you need to send off the application form along with 2 passport sized photos of your mother, a copy of id & the payment along with a short note detailing you want a fully activated pass sent out.

          Kind regards
          Billy

  15. Hi,
    Were going to Disneyland Paris in December for 4 days in December (there’s 4 of us going) but spending one day in Paris. My daughter already has An infinity annual pass and gets a free carer. I was going to buy myself and my mother a discovery pass but read somewhere it can’t be used on the 2nd and 3rd day is this correct? We’re staying in sequoia lodge room only, as book it with daughters infinity discount. Or would I need to upgrade to the next pass to be able to use it in the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of our trip??
    Thank you

    • Hi Florrie,

      Yes, if you buy on arrival then you will have day 2 & 3 blocked out.

      However, if you apply by post before you go then you can be sent out a fully activated pass valid from the date they send it out to you. So if you were to apply today, they will process the application & start the pass from the date they send it back to you. This way day 2 & day 3 of your pass will already have passed & you will have full access every day you are there. The downside is that the Annual Pass will run from the date they send it back (so say you done it now, it will run from there processing date for 12 months so be valid from approximately end of October this year to end of October next year).

      It’s quite a simple process though. To do it this way you need to print off the online application form from the Disneyland Paris website & post it to the address given along with address, bank
      details, scanned copy of ID etc BUT ALSO include 2 passport sized
      photographs of yourself along with a short note asking for a fully
      activated pass then they will create it & send it out fully activated.
      The date of your pass will begin the day they send it to you so there
      will be no Day 2 or Day 3 blockout.

  16. Hi there, we are a party of 5 going to Disney for 3 days (2 nights) in Dec. 4 adults and a 2 year old. We have only booked flights, no tickets or hotels. Was planning on booking 1 room in the Kyriad as we stayed there before but we are flexible. My question is would it be worth our while buying passes, or 1 person getting the infinity pass and using it to buy other park tickets and booking the hotel through the pass? We may/may not be back to Disney within a year (but more likely if we have the passes!)
    Thanks

    • Hi Clodagh,

      A lot depends on what you will spend on merchandise & restaurants. If you plan on going back within 12 months then its a no brainer to all get annual passes with at least one of you purchasing the infinity.

      If you plan on using the duscount to book room only in an onsite hotel then you have to call the AP office for a quote as only a small number are available to pass holders & the not available every day of the year.

      You also need to check the blockout dates dont apply for your stay in December (or future visits) if some will be purchasing passes below infinity level. The Kyriad is a great hotel & one which our family uses when we have our Annual Passes!

      Sorry i can’t be more helpful but there are so many variables & you need to work out the math depending on hotel costs & dates etc

      Kind regards
      Billy

      • Thanks for the quick reply Billy! I know, there are so many variables. I just checked there and the discovery pass wouldn’t suit the weekend we will be there. So could I purchase the infinity pass for €400 and use it to get the other adults into the parks for 2 days for €35 each? That would be €210. We are getting quoted €600 for 2day 2park tickets anyway but with the savings from the discounts for merchandise and resteraunts it could be feasible, especially if we weee to go back again. Definitely something to think about. Wondering how much the hotel would be? Can I ring up and ask without actually having the pass or would they be looking for membership numbers?

        • Hi Clodagh,

          Yes you can ring up for a quote & tell them you will be buying your AP on arrival.

          One thing to note is that you can only buy 5 discounted friends tickets per week, so that puts a slight spanner in the works. If you were more convinced you were going back then you could easily just buy one infinity & 3 magic plus passes (there are some blockout dates to note) & this would be slightly more expensive this time but would make it much cheaper next trip plus the restaurant & shopping discounts, as well as annual photopass for both trips would be great. You also get free stroller rental for the 2 year old etc.

          Are you aware that you can pay monthly for the Annual Passes to keep the costs minimum for December & spread them throughout next year? This may help cushion the blow if you decided to buy 4 passes. Also if you found a sponsor you could all receive 10% discount…… There are lots of people who would hopefully be there same time to sponsor. Lastly, just a longshot, but if any of you have a disability of any sort then you could get a free carers ticket. Just throwing ideas out to try save money!

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  17. Thanks Billy. With regards to hotel bookings with an AP I take it you have to ring up the specific hotel to book and find out what discounts are available. How far in advance can this be done?

    • Hi Mal,

      You call the AP office on 08448 008 898. They will give you a quote for whichever hotel you want to stay in. Offers depend on occupancy rates & how many rooms are available so sometimes the pricier hotels can be cheaper than booking a value resort. They tend to release in 3 month or 6 month blocks in advance. They will have a certain allocation of rooms at around 50% discount then once these are gone the discount will be lowered in stages until all rooms are sold.

      If you call the AP number above they will be able to tell you all the rooms available & dates when they will be open for booking. Generally 3-6 months in advance

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  18. Hi, this may be a dumb question..
    If I buy an annual pass do I get free access to the park (like it is in Disney World) or does it just give me a discount from every ticket I buy during that year?

    • Hi Mal,

      Yes it gives you full access including park hopping to both parks for up to 365 days a year on Infinity. There are blockout dates for lower passes as detailed on our Annual Pass page. The perks/discounts are just an added benefit.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  19. Hi DLPtips, I am going to Disneyland Paris in October and want to buy Magic Flex passes (2 adults, 2 children). Should I apply for theses via post or should I wait and purchase them at the park? Does the magic flex pass have the day 2 and 3 block outs after purchase? Hope you can help me

    • Hi Shannon,

      With it being so close to your visit i would advise just buying on arrival. Just buy a day ticket at the gate for you all and then at some point during the day you can head to the AP office to upgrade it to an Annual Pass. The cost of the day ticket will be deducted from the cost (or used as your deposit if you want the pay monthly option).

      There are no day 2 & 3 blockout with the Magic Flex but the 27th-31st October are natural blockouts. As long as you aren’t going on these dates you are fine.

      Any further help needed then let me know.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  20. Hi Billy,

    I am thinking of getting 5 annual passes, one is for my stepson who has a different surname. I remember the last time a few years back this caused an issue, but eventually managed to get them, what proof is needed for address?

    Do you get 20% off all 5 tickets, effectively getting 1 free?

    Also with an annual pass do you still get the deals, for instance they are currently offering 20% off hotel/tickets and including half board, but if I already have tickets and phone up for a room how likely are they to offer the half board?

    • Hi Dave,

      Yes it can be an issue but if you take birth certificate showing your partner as mother & a marriage certificate to show you are married then that links everyone (if i am reading your situation correctly)

      Proof of address can be any letter adrressed to you &/or naming anyone in the group. Perhaps child benefit letters or school letters for the children & any bill for the adults.

      If you use the Annual Pass hotel discount it will be room only. They won’t be flexible, you either choose the AP discount or the current special offer. It varies which one will come out cheapest so you would need to look into it & do the sums I’m afraid.

      Any further questions then let me know

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      Yes you still get the family discount of 20% per pass so effectively 5 passes for price of 4.

  21. Hi
    Was wondering if you could help me out with a query 🙂

    We are going to DLP for the RunDisney weekend in Sept and have our park tickets as part of our hotel booking

    We will be going again in December form my Birthday (22nd/23rd) (yay lucky me) and I would like to get a Magic Plus annual pass (something I have been wanting for aaaages)

    Am I able to buy the annual pass on my Sept trip but for it to start in Dec for my next trip (as don’t want to be paying for something for 2mths and not be using it) or is it better to buy a day ticket on the gate (in December) and have that taken against the cost of the annual pass?

    Thanks in advance for any guidance you could give

    • Hi Amanda,

      You won’t be able to purchase onsite in September but start in December. However, you can buy one over the phone in September & they will send you out a temporary pass which you can exchange for a full pass in December.

      Alternatively, as you said, buy a day ticket on your first day & get the AP on arrival in December.

      2 trips within weeks! I am so jealous!! Have a magical time!!

      Kind Regards
      Billy

    • Hi Saleh,

      Yes there will be no blockouts on day 2 or 3 or indeed any of the days in October except 27th-31st. They are more expensive (but have added benefits such as discounts at restaurants etc) & you will get 20% discount per pass. To get the family discount though & pay by direct debit you will need to buy a day ticket at the gate & the cost of this will be taken as deposit for the Annual Pass with no further payment until the next month.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  22. Dear DLP,
    We are planning to visit DLP in Oct 18. we staying outside the park.
    Arriving 6th Oct till 13 Oct. 2 adults & 3 children (under 16 yrs).
    could anyone help with following Questions?
    1- If we buy a day ticket for the 7th at the gate then buy a discovery annual ticket can we use it on the 8th of Oct or we have to wait 2 days blocked out days?
    2- can I buy it by paying monthly even if I do not have a french bank account, I have UK bank?
    regards
    saleh

    • Hi Saleh,

      You can use it on the day you purchase but will be blocked out for day 2 & day 3. You can buy a fully activated Discovery pass in advance, which will cancel out the 2 blockout dates (as your pass will be activated on the day they send it to you) but this needs to be done by post. Alternatively you can purchase a Magic Plus pass.

      You do not need a French Bank account to pay by monthly installments now.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  23. Hi Billy.
    please help.
    1- if we arrive at DLP office on 6th Oct 18 and buy a Discovery annual Tickets, Are we blocked for 6,7 & 8th of Oct or just the 6th & & 7th?
    2- if we buy a day ticket on the 7th then buy a Discovery annual ticket are we still blocked for 2 days or can we use the Discovery annual ticket to enter the parks on the 8th Oct?
    regards
    Saleh

  24. Hi,
    We are planning to visit DLP on the 6th of Oct 18, 5 persons; 3 under 18yrs.
    I would like to buy a Discovery annual pass.
    I looked into the DLP website, but confused.
    If I go to the office @ DLP can I get the Discovery tickets with 20% discount = E119?
    and Can we enter the park on the Monday 8th oct?
    Can I pay monthly even if I do not have a French bank account?
    Regards
    Saleh

    • Hi Saleh,

      If you purchase a Discovery Pass on the 6th then the 7th & 8th will be blocked out. If you purchase on the 7th then the 8th & 9th will be blocked. As stated in my other reply you can get round the blickouts by buying fully activated passes in advance.

      If all 5 people are related & living at the same address then you will receive 20% discount on each pass, yes.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  25. Dear DLP Tips,

    Could you please help whether the following is working:
    – My daughter and I arrive to DLP on 8th Oct. We buy a Magic Plus AP for her (for 259 EUR).
    – On 8-9-10th Oct we buy 1 day / 2 park admission ticket for me for 39 EUR.
    – Next time she visits the park with somebody else, they can still can buy the 39 EUR ticket.

    Thanks for the help,

    Viktor

    • Hi Viktor,

      Yes you can do this. She will be entitled to 10 of these tickets per year (maximum of 5 in one week).

      Kind regards
      Billy

  26. Now that after I’ve posted I’m wondering if the plan for 2nd day visit is not possible – because you said only 5 tickets per week.

    As per below I’m wondering if normal tickets at 20% (not the 39eurs tickets) are allowed 5 per day ??

    “http://annual-passes.disneylandparis.ie/”

    (6) Discount on 1 Day tickets purchased at the Disney Parks on-site ticket offers (maximum of 5 tickets per day per Annual Pass Holder). Not combinable with other offers or discounts.

    What do you think ? Your thoughts please.

    Thanks a mil again.

    • Hi,

      Once you have used your 5 per week you can use the 20% offer as many times as ypu like. There are no restrictions on the 20% offer so you can purchase as many as you need in a week.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Great, so hopefully I can go ahead with this plan for the visit to save few eurs.
        Not sure what catch I’ll fall into, will post back after our trip :).
        Thanks a mil, Billy, great work with the website.

        • Hi,

          We would love to hear from you when you return & see all your thoughts on Disneyland Paris. We would love a small trip report to publish on our site for others to see some pros/cons of visitors.

          I do like to see people research before going & getting the best value……. It leaves more money for treats & souvenirs!!

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  27. Hi Billy,

    Thanks very much for your prompt answer.
    Please tell me if below is possible to work out the tickets per week restriction.

    I’m planning to purchase 1 MAGICPLUS AP ticket on 6th aug 259eurs,

    * 9th aug 1st day visit – 5 privilege tickets for 39 * 5 = 195

    * between 10th aug to 15th aug – 2nd day visit – cant use privilege tickets, so use 20% – 5 discounted tickets for 1day/1park MAGIC ticket for adult or child – 57.6 * 5 = 288

    * 3rd day visit on 16th aug or after – 5 privilege tickets for 39 * 5 = 195

    total for 3 days = 937eurs

    I’m only wondering if this will sort out the tickets/week calculation.
    Waiting for your reply.

    Thanks again.

    • Hi,

      Yes this plan will work fine.

      5 privelege tickets on first visit.
      5 day tickets on gate 20% discount on 2nd visit
      5 privelege tickets on 3rd visit after week passes

      Have a magical time!

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  28. separate 1 day tickets
    432 + 378

    810

    multi day tickets

    2 multidays 849 (any 2 days)

    Hi DLPTips,
    We are planning to visit DLP as a group of 6, 4 from same family (2 adults + 2kids), 2 from another family (1 adult + 1 kid). We are staying at a friend’s place in Paris and planning to visit DLP for atleast 3 days. Other than the ticket prices, I’m not keen on other benefits like shop discounts or restaurants etc. So I’m trying to calcualte which combination will give a cheapest price for our groups’ ticket expense.

    1. Purchase separate single tickets on 3 different days :
    378 per day – 2nd week aug (2days – 63 per adult/child)
    378 for another day
    432 per day – 3rd week aug (1 day – 72 per adult/child)
    — total 1088 eurs

    2. Purchase multiday ticket for 3 days (use all 3 days within 8 days of purchasing the ticket)
    — total 1053 eurs (3 * 185 per adult , 3 * 166 per child)

    3. Also I’m wondering if 1 adult gets a family pass (MAGIC FLEX), can I use the family & friends discount as below :

    1st day —
    1 adult annual pass €219
    3 members from same family – 20% of 63 = 151.2
    2 friends invite ticket discount – 20% of 63 = 100.8
    –total = 471 (first day – 219 + 151.2 + 100.8)

    2nd & 3rd day — is it only 252 (151.2 + 100.8)
    3 members from same family – 20% of 63 = 151.2
    2 friends invite ticket discount – 20% of 63 = 100.8

    so for 3 days – it comes to – 975 eurs

    Or can you think of any other cheaper way of buying tickets for our group ?
    Appreciate very much.

    Thanks,
    Eiremom

    • Hi Anitha,

      Well, you have certainly done some mathematics! However for the Annual Pass friends discount this cannot be used on the day a person buys their Annual Pass and is then restricted to 5 tickets per day & 10 tickets in a one week period so unfortunately this way wouldn’t work for you. The cheapest option would therefor be to buy the 3-day or 4-day tickets in advance from any well known ticket seller online. If you have any children under 3 then they wold get free entry or if anyone in your party claims disability benefit or requires a carer then you could get someone in for free each day. Other than this there is no better options.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  29. Will i need to send passport ID for all 5 passes.

    Or will one set of id along with photos and forms be suffice.

    Regards

  30. I am planning to head over to DLP at the start of September.
    I was going to buy 5x 4 day ticket for 3 adults (Me,wife and oldest son) plus 2 kids.

    The discovery annual pass looks as if it works out much cheaper and we could get 4 unblocked days out of it over the time we`re there.

    What is the easiest way to go about this .
    The form says ID required for each member if applying by post (what is acceptable ID).

    If I buy and receive a Temp pass … Do I lose the two days after it has been exchanged to the full pass.

    Thanks in advance

    • Hi Steven,

      You can purchase in advance but you must make sure you purchase a fully
      activated pass otherwise they will send you out a temporary pass which
      wont be activated until you arrive & as you say, you will have day 2 & 3 blocked out.

      You can however buy the pass via post which will be fully activated when they
      send it out to you, so day 2 & 3 blockage will have already passed..

      You need to print off the Annual Pass purchase form from
      Disneylandparis.co.uk & fill in
      all your details. Most importantly you need to include 2 passport
      style photographs for each person so that they can create the pass without you being
      there. You also need to send photocopies of your passport, proof of address
      & payment details. Attach a small note saying you would like a fully
      activated pass.

      They will then start your annual pass from the date they create it
      running 12 months from that date.

      I hope that helps. The whole process can sometimes take around 3 weeks rather
      than the 10 days which a temporary pass would take.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  31. Hi Billy

    I am planning a one day trip to DLP with my family of 7! I would like to figure out the most cost effective way to purchase my tickets. My thought is to buy one Annual pass for Myself at 259.00 then buy 6 Billet tickets @ 39.00 for DH and kids for a total cost of 493.00. My concerns are-
    1- can I buy AP and billet (friend) tickets at same time at he ticket window that opens at 8am?
    2- can I buy 6 or did I read somewhere that you can only buy 5 per week on Magic Pass?
    Thank you so much for your help
    Mechelle

    • Hi Michelle,

      Yes unfortunately you can only 5 in one week & you cannot purchase them on the day you receive your annual pass. However, depending on when you are going you could buy your Annual Pass in advance & have a fully activated pass (not a temporary pass) sent out to you therefor negating the 1st day usage. You could then but 5 friends tickets & a single ticket online before you go. There are usually deals on one day tickets from good resellers. Buying fully activated Annual Pass can take a few weeks to complete as it needs done by post.

      If you need any further help feel free to ask

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  32. Hi

    Great site, keep up the good work! I have scanned the pages and havent seen the answer but apologies if I have missed it.

    Can you do mix and match on the passes IE buy 1 x Infinity pass and 2 x magic plus? I am hoping I can buy all food and use the parking with the Infinity pass and the magic plus passes just for entry.

    Would this work?

    Chris

    • Hi chris,

      Annual passes are individual so yes you could have 1 person have Infinity while another has Magic Flex. Many people do it this way as the Infinity holder can use their pass for discount in restaurants for up to 6 people at the table & get free parking for the vehicle etc

      Kind Regards.
      Billy

  33. Hi Billy,

    As you seem to be the font of all knowledge on Euro Disney I once again turn to you for advice!

    I am taking 2 kids plus 4 grandparents for a week in July – Grandparents will only go on maybe 3 or 4 days so I was thinking annual passes for me and the kids, then buy the extra daily tickets for grandparents using our annual pass discount. Is there any benefit to getting the grandparents annual passes rather then just paying daily at the discounted rate? Is there quicker entry or any other bonus to having an annual pass.

    We are staying off-site so I’m not bothered about food discounts or shopping discounts as I will have annual passes anyway so we can get those discounts – just wondering if not getting them passes will save me money and allow more cash for spending whilst there!!

    Thanks again for all the advice, you are most helpful and its great you help everyone else out.

    regards

    Ian

    • Sorry forgot to mention – is there any benefit from the infinity pass parking as opposed to the Magic Plus pass that offers free parking? I will be driving to the site each day as we are staying 10 minutes away so just wondering if there was any benefit to infinity?

      Thanks again

    • Hi Ian,

      sorry for the late reply. You can get discounted tickets for your grandparents but you would have to work it out depending on exact dates going. Each Annual Pass can get up to 5 tickets per week at a discount so you & 2 kids would be able to buy 15 tickets per week between you. As you have 4 grandparents this would leave you paying full price for one of the grandparents one day if you are going for 4 days (16 tickets). For Magic Plus you would get them at €39 each per day. For 4 days you are talking €160 for discounted tickets for 3 of the grandparents as opposed to €219 for the Magic Flex. The single day ticket if you went on day 4 for the 4th grandparent would be around €70 (20% discount as opposed to the €39 ticket) so added to the other 3 days at discount the total would come to around €200 so still cheaper than an Annual Pass. So looks like just buying discounted tickets will be slightly cheaper & if your grandparents aren’t thinking of going again within 12 months then the Magic Flex will not be of any added benefit to them at all as you will be able to use your own AP for any discounts in shops, restaurants if you are with them.

      As for the Infinity being worth the extra you have to factor in the added perks which would benefit yourself & whether the extra €140 works for you. Firstly, you would get discounted tickets for €35 instead of €39 for Magic Plus. This would save you €16 for days grandparents tickets. Not sure if you would want the photopass+ (lasting 12 months) but this is free with Infinity & has a value of around €80 & saves paying €10-€20 per individual photo on rides or at meet ‘n’ greets etc. You would also get an extra 10% off all shopping (this can mount up if you, kids or grandparents are buying merchandise in the shops) & an extra 5% off restaurants in the parks (for up to 6 people at the table, ask for a split bill if 7 of you). There is also guest storage perks for Infinity holders where you can take a bag into the parks but store it throughout the day at guest storage. This costs €7 per bag per day & you can store 3 bags & have access to them when you like throughout the day. If you’re kids are young & need a stroller then Infinity allows you free rental for one of these & also, if any of the grandparents have trouble walking you can also get free wheelchair rental (valued at €20 per day per rental).

      As for the car parking (I assume you have a 7 seater & just one car?) then Infinity allows you VIP parking area which can be much closer to the parks for faster access on arrival & also much less of a walk in the evening when returning home. It’s a judgement call & weighing up which benefits you feel are value for yourself.

      One last thing, if any of your party have a blue badge or in receipt of DLA or PIP then you can get free carers tickets for them & passes which will help with queueing etc.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Hi Billy,

        Your thoughts as always are much appreciated. One thing which I didn’t mention. With the annual passes clearly we will need to go into the park on the first day to get our full Annual Pass at the pass office – I’m guessing we would then have to leave the park in order to buy day tickets for the others, is that correct? Also on the first day do you have to pay your parking or do they know you have annual pass awaiting collection?

        Thanks again, advice like yours is priceless for us novices!

        Ian

  34. Hi there, We’re a family of 5 going to DLP 4 – 8 June. I was looking to buy AP for us all but when looking into this, I’ve obviously left it too late! Do you have advice? If i did the day pass and sign up when i get into the park, we won’t have access for the 2nd and 3rd day is that correct? Thanks in advance.

    • Hi Kelly,

      If you are buying the lowest value Annual Pass (Discovery Pass) then you would be blocked out on days 2 & 3. If you choose the next level passes such as Magic FPlus, Flex or Infinity then day 2 & 3 is not blockout.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  35. Hey,

    We’re family of 4 visiting DLP on June 1-June 4.

    We’re not sure where we’ll be staying yet, but most likely Newport Bay.

    We’re considering AP Magic Plus (since most likely returning in under a year).

    The process of getting an AP seems quite complicated and I have a few questions, I hope you can answer 🙂

    – We’re arriving quite late first day (around 7pm) so buying 1 day ticket first day and converting to AP seems to be out of the question (since AP office is closed by then). Are there alternatives besides waiting until morning next day?

    – Since we’ll be buying APs upon arrival, is it still possible to get the AP discount on hotel bookings (through intent only).

    – If not possible to get APs on first day on arrival and having to wait until morning next day when office is open, is it still possible to do the extra magic hours?

    Thanks in advance.

    Henrik

    • Hi Henrik,

      You don’t have to wait until arrival to buy Annual Passes as you can apply by phone or post. If you apply by phone they will send you out a temporary pass which gets you entry into the park so you can go to the AP office to activate on your first day & your 12 months validity will start from that date. This would also allow you to book an Annual Pass discount on hotel rooms (booking over the phone only & subject to availability).

      If you are staying onsite then you will also be given a “Hotel Easy Pass” this allows you to make use of EMH alongside your AP ticket.

      You can also buy an Annual Pass by post (fully activated, so you wouldn’t need to go to the AP Office at all) but this can take a few weeks to do so I wouldn’t advise doing it this way just incase there are any delays with mail services etc.

      Give the Annual Pass office a call on 08448 008 898 & they will give you full instructions on how to buy a pass over the phone & have the temporary passes sent out to you. They will also tell you the closing hours of the AP Office for your dates (It remains open later occasionally depending on park hours) so you may be able to exchange on your first night although probably not. If not you will still have access to Disney Village on your first night & then the following morning you can access the parks for Extra Magic Time & exchange your temporary pass for a full pass at the AP office.

      I hope that helps

      • Thanks so much for your reply.

        We’re from Denmark so tried calling our local number and was redirected to the main booking center. They could not issue a temp email AP by phone but were willing to post one. Not enough time for that unfortunately 🙂

        I got the direct number to the AP office and will try to give them a call tomorrow and see if we have more luck.

        The lady on the phone told us we could also buy an AP directly at the gates…

        Anyway, thanks so much for your reply and help.

        • Hi Henrik,

          Hopefully the AP office are more helpful. You can buy the passes when you get there of course but you may have to wait until the day after your arrival if the office is closed.

          My advice would be to arrive around 7pm & spend the evening in Disney Village, perhaps you could get tickets to Buffalo Bills Wild West show? You could also have a nice meal in one if the restaurants (Cafe Mickey has a character meal with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto & more)or just browse the shops & have a drink or cocktail in Sports Bar or the Saloon. Then next morning get up bright and early for extra magic hours & go buy an Annual Pass

          Kind Regards
          Billy.

  36. Thanks Billy, really helpful.

    Unfortunately there are only 4 of us from the same address so can’t get the extra discount.

    With the infinity pass day tickets, can I get two tickets on the same day?? One set of grandparents will only go two days so if I can get two tickets on two days (would be 4 in the week) I can then get an infinity and get their tickets.

    And with the extra tickets I could buy, can I book them in advance or do you have to do it on the day??

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Ian

    • Hi Ian,

      Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can purchase 2 on any given day, the only restriction is the 5 per week so your plan works fine. You can’t buy these in advance, only at the gates on each day. Each person who has an Infinity Pass will have the ability to purchase guest tickets too.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  37. Hi
    I’m visiting DLP in August and am part of a family plan with multi day tickets.
    Would I still be able to buy an annual pass in the park without having bought a one day ticket as I have not seen many people do this.
    Other people are paying for my stay in August so I was wanting to just get an annual pass for the next time I visit.
    Many thanks,
    Mimi

    • Hi Mimi,

      Sure you can do this even though you already have tickets although it would be best doing it next time you arrive so you get a full 12 months for your AP. You can buy an Annual Pass at the Annual Pass office which is inside the parks. The reason people buy a 1 day ticket is so that they can enter the parks to get to the AP office!

      Kind regards
      Billy

  38. Hi,

    I am visiting in July with my extended family. I plan to get annual passes for me, the wife & kids. But we also have grandparents with us who may go 2 or 3 times in the week we are there. If I get an infinity pass for myself, can I then buy cheaper day tickets for the others?? If I can am I limited as to how many I can buy per day / week?? And if we can what’s the discounted cost of the day tickets if you have an infinity pass??

    As you can tell I’m a newbie to Disney and trying to do things in a cost effective manner which I know isn’t the Disney way!!!

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Ian

    • Hi Ian,

      How many kids do you have? Reason i ask is that if you are a family of 5 staying at the same residence then you all get a 20% discount on the Annual Passes.

      That aside, an Infinity pass can purchase guest tickets at a reduced cost of €35 per ticket. You are restricted to 5 per week & 20 per year. After these are exhausted you can still get 20% off day tickets although day tickets on the day are around €80-€90 before discount.

      Hopefully that helps but if you need more answers then feel free to ask.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  39. Hi Billy
    We are 2 families of 4 (children 7,8,8,10) traveling to dlp from 24th to 28th of may. Should we buy magic flex annual passes for all, or is there a cheaper combibation ( annual passes, multyday tickets etc)
    Thanks in advavce

    • Hi Eirini,

      That looks the cheapest option. discovery passes would be blocked out for 3 of your days so Magic Flex is best. You could try and find a sponsor for you all, this would get each of you 10% discount. I assume you are spending all 5 days at DLP? If you are only spending 4 days then you could save a little bit by buying 4-day tickets for the kids. They are on sale now in many outlets at around €144 per child with a few discount vouchers for dining places whilst there.. The adults would be still be better with the Annual Pass & also for the additional benefits & discounts they bring.

      Have a great time!
      Billy

  40. Thank you Billy, I managed eventually to speak to someone from the central AP queries and they have said they will cancel the tickets and reissue them and hopefully we should get them within 2 weeks or I have to ring again. Fingers crossed.

    • Hi tracey,

      That’s great news! Fingers crossed they arrive soon as I can imagine it’s a bit of a worry!! Disney will sort it out for you 🙂

      Have a magical time

      Billy

  41. Hi -HELP NEEDED – I posted on here recently as we are 3 x families who sent off for annual photo passes recently. 2 of the families have received their photo annual passes back and one family haven’t. I tried ringing the generic number given on here by Billy and was passed from pillar to post and was not able to speak to anyone at the office we sent the forms to and I notice that you are now not able to print the forms off.

    Could someone please please give me a direct telephone number to speak to someone where you were able to apply for the photo annual passes as the money has been taken and we don’t have the passes.

    Thank you

    • Hi Tracey,

      That’s not good at all! You can try the other numbers I will list below but they should really be able to help you at the AP office, it may be that you have just been handled by an inexperienced advisor.

      Info hotline for UK residents: 08448 008 111 (Call cost 5p/min from a BT landline, other networks may vary.)
      Central AP queries : +33 160306069
      Central Information : +33 160306030

      The Central information hotline is also the number which will deal with complaints & many other queries so they should have all the answers you need or at least put you through to someone who has the answers. You could also try emailing them in the meantime on [email protected] to see if they can help.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  42. Hey guys, please help me understand this 🙂

    We are going to disneyland paris on 22nd may for a few days and we want to take out an annual pass for each of us.

    We want to use the pay monthly option.

    Is it best to do this at the park ?
    Is it still ok to buy a one day ticket in advance ?
    Will i need to pay anything else up front once i get my annual pass?
    I can send the forms to complete this on 27th April if by post, will this be enough time to receive my annual pass?

    thanks in advance 🙂

    Joseph

    • Hi Joseph,

      I wouldn’t risk doin the passes by post at this late stage as times vary on them being sent back depending on amount of passes they need to complete.

      You can buy a 1 day ticket in advance but it MUST have the price clearly stated on it so that the Cast Member issuing your pass knows how much you paid & therefor how much to deduct from the cost of your annual pass. The cost of the day ticket will be taken as deposit for your Annual Pass & there is no more to pay at that time until the following months payment. Best to do it when you get there & take your photo id plus your bank details including IBAN number. Its a simple process.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  43. Hi we are visiting in our motorhome and want to stay 3 nights and go in the park for 3 full days .
    Would the annual ticket be the best buy for us.
    3 adults
    Arriving on the 6th April.

    Can you advise us please it’s our first visit by motorhome.

    Could you email me suggestions.

  44. Hi – I wonder if someone can Help? We are 3 families who are booked to stay at the Explorer Hotel in May. We have all sent for the photo park tickets so we can go straight into the park when we arrive. One of the families sent for their tickets 3 weeks ago and they haven’t arrived. The money is showing on the credit card and the other parties have all received their photo passes. Who can we contact about this yo see where the tickets are?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Tracey x

    • Hi Tracey,

      Call the Annual Passeport office in Disneyland Paris directly using the phone number 08448 008 898. 3 weeks isn’t a huge amount of time as it depends on how many applications they are dealing with at any given time of the year. Sometimes waits can be up to 12 weeks for postal passes. A quick call to the office will put your mind at ease though & they should be able to tell you more. They usually take the payment from the bank on the day they complete processing the Annual Pass & then of course it would be posted within a day or 2 of that date.

      Kind regards
      Billy

      • Thank you Billy – I will call the number as the money was taken 2 weeks ago and everyone else who ordered them has received them ages ago – I fear they have got lost in the post!

  45. Hi, I’m heading to dlp next week for 4 days, planning on buying magic flex pass. Can you tell me if this can be used for all 4 days after I purchase it at the park?

    • Hi Shannen,

      As long as you are buying on or after 2nd April then your pass will be valid for all days in April.

      Kind Regards
      Billy.

  46. Hi i am looking at taking my family the end of oct 2018 for 3 nights 4 days and dont know how to get it cheap do i buy annual passes etc etc . My children are 16 4 and 2 also taking hubby plz help . Im looking at booking eurostar separate

    • Hi Sharon,

      What dates specifically if you know? Mon-Fri is cheapest(& least busy). Also will the 2 yr old turn 3 before you go? Lastly are you looking to stay onsite or just get the best value?

      Kind regards.
      Billy

  47. Hi Billy

    I am looking to buy two magic plus annual passes. I notice online that Supertrips is cheaper. We arrive at Disney on the 8th April. I would like the year that this pass will be valid for to begin from this date. If we buy it online, will the period of validity begin from the day that we buy it, rather than the day we enter the park. Is this the case if we buy it from the official Disney website and from the Supertrips website?

    • Hi Kieran,

      If you buy from Supertrips they will email you a temporary pass. You print this out & scan it at the entrance to the parks to get in. On the same day you then go to the AP office & exchange this for a full Annual Pass. The pass starts on that day & valid for 12 months.

      Buying direct from Disney the pass will either start immediately or on your 1st day in the park depending on how you buy it.

      Hope that helps!

      Billy

    • Hi Derek,

      The sponsorship has now changed. If you recommend 3 new passholders you now only get a 6 month extension on to your current pass.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • thank you , can you also get another 6 month for renewing making it 12 month? otherwise there is no point recommending anyone thanks again for your reply it is so confusing

        • Hi Derek,

          For this wuestion it would be best to contact the Annual Passport office. I do know that under the old scheme you could only sponsor 3 people for 12 months & then you were unable to sponsor anyone after that (or rather, you wouldnt get additional time on top of the 12months regardless of how many you sponsored.

          Kind regards
          Billy

  48. With the annual passholder discounts on Disney hotels, do I have to book directly through the Disneyland Paris website to get the discount? Or can I book elsewhere and still get the discount?

  49. Hello

    I have a infinity pass at DLP and as I will be in Florida in April , I’m wondering if i can have a discount off of park tickets for Disney World Florida?
    Thanks

    • Hi Julien,

      Unfortunately not at the moment. As DLP & WDW were 2 very different companies they never crossed deals with each other. It may happen in the near future now that the Walt Disney Company have taken over control of DLP but as of yet they have no crossover deals.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  50. Hi

    I wonder if you can point me in choosing the best option in purchasing the infinity passes,
    Me, wife and 2yr old are looking to be going a few times in a year and think the infinity passes are the way to go.
    But what would be my best choice to get these.
    Purchasing a holiday package at some point and then get the passes once there?
    Purchase the tickets in advance and use the discounts for hotels? How much discount would I get with the pass on hotels?
    When booking hotels In the future have i read right on the site, to only book 1 adult and 1 child and pay taxes for the 2nd?

    Thanks
    Aron

    • Hi Aron,

      You would get up to 50% discount on the hotels but it is entirely dependant on availability & which dates/hotel you choose. These prices can only be given by calling Disneyland Paris booking office direct for a quote. The other option is to book a package deal for just your wife with the kids under 7 stay/play free deal onsite. You would then just need to purchase 1 infinity pass for yourself as your wife would get park tickets with her package. Your infinity pass would give discounts on all of your meals (up to 6 people at restaurants) & also on merchandise in shops by showing your pass. You would also just need one pass for free parking, pushchair rental, guest storage etc. You would only need to pay €1 or €2 per night room tax for yourself to be added on to the booking.

      It is difficult to tell which is best as you would need to call the booking line, get a quote for dates you know you wish to travel & then compare against the cost of a 1 person (free child) package staying onsite.

      Many people who have infinity passes choose to stay offsite in partner hotels such as Kyriad, B&B or Magic Circus which can have very affordable rates. this would need both you & your wife to have Annual PAsses (and your child when they turn 3).

      Any further help just ask here.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Hi billy
        I’m looking to buy an infinity annual pass .i had annual pass a few years ago . I’m in Ireland I wounder if I can pay try bank
        Also we’re staying on site
        7 people 2 year old 3 year old 10 year old 2 18 year olds myself and herself
        Any info welcome THANKS

        • Hi Jason,

          sorry for the late reply. If you are staying onsite then you can just buy when you are there of course as you will have park tickets with your package. You can now pay monthly for your annual pass using your banks direct debit. You would just need to take your bank details (including IBAN number) plus passport with you to the annual pass office when you purchase your pass. The initial deposit is just €55 followed by monthly instalments of €32 per month for the rest of the year your pass is valid.

          Kind regards
          Billy

  51. Hi
    we are a family of 6 planning a trip to Disney Paris June /early July for 6 days. We are looking to buy Discovery Annual Pass with 20% discount for large family. My question is which is the easiest method to buy these tickets. This will be our only visit to Disney and want to avoid the 2nd and 3rd day blackout. I am aware of the blackout day on 30th june which I am ok with but I need to avoid the Blackout day on day 2 and 3. we are staying off site. All advise very welcome

    • Hi Breda,

      Of course the easiest way is to buy when you arrive but this won’t be good as you know you miss day 2 & 3. I have heard from people being able to buy in advance using the family discount but I have also heard others being told they couldn’t do it this way as the CMs need proof on the day of family relationships & address.

      When you download the Annual Pass order form it does state the family discount so your best bet would be to download that, fill in all your details (there’s only room for 2 peoples info but you fill the other members details on separate plain paper) & then send along with it any evidence you have of family relationship & also proof of address for family members. This should be ok for you to claim the family discount.

      Kind regards
      Billy

  52. Hi im going to DLP in may with my 2 girls age 7 and 8, i was thinking of getting the Magic plus and get 2 discovery passes for my girls, do the discounts apply for restaurants, shops and buffalo bill show for the 3 of us?? I’m ordering the passes by post and was wondering will the girls discovery passes be activated on the day that we arrive or do we still have to wait 2 days??

    • Hi Jenny,

      If you are applying by post & attaching photo id for the passes & payment also then they will be fully activated on the date they send them to you. The discovery passes have very few discounts but if you use the Magic Plus pass when paying for merchandise, BBWWS tickets & in restaurants then the discounts will be applied for all of you. Prices are rising on March 21st by €10 per Discovery Pass & €10 per Magic Plus so you may want to order before this time!

      Kind regards
      Billy

  53. Hi there,
    I have a problem. I am calling from Greece the DLP using the number they give on the official site which is : +33160306053 The problem is that I want to talk with an employee in order to ask some questions regarding the annual passes BUT there is only a recording tape that says the usual things! So the help I need is the phone num to call from Greece in order to SPEAK with someone responsible. Thank you in advance.

    • Hi Kleanthis,
      If you go to the official Disneyland Paris website & begin to create a mock booking you will get a ‘request a callback’ button appear at some stage. Use this & input your own number & someone from DisneylandParis will call you back at a time of your choosing

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  54. Hi, I am looking at getting 4 discovery passes (2 adults and 2 children). I am wanting to get the 40 euro car parking option so I can park my campervan. Would each member have to pay for the parking option or just myself as the driver. Also I understand that capervan parking costs 10 euros per day with the parking option. Is this correct? Many thanks.

    • Hi Ben,

      I’m going to be honest with you in that i do not have an answer for you. I have tried to look through the parking rules, camper rules & annual pass rules & i cannot come to a conclusion which i would be comfortable is 100% accurate. It ‘looks’ as though it would be just yourself needing to pay the €40 add-on with the annual pass & then €10 per day supplement for using the camper area. Note that its per day & not per night.

      To clarify i would suggest calling Disneyland Paris booking line & askingfor a definitive answer so there are no financial surprises on arrival!

      Sorry i couldn’t be more helpful & i would really appreciate if you could drop me an email with your findings. The booking number 08448008898.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  55. Thank you again Billy for your response. I have one final question regarding the park tickets.

    Is the only place you can buy the annual ticket with your photo on to allow instant access to the parks without having to queue before or after by sending to Disneyland in France and sending the relevant I’D.

    Thank you

  56. Thank you once again Billy – next questions!

    Am I correct in thinking that if we want the tickets so we can go straight into the park without having to queue before or afterwards for the photo I’D the only place I can get them is by post?

    Do we apply for the annual photo pass at the same time?

    I have read somewhere about one person buying an annual pass and then they can sponsor someone else. Could you explain how that works please.

    I appreciate all your responses Billy, thank you.

    • Hi Tracey,

      Sorry I did see you ask these before but I forgot to get back to you!

      Yes, if you want fully activated passes then this needs to be done in advance via mail.

      You can buy the annual photpass in the following shops: Disneyland Park: New Century Notions, Flora’s Unique Shop, Strollers, Constellations, Star Command Photographers, Meet Mickey Mouse, Princess Pavillon, Le Coffre du Capitaine and Light Speed Photography- Walt Disney Studios Park: Walt Disney Studios Store, Legends of Hollywood, Rock around the Shop, Tower Hotel Gifts – Disney Village: World of Disney, World of Toys –Disney Hotels: All shops (list may change without notice). The Annual PhotoPass + is free for Annual Pass infinity holders, and available in the above shops. you can book it as an addon with your hotel package also by calling the booking line.

      Yes the sponsorship of Annual Passes can be very good if able to do. If you know someone who already has an Annual Pass you can meet up with them at the AP@ office when purchasing your pass. They “sponsor” you & you are given 10% discount off the cost. The person doing the sponsoring will receive an extra 6 months added on to their pass when they sponsor 3 people. However, there are restrictions. You need to have held your Annual Pass for at least 30 days before you can sponsor someone & that person must not have held an Annual Pass in the previous 2 years.

      Kind regards

  57. Hi. Looking at buyoing 6 annual passes – aiming to go for a few days at Easter and in the Summer holidays then hopefully again in either Oct half term or feb half term. How far in advance can I buy them? Obviously want to get the maximum validity out of them! Thanks

    • Hi,

      You can phone Disneyland Paris AP office (or use a trusted seller such as Supertrips) to buy an Annual Pass over the phone within 6 months of your first visit. They will send you out a temporary pass which you print off & then take into the parks to exchange for the full pass on your first visit. The passes would be activated on this day too so would run from 12 months of your first visit in the parks. So you could buy them now, have a temporary pass sent out & then they would be activated in Easter when you arrive & be valid until next Easter. Alternatively you can just buy them in the parks on your first day & either pay in full or spread the cost of the passes using the new Monthly Payment scheme so that you aren’t paying a large amount initially!

      I hope that helps
      Kind regards
      Billy

    I appreciate all your responses Billy, thank you.

  59. Thank you Billy for your reply – I will now give some thought to which tickets to get. Can I ask

    1 – we want to get our tickets before we go, am I right in thinking if we have our tickets with the photo ID all done before we go we will be able to get off the Eurostar and go straight into the park?

    2 – If we get our tickets now but not use them until 27th May the year will run from that date?

    3 – what is an annual photo pass?

    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have it right in my head before we go as it is something we have been thinking about for ages and I want it to go as smoothly as possible.

    Tracey

    • Hi Tracey,

      1. Yes, if you have purchased via post fully activated passes then you can just go straight in on arrival.
      2. If you apply by post & get full tickets before you go then they will be activated from the date Disney send them to you. If you are buying in advance over the phone or online (either from Disney or ticket sellers such as Supertrips) then you would be sent a temporary pass which you exchange pass for a full annual pass on day one of your visit. This would then run from the date of your 1st visit.
      3. Photopass costs approximately €59.99. For ordinary visitors it lasts 10 days but for Annual Pass holders it runs for the entire year of your pass. This basically gives you digital downloads of all your photos whilst at the park which are taken by Disneyland Paris photographers and also all ride photos. A single ride photo can cost around €10-€15 each bought separately. There are usually Disney photgraphers at all character meet & greets & special locations throughout the park such as on main street & in front of the castle. The photos are professional & high quality. You can view & download them at home for printing or using on social media.

      Ready for your next questions Tracey & don’t worry about how many questions you ask. That’s exactly the right thing to do!

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  60. I have lots of questions regarding the annual passes but will ask one at a time! We are a party of 2 adults/2 adults + 2 children/1 adult going in May (a party of 3 lots in 1 group). If 1 person in our group buys a Magic Plus Pass would everyone in our group be able to get early entry to the park/20% discount off Buffalo Bill tickets/free drink in the restaurant? Or would we need to buy 1 Magic Plus Pass PER party ie 3 for our group.

    Many thanks

    Tracey

    • Hi Tracey,

      Only the Magic Plus holder will gain early entry (unless you are staying onsite) & also only they would get the free drink in the restaurant. One Magic Plus holder can buy up to 5 discounted Buffalo Bills tickets. The Magic Plus holder would also be able to get discount at restaurants for up to 6 people as long as they are the ones who say they are paying the bill (you can sort out who pays what between yourselves). Same goes with merchandise….. as long as the AP holder hands over the goods at the till with their pass then everyone in your party could receive the discount.

      Ready for your next questions 🙂

      Kind regards
      Billy

  61. hi! im looking to buy infinity pass! i know there is a entrance for infinity pass and magic plus pass holders (its just one of the exits) but can we get tickets there for 2 people who are with us? or do we have to wait in line for regular ticket office to get discounted tickets for people with us?

    • Hi James,

      You need to purchase the tickets at the main ticket booths with your friends. Once you have the tickets you can all use the reserved entrance for infinty pass holders!

      Kind regards
      Billy

  62. hi we are a family of 6 visiting 23to29 march(7 days in park)and looking at AP as we staying outside disney hotels.we wanted to do the discovery but the 2nd and 3rd day blackout wouldnt work(and possibly to late to order online) so next we thinking magic flex would it be 189×6 with 20% off. asking as it says a surcharge of think 55 and with 6 people it adds up.
    thanks for any help

      • Hi Thomas,

        Yes there is no “surcharge”. The €55 is for the deposit if you were planning on paying monthly. This comes off the cost of the pass with the remaining balance paid in monthly instalments. You will get 20% off if all your family are staying at the same address. You may want to look at one of you purchasing the infinity pass which would allow you all to receive the highest discount on shop discounts, restauarant discounts & an annual photopass which you could all use.

        Kind Regards
        Billy

  63. We will be going to Disneyland Paris on Friday. We are planning to buy one Magic Plus annual pass for me but wanted to know if I can use the family and friends €39 tickets straight away

      I was about to say no as you never used to be able to buy them on the same day as you activate your Annual Pass however it appears that may well have changed as the Terms very recently as the official site now says :

      – €39 discounted tickets – Privilege 1 day /2 Parks Ticket (unique price for adult and children), valid on the day of the visit, sold at the Disney ® Parks on-site ticket offices, within the limit of 5 tickets per week per Annual Pass Holder and up to a maximum of 10 tickets over the period of validity for the Magic Plus Pass and up to 20 tickets over the validity period for Infinity Pass holders. Tickets are valid only on the validity days of the Annual Pass.

      So it appears that yes you can. You could get your annual pass and then return to the gates to purchase discounted tickets for family/friends of up to 5 per week at a cost of €39 and up to 10 tickets over the course of the year. After that you would be referred to the normal 1-day discount on the gate price with a reduction of 20% per ticket as detailed below.

      — 1 day park tickets — Discount on 1 Day tickets purchased at the Disney ® Parks on-site ticket offers (maximum of 5 tickets per day per Annual Pass Holder). Not combinable with other offers or discounts.

      I hope that helps. Any questions please feel free to ask!

      Kind Regards

    • Great news Niamh & happy to help! I hope you have a great time & say Hi to Mickey from me! It should be fairly quiet last week in January so a lot of rides will be walk on. We would love you to add a hotel review to our site (good or bad) on your return.

      Have a magical stay!

      Billy

  64. If I purchase the passes at Disneyland Paris. Can I set up monthly payments there or I I need to do that beforehand? Also if I book the magic plus can I use straight away.

    Many thanks

    Sam

    • Hi Sam,

      Yes just take your passport & bank detail with you to set up a direct debit while in the AP office. You will need your banks IBAN number too. The Magic Plus can be used straight away.

      Kind Regards

  65. Hi this site is incredibly informative – thank you!
    I have a Qs about AP pls – myself and daughter are going from 23-26 jan. regular tickets will be €406 but discovery ap pass significantly less. Is there any work around the 2nd and 3rd day blockout? Is this on the discovery pass only? Should I go to the next level pass?
    Many thanks!

    • Hi Niamh,

      There are 2 workarounds around the 2nd & 3rd day blockout.

      1. Staying in an onsite hotel cancels blockouts
      2. Buying discovery pass in advance can activate the passes before you arrive & therefor negate the 2nd & 3rd day.

      Buying in advance can take 8 or more weeks & needs done by post so it may be too late to attempt that I’m afraid. I’m assuming you aren’t staying onsite? If not then you will need a higher level pass. You could find a sponsor which could save 10% though or pay monthly is available if you want to lessen the initial cost?

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • thanks so much Billy, this is great. no we aren’t staying onsite. I was looking at sequoia lodge with half board and €100 to spend and went to book yesterday and realised the offer expired! so I was having to pay almost double for same deal with no €100 to spend 🙁
        I had my eye on explorers – just seeing that the pool is closed though which wont suit my 7 year old so was looking at Vienna dream castle and magic circus and the Radisson. would you have a preference between those? a fun pool would be great – we stayed in davy crocketts last year and the pool made the stay.
        I think I will go for the second level AP – would you recommend buying by phoning up now or waiting till we arrive there? I think I will take the monthly option, great idea thank you.

        • Hi Niamh,

          If it’s any use to you then the French site has a good offer on at the moment which would give you a stay at the Sequioa for 23-26 Jan for 1 adult/1 7 yr old at a price of just €450. That is 40% off with park tickets included. All onsite stays are now room only of course so no free breakfast anymore but it may well be cheaper than buying Annual Passes & an offsite hotel plus you would be staying onsite in a hotel you like which is always extra magical.
          It’s a shame you missed the recent offer as it is one of the best deals I have seen on Disneyland Paris especially with the free half board & €100 cashback. In fact we booked it ourselves a couple of weeks ago to go Feb 1st-4th.
          The Explorers hotel is great, especially for kids but no pool is a let down. The Dream Castle & Magic Circus are also great with our kids enjoying the Magic Circus best as they had their own personal TV beside their bunk beds & a curtain to draw on it too. It’s the little things I suppose ! We have never stayed at Radisson I’m afraid.

          If you are buying AP’s then you are best just to do when you arrive. Just purchase a 1 day 1 park ticket then go to the AP office & get your AP. They will deduct the cost you have paid for the day ticket & use it as your deposit.

          If you need any futher help then let me know

          Kind Regards
          Billy

          • Thanks Billy, I might try that offer, I guess you need to ring up and quote the French site offer? I wonder could you add on a meal plan – that might work out well…
            Been on this site the last 2 hours, it is so good, thank you!

          • Hi Niamh,

            Yes you need to call UK reservations & let them know you wish to use the French offer. There will be no problem this way. You can add on a meal plan too as you will be staying onsite!

            Kind Regards
            Billy

            p.s Thanks for the kind words, it’s still work in progress but it’s getting there!

  66. Hi,

    I am new to Disney so finding the whole annual pass or daily pass question extremely confusing! I’m visiting July next year (2018) with my wife, 2 children, plus the four grandparents. We are staying outside the park for a week, and intend to visit the park maybe 4 or 5 days during that time – there is also a chance we could go back in 2019 but nothing has been decided on that yet.

    As the grandparents have different surnames and don’t live at the same address I am guessing that I would not be able to benefit from the 20% discount for buying 5 or more passes is that correct?

    If I do buy annual passes is it worth me getting one of the Infinity passes that offers extra discount onsite, and also better parking? Would the fact we had one Infinity pass allow us to use that benefit even though it would just be one person with that type of pass?

    Also, I have seen a number of comments about getting the annual pass online through the French website – any reason you cant do it online in the UK (seems totally bonkers to me)? The other option of filling in a form (with all your card details onto a bit of paper) and posting it to them seems like the most insecure method I have ever heard of.

    I’m guessing it sounds tight!! But I just want to make sure that we get the best deal, and from what I have seen looking at the website Disney do not want you be able to work out what is best!

    Any thoughts, or tips would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Ian

    • Hi Ian,

      You would only be able to benefit from the family discount on 5 annual passes if :

      1. All 5 are related
      2. All 5 can prove the same address.

      One infinity pass is enough to get benefits for 1 car parking space. It is also able to get the benefit of meal discounts for up to 6 people. Assuming the 2 children are over 3 years old then you would need 2 infinity passes between the group if you are taking 2 cars & eating in the parks. As you are going for 4-5 days & possibly going again in 2019 then the cost of the Annual Passes will be worth it due to the savings you will achieve on meals/shopping/car parking/ guest storage/ stroller rental/ free drinks etc. Remember to check blockout dates (if any) for the dates you are thinking of travelling this year & get a rough idea of dates which may be blocked out next year.

      You can buy Annual Passes by calling the Annual Pass office & do it over the phone. The online system has always been quite poor for Disneyland Paris. Now that Disney has taken over ownership of the park this year we expect things such as this to improve. You can also purchase Annual Passes when you arrive on your first day in the parks. The 3rd method is to buy from a trusted reseller such as Supertrips who will often have discounts on tickets. They send you out a temporary pass which you exchange on your first day for full passes.

      p.s It’s not tight at all…… the more money you save on tickets then the more you can spend on the nice stuff like good meals, shopping & treats for the kids (&big kids!!)

      Any other info you need then feel free to reply

      Kind Regards

  67. Hi Billy,
    We’re coming from the US to France 9-21 Aug 2018 (myself, wife, and children ages 20, 10, 7, 4, 2). We were thinking of going to DLP for 2-3 days while we’re there. Any tips on how to get the best deal. If only two days is it better to buy magic passes, buy AP for just one of us and the 39E tickets, or AP for everyone? And does the equation change if we decide on three days? Also the 20 yo lives at a different address than the rest of us. Thanks,
    Ken

    • Hi Ken,

      There are a few variables which can affect the decision on what to purchase. A couple of things to note first.

      1. The 2 year old does not require tickets at any time as under 3’s go free.
      2. You can not buy discount tickets on the day you activate your Annual Pass
      3. The Discounted day tickets are restricted to 5 per week.

      As you are restricted on the number of discount day tickets you could purchase then it produces a bit of working out to find the cheapest. Depending on your plans, the cheapest way could be to buy 5 annual passes (you, wife plus 10,7,4 year old) to claim the 20% family discount & then your 20 year old buys a separate pass. If you are spending 2-3 days in a row then you would need Magic Plus, Flex or Infinity. If you are able to visit 1 day, then go back on day 4 & 5 then you could all purchase the Discovery pass which is much cheaper. The Discovery Pass has blockout dates on days 2 & 3 of purchase, hence the need to attend on day 1, 4 & 5.

      If you were definitely doing only 2 days then the cost of a 2-day park ticket is probably cheapest but I would still recommend 1 of you to purchase some form of Annual Pass so that the whole family can benefit from the discounts in shops, restaurants, guest storage etc.

      Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer but there are a few variables which affect it. Any further help just reply here & i’ll try help more.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thanks Billy. We were thinking of going with the discovery passes but I believe they are blocked out the month of August. It would be easy enough to stop by DLP on the way from CDG to Amboise where we’re staying our first night though we were hoping to surprise the kids with DLP at the end of the trip. If we buy discovery passes will they work in August? If so we may be back in France in the spring as well. Otherwise we will probably just buy tickets for two days.
        Ken

        • Hi Ken,

          Yes sorry, you are quite right….. unless you were staying onsite then the Discovery Pass would be blocked out in august. The Magic Flex is blocked out Aug 13th,14th & 15th. Plus & Infinity are fine. If you were staying onsite then no blockout dates would apply although August may be expensive (even with an Annual Pass hotel discount). If you were planning on doing 2 visits in a calendar year then the Magic Flex/Plus/Infinity passes would definitely be worth the cost for your party. It may mean having to buy the 2 year old a pass on your 2nd visit if they were to turn 3 in that time.

          Otherwise yes, the 2 day option looks the cheapest way of doing this single trip with perhaps one of you buying a Magic Plus/Infinity pass to receive discounts in shops, restaurants, parking, stroller rental & guest storage etc. You will know yourself if these discounts would amount to the difference in the cost of a 2 day ticket depending on whether these benefits are of use to you on your 2 day visit.

          It’s just a question of your groups spending habits whilst there & which Pass benefits you would likely use as to whether getting an Annual Pass is worth it.

          Kind regards
          Billy

  68. We have the annual fantasy passport. We are travelling next weekend for 5 days. We are bring the grandparents with us. They would probably go into disneyland 2 or 3 times as we plan on going into Paris one of the days. Was wondering do we get a discount when buying their tickets with the annual fantasy passport. Or would be be cheaper or better to get the cheap €139 passport which means they can’t go on the 2nd and 3rd days. Thanking you for your help

    • Hi Derek,

      I’m going to have to be honest in that I can’t actually remember now if Fantasy got discount. I seem to have a figure of 10% discount on day tickets discounted from the gate ticket price which is quite high (around €90 per day). If your grandparents are going in for more than one day then it will definitely be cheaper to get the Discovery Pass. They would get a 10% discount on the Annual Passes if you sponsor them making them only €125 each. Even buying a 2day ticket in advance from somewhere like attractiontix will cost around €120-€130.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thanks Billy.
        Just rang the annual passport office and they confirmed yes you can get 10% off the annual passport but also I can get 6 months extra on my passport for sponsoring them? Hard to believe but I’ll check next week.
        Thanks again
        Regards Derek

        • Hi Derek

          Yes if you sponsor 3 people you getan extra 6 months for yourself and they each get 10% discount. It used to be 12 months free until the new passes came in. Its a great deal if you an find 3 people buying an Annual Pass.

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  69. Hiya
    we are coming to the park on 23rd October and my wife is buying an magic plus annual pass whilst we are there on a monthly payment scheme. My question is once she has purchased the pass from within the park can she come back out and get me a day pass using her bring a friend for 39£ offer

  70. Hi, my daughter has got an annual pass, so we normally get 50% off hotel anyway, my question is, they currently have an offer for 25% off and free half board, would she still be entitled to free half and the additional 25% off the hotel. I think she wouldn’t be allowed to do this and that she would have to choice between using her annual pass discount of using the offer only. Do you know if your allowed to use your annual pass hotel discount as well as the current offer of 25% off and free half board.

    Thank you

    • Hi Jess,

      Sorry, offers cant be combined. You have to choose which offer is cheapest at the time you wish to go. Occasionally the AP discount is not as good as the special offers on.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  71. Hi, we are looking to get buy monthly passports. Do we have to do this before we go or can we do when we are there? If we do it before we go, what do we do?

    • Hi Laura,
      You can do this on arrival. Simply buy a 1 day ticket on the gate & on that day you can go to the Annual Pass office to upgrade this ticket to an Annual Pass. The cost of your day ticket will be taken away from the cost of the Annual Pass.
      You will need photo id such as a passport plus a proof of address (recent bill etc) & details of your bank account for processing the direct debit such as sort code, account no. & iban number. Your Annual Pass will be active immediately. The process takes about 30 minutes.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thank you for the info. If we are to do it before we go, how do you go about sending the photo as on the Disneyland website it says they won’t accept any personal photos.

        • Hi Laura,

          Yes buying in advance will still require you to complete the application on the 1st day of your visit by going to the AP office to get your photo taken. You used to be able to buy in advance & send in your own photos but this process took anywhere from 2-8 weeks to complete & the passes validity started on the day the passes were processed not when you arrived, however since the new passes came into effect i haven’t heard of anyone being able to do it this way. You could call the AP office & ask but it can be a long process.

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  72. Hi,

    I am visiting DLP in July 2018. The party will consist of myself, wife, 2 children & 4 grandparents. We are staying off-site so I am wondering what is the most cost effective way to get tickets? We are planning on visiting either 4 or 5 days during our stay – and will be travelling by car so car parking would be a big advantage if one of the ticket groups includes this. I have seen about group discounts – and although we are a family of 8 – only 4 of us live at the same address as the grandparents each have their own house.

    I have been looking at annual passes and free days and all the other info, and in truth I am completely baffled as to which would be the most cost effective method for me!

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    • Hi Ian,

      I am currently on holiday in Disney World & so can only give a brief answer. You wouldn’t be able to get the family discount as you do need 5 residents at the same address. You could however find a ‘sponsor’ via one of the online forums such as ‘The Dibb’ or ‘Disboards’ which would get 10% reduction off every pass. July is high season so packages will be very expensive staying onsite. Offsite would probably be cheapest with Magic Flex passes for all. This would also get you free parking. The Explorers hotel have rooms which hold up to 10 guests (its actually 2 adjoining rooms with 3 seperate sleeping areas in a 4-4-2 configuration). Offsite stays would also include breakfast which can be expensive in Disney. It may be worth just one of your party buying an infinity pass which would give you VIP parking area & also extra discounts on shopping & meals in the parks as long as the infinity holder is the one who makes payment.

      You should also check ‘Supertrips.net’ as they occasionally offer discount Annual Passes. Sorry i cant be much further help but i only have limited mobile access here.

      Kind regards
      Billy

      • Billy,

        Many thanks, it all makes a lot of sense!

        I will look into getting a sponsor, and the idea of 1 infinity pass does make sense. Lots of the cheapest passes with one expensive one that gets some discounts and the good parking.

        Just wish I could move a grandparent in for a week just to get the 20% discount!

        Thanks

        Ian

  73. hello, I am in the US and planning to buy an annual pass through the online form. about how long will it take to be delivered? thank you so much. love your site!

    • Hi Phillip,

      I can’t give you a specific time for the USA but its usually 4-6 weeks here in Europe if you are buying from Disneyland Paris directly. The pass will be dated from the date the Pass leaves Paris & your year will start then.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  74. Your right sorry I think that was the price for just half board plus. Do you think we would be better off just paying for restaurants as we go with daughters annual pass discount rather than getting a half board premium meal plan?

    • Hi Jess,

      It will probably be a very close run thing as to which is cheaper & be roughly the same costs. The Meal plan would allow you to pay in advance which may seem easier to budget knowing in advance that the meals were paid for. If you know exactly where you are eating each day then you should be able to work out the exact cost of each day & which would be better value. If you are buying the half board premium then I would advise NOT to use a voucher for character breakfast & instead ask to upgrade your included breakfast and pay that out of pocket. You could then use your 3rd voucher for another high end evening meal in Auberge de Cendrillon, Inventions, Walts etc to get the very best value out of the meal plan.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  75. Hi, thanks for the quick response, okay I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say, we’re going for 3 nights, 4 days so a half board premium would cost us £248 for the both of us, would it work out cheaper doing this as we would like to eat with the princesses, go to inventions and have breakfast with characters in morning or would it still work out cheaper using daughter annual pass discount in those restaurants? Then getting breakfast in the hotel each morning too??
    Thank you for your help so far

    • Hi Jess,

      The cost of 1 adult & 1 child Half Board premium meal plan is coming up as £312 at todays prices on the DLP main website. Where did you see £248 for 3 nights? The current price is £62 pn per adult & £42 pn per child on Disneyland website.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  76. Hi, I brought my inifinity pass a couple of days ago on last trip, I’m looking to book my second trip, am I right in thinking that I can’t get a meal plan as I’ll be phoning up to get my discount on hotel. If so I would like to go eat lunch with the princesses for my daughters bjrthday, do I get any discount on this with my infinity annual pass if so how much?

    • Hi Jess,

      I haven’t been since the new passes came in to effect but you certainly could add on a meal plan with an Annual Pass room only booking last year, so i assume you still can. It must be booked in advance though & can’t be purchased on arrival. Call the AP office & they will be able to tell you if this is still an option on 08448 008 898 to clarify. If you are paying for the Princess lunch with your annual pass discount then you receive 15% discount. With an Annual pass discount it’s probably cheaper paying for each meal using the ap discount rather than purchasing a meal plan. You cannot get ap discount purchasing a meal plan.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thank you

        Do you know if I signed up 3 friends – would I still get 12 months added for free on my current annual pass?

        Also, sorry, if the people I sign up at the park by just the basic annual pass, they wouldn’t be able to use it on the next day (day 2) and the day after (day3)?

        Thanks a lot

        • Hi David

          I havent personally dont the sponsorship since the new passes were rolled out but i have heard from other sources that the free 12 months has been reduced to a free 6 months. I am still trying to verify this. As for the Discovery passes then yes, they would not gain entry on day 2 or 3.

          Kind RegardsBilly

  77. Hi
    Hoping for some advice please. We visited earlier at Halloween last year (2 adults, a then 7 year old and a two year old). We bought 3 annual passports, the names have changed but they were the ones valid for365 days.
    We are returning on 25-31 October, and our little daughter is now 3, so needs either a passport or tickets. These dates are in the blockout for all passes but the new infinity, which is €399.
    At present we have no plans to return within the next year, so I’m trying to work out the best value to cover our youngest’s entry costs. I see one of the benefits of passport holders is discounts on daily tickets, ( but I really don’t want to have to queue each day, our older girl has autism and this is very difficult for her).
    Can you please advise me the best value for our situation?
    Thank you

    Julie

        • Hi Julie,

          Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Only the Infinity Pass would get you past the blockout dates but costing around £350 & even with a 10% sponsorship discount that still comes in at a hefty £315.

          The cheapest I can see would be to buy tickets from sites such as Attractiontix or Travelrepublic etc which will get you a childs 4-day 2 park ticket for around £120-£129. If you need more days you would have to buy an extra 1 or 2 day ticket which is about £80-£90 for a 2 day ticket bringing the total up to about £200-£220 for 6 days entrance.

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  78. Hi – Brilliant site with loads of info, thank you!

    Reading through all of the comments above and after some advice.

    We (Me, my Wife, 5 y/o daughter and 2y/o daughter) will be visiting around 22nd December for 2 nights but will def be back throughout the year in 2018 so would think the AP would be ideal but I am not sure what is the best option… currently I see the following:

    1 – Buy 2 x Magic Plus and 1 x Infinity, obviously 2 y/o is free – is it allowed to have different levels of AP in the same family. There is a comment above which seems to say no but others say yes?
    2 – Hotels – do I look offsite or are the discounts with AP (especially infinity) give you a lot cheaper for essentially B&B at a disney hotel.
    3 – Do I need to consider the idea of adding an extra person to the room at check in to save some money?

    Too many options!!!!

    Any advice appreciated.

    Karl 🙂

    • Hi Karl,

      firstly, well done for researching first… a little planning can save a lot of money which can then be spent making it an even better trip! Is this your first trip?

      1 – You can buy different levels of pass but some of the privileges which come with Infinity would only be able to be used by that person. Privileges such as VIP seating during fireworks/parades etc. would be unavailable but You can still use the Infinity pass for full discount for everyone in shops, restaurants etc.
      2 – I can’t answer as to AP discount cost of staying onsite as these aren’t released & vary depending on hotel availability, season etc. You have to call the AP office for a quote & then compare. One thing to bear in mind is that it wouldn’t be B&B as all rooms would be ROOM ONLY if staying onsite using AP discount. Staying offsite gives B&B usually which can make the price difference quite substantial.
      3 – Again, you would need to do your own research on dates/prices but yes, a popular way when families have AP’s is to book a standard package with 1 adult in the room (if they have under 7s stay/play free then add them in too) & then see if this is cheaper than staying offsite. This would mean that the one adult booked into the package wouldn’t need an AP (same with the under 7’s) so you would actually only need to purchase 1 x infinity pass for the extra adult who would check in for €1 or so per night.

      So, that doesn’t sound like too much help really but it really is just a case of crunching numbers to get the best value. With 2 under 7s it may well be cheaper to just book a regular package with 1 Annual Pass for yourself & get added on to the room. But please bear in mind what I mentioned about breakfast as staying offsite may well represent greater value with the 3x APs. From past experience I can tell you that generally staying offsite with APs has beaten the AP discount for staying onsite unless there is an extra special AP offer on rooms during a specific date when you go which doesn’t happen too often.

      Any further help let me know

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thanks Billy

        This will be something like our 10th visit… we never thought of annual passes before but now the kids are getting older and living Disney more, it might make sense. Helps as we are in Kent so we are 45 mins from the EuroTunnel terminal then a fairly straight drive down to DLP.

        I will have a look at numbers but thinking staying offsite would be an idea, especially as you get VIP parking on the infinity pass, or I guess most nearby hotels offer a shuttle.

        In terms of point/question 3 – is the ability to add a person onto a room something you get with the AP or is it just something DLP allows in general? Would the extra person get breakfast?

        Thanks again for the help. Karl

        • Hi Karl,

          The nearby hotels all have shuttles which literally take 5 minutes & drop you off right at the station beside the parks & Disney Village. Anyone can be added to a room but they would need their own tickets or Annual Passes. The extra person wouldn’t get breakfast, but as I said, Disney have removed the free breakfast now on most hotel stays onsite even for packages unless there is a special offer of free half board etc. It used to be great value adding on a guest as they used to get a full buffet breakfast included for the €1 per night!

          Staying offsite I would look at the partner hotels which are all nice & very close by such as the Magic Circus, Dream Hotel & Explorers. On the same road you have the Kyriad & the B&B hotel which both offer amazingly good value. These 5 hotels all provide free shuttle service too or free parking if you would rather take the car.

          Also just to add that if you are buying Annual Passes & want to spread the cost then you can pay in monthly instalments now & spread the cost throughout the year so as not having a huge expense on your first visit.

          p.s i’m jealous you are in easy reach of the magic!

  79. Hello,
    I’d like to ask you – if I want to update my ticket into an annual pass Discovery (I will pay the price minus what I paid for the ticket), does it matter that it will be on the day when the pass doesn’t allow you free entrance? Because I know you can’t be there 2nd and 3rd day after, does it matter? It’s on somewhere 27th to 29th October. Thank you 🙂

    • Hi Tereza,

      You can purchase a Discovery Pass on a blockout date & have full access to the parks the 1st day even though it is a blockout. You then cannot access day 2 or 3.

      • And if I may ask – if i buy two tickets for two days, can they upgrade both tickets (I´ll pay the price of Discovery minus twice the ticket)?

        Or is it better to purchase the annual pass now before going? I don´t know how to do it online …
        Thank you so much again!

        • Hi Tereza

          No, only 1 day ticket can be upgraded. You can buy in advance by calling Disneyland Paris directly or using a trusted reseller such as Supertrips.net. They will ssend you a temporary pass which you take to the AP office on your first day to exchange for a full Annual Pass

          • So if I purchase it online, will I be able to use the pass 2nd day and 3rd day of my visit, when on th 1st day I go into the AP office?
            And if I purchase it via the web you mentioned, will it be valid or is it better to do it on DLP website?
            Thanks again!

          • Hi Tereza

            The only way you can buy a pass & have it valid on day 2 & 3 of your visit is if you purchase via post direct from Disney. This process can take 8-12 weeks to complete & would be dated from the day they sent you out your pass. Otherwise you would need a Magic Flex, plus or infinity pass.

            Kind Regards
            Billy

  80. Hi there, I have bought an ultimate annual pass over the phone and received a temporary pass which I need to activate the first time I visit the park, however, when I next visit the park I will be with someone who does not have an annual pass, is it possible to purchase the untimate extra park tickets with my temporary pass or will I have to go into the park to activate my full pass first?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrew

  81. Hello,
    if I buy ticket online and print it at home, can I “exchange” it for a ticket sized version of the ticket like everyone has? Is it better to buy it there or online? And the annual pass deduction – does it work with ticket bought online? Thank you!

    • Hi Tereza

      If you buy online you will be emailed a temporary pass which you printout. That gives you entry to the park where you then need to go to the Annual Pass office to get your full pass which will be the same as everyones (credit card size with your photo on it)

      You can buy in advance from Disney directly or from a reputable seller. Occasionally sites such as Supertrips.net have good discounts on Annual Passes. I’m not sure what annual pass deduction you are reffering to though? If it is the Family 20% discount then those need to be purchased inside the parks & not online

      KindRegards
      Billy

      • Thank you for such quick response!

        I´ve been to DLP once and I bought a ticket online – so I was pretty upset to see everyone with their small tickets and I was carrying around a big piece of paper … so can you exchange it somewhere?

        And for the annual pass – I found out you have to do it the day of my visit, not after, which sucks. So my question is what is better – to do it online, or buy online ticket and upgrade it in the centre, or buy the ticket there and then upgrade it (but the tickets there are more expensive, right?)

        Thank you again!

        • Hi Tereza

          If you buy a day ticket when you go, you will have the cost of the ticket removed from the cost of your Annual Pass. So if you buy a ticket at the entry gates for €50 then the €50 would be taken off the cost of your Annual Pass

          Regards
          Billy

          • Okey, good to know!
            And do you know if they have different prices online and in the park? I know that it doesnt make a difference for me, when I´ll buy the annual pass, but for my friend who´s coming too 🙂 Thanks

          • Hi Tereza

            If your friend is not buying an Annual Pass then they would be better buying online. Depending on which Annual Pass you are buying you will be able to buy them discounted daily tickets. For example, you can use an Infinity Annual Pass to purchase day tickets for friends/family for reduced cost of €35 per day (not on the 1st day of your Annual Pass)

            There are discounts such as 3 days for price of 2 days etc in many online websites too

            Regards
            Billy

    • Hi Stefan,

      If your kids are over 3 years old then they need entry tickets of some kind whether that is annual Passes or normal tickets is up to you. If you want the priveleges (VIP viewing areas, VIP entry etc) of an Inifinity Pass for your whole family then you will all need Infinity Passes. If you are not using the VIP areas etc then it may be worthwhile buying a cheaper pass such as Magic plus or Magic Flex for the kids but this depends on when you are going & blockout dates for these passes.

      Regards
      Billy

  82. Hi Billy,
    I’m a bit confused here regarding the A.P.
    We are going over to dlp for Christmas we aren’t staying in a Disneyland hotel. Was looking at the Infinity Pass. There is 5 people in our family, so reading your post above I don’t need to buy 5 infinity passes? How does that work?

    • hi Aili,

      If you are a family of 5 then you would still need 5 passes, however you would all receive 20% discount on your passes so in effect you would only be paying the price of 4 passes. Only one person in the group NEEDS to have an Annual Pass to be able to get the discount for all members of your party with regards to meals or merchandise etc. Park entry however requires you all to have some form of entry ticket or annual pass.

      Regards
      Billy

      • So I could buy four 4 day hopper passes and an annual pass would that cover us all? The magic hours would only apply to the ap tho, wouldn’t it.

        • Hi Aili,

          Yes, you could buy 1 Infinity Pass & just have day tickets for other members of your party. You are correct that the normal ticket holders would not get use of EMH or special viewing area priveleges which the Infinity Pass holder would receive.

          Many visitors do it this way as the one Annual Pass member can get discount for the whole party in Restaurants or in shops etc which can save a lot of money! The Infinity Pass holder would also be able to buy discounted day entry tickets (€35 per ticket) for other members of the party but please note you cannot buy these discounted tickets on the first day of Annual Pass membership!

          Regards
          Billy

  83. Hi, do you know where we stand with regards to renewing our annual passes? We currently have Dreams passes that expire on the 31st July with the old system I believe you could renew within a month after expiry, is this still the case? As we weren’t planning on renewing but are now holidaying in France but after the pass has expired and not enough time to renew by post before we go! Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    • Hi Haley

      Yes under the old system you could renew up to one month after your old pass expired. This also gave you 6 months extra onto your new pass. The only change i think they have made is that you now get only 4 months added by renewing up to 1 month after expiry. I don’t see anything to say any other rule has changed. You could call the AP office & double check. I also heard that up until November 2017 any AP renewals were to receive a €25 giftcard for changing from old AP to new AP so it would be worth asking for this too!!

      Kind regards
      Billy

  84. If you choose to pay a monthly option on the passes will you still get 20%discount on those passes for purchasing 5?

        • Hi David,

          You can now purchase any of the Disneyland Paris Annual Passes in monthly instalments. The cost varies dependant on level of Pass acquired.
          ◾Discovery Pass monthly payment option – €55 + €8 per month
          ◾Magic Flex Pass monthly payment option – €55 + €13 per month
          ◾Magic Plus Pass monthly payment option – €55 + €18 per month
          ◾Infinity Pass monthly payment option – €55 + €32 per month

          Now, I have never done this over the phone but it should be possible as it can be done by mail too. From what I gather though if you do it over the phone then the passes may be dated from the date of your first payment. This could be good news for you as it “may” mean that the Discovery passes would be possible for you & by the time you went then the 2nd & 3rd will already have passed as they would have been activated already. Give the Annual Pass hotline a call on 08448 008 898 & see what they say. It might just work out after all!

          Kind Regards
          Billy

  85. Hi, yeah that’s what I meant about meeting belle. Thanks for the tip I’ll be sure to do this when we get there she is belle obsessed.
    Won’t sure if you’ll know the answers as it’s not about annual pass’ well it kind of it is, my daughter wants to go for Halloween and really wants to go to Halloween party (we’re adults are allowed to dress up for the evening) does her annual pass include this event or does she need to but ticket separately, if separately does she get any kind of discount? Do I need to buy a ticket or go in free as her carer? Where would I buy the ticket?

    Thanks Jess

    • Hi Jess,

      Unfortunately as these passes are only a few months old, we are still in a learning curve with what can & can’t be done or offered. Even upon talking to Disney staff there is still confusion about what perks/discounts/offers etc are offered with each pass……… which makes it even more difficult for normal customers to find out the info!!

      The Halloween Party is not included in the Annual Passes & is a separate ticketed event but there “should” be a discount on tickets (was 30% in all previous years) for Infinity holders (going by previous years experience). the problem is that these can sell out fast so it is advisable to buy in advance. There are occasionally offers around the internet offering them at discounted rate. As for whether a Carer goes free I simply do not know. Common sense dictates that they should, however it doesn’t always prevail! You could give them a call though & they will tell you…… best to call twice & speak to 2 operators though to make sure they agree!

      Kind regards
      Billy

  86. I am visiting dlp in October with my family of 5 and thinking of purchasing the discovery AP but over the phone so I’ll have them bought by the end of this month but I’m not sure if we can use them for the 4 days we are there.? I read somewhere that they are not valid on and 3rd days of stay? Is this correct?

    • Hi David,

      That is correct, you cannot use them on Day2 or Day3 (or any blockout dates)……. unless you are staying in one of the onsite hotels on a room only basis, then you can enter using your hotel easy pass & AP combined. There are ways around this such as buying a Discovery Pass well in advance & having it activated by Disney when they send it out to you. This process can take up to 3 months though & would be risky to attempt for an October break.

      If your family of 5 all reside at the same address then you will qualify for the family discount of 20% reduction per pass, perhaps this could make the step up to Magic Flex more affordable & remove the 2nd & 3rd day blockout ?

      Let me know if you have further questions

      Kind regards
      Billy

  87. Hi, yeah we booked from magic breaks. We’re staying sequoia hotel. I didn’t think about doing it that way as didn’t really too much about the annual pass’s if I had known I would of probably done what you have suggested.
    Can we still use the VIP stuff when purchasing the annual pass even though we have normal tickets? I’m sorry for all the questions.
    My daughter can’t wait to go and get her infinity and can’t wait to go for Halloween.

    This isn’t about annual passes but may be a question you know the answer too. My daughter is obsessed with Belle, when we went to DLP in march this year she was in the art of animation (may have been called something else) where you could meet belle throughout the day. Will she still be there or do they switch over princesses after so long??

    • Hi Jess,

      You can use the AP discounts & perks even though you have normal tickets. As for Belle, I assume you mean at the Princess Pavilion where the Princesses do meet ‘n’ greets. There is a board outside the Pavilion entrance showing which Princesses are there that day and the times for each one. Speak to a Cast member at the pavilion & show your green card & you will be given a time to return instead of queueing. You could also ask at City Hall which princesses are on & perhaps a kind Cast Member will tell you about upcoming days too if you let her know of yoru daughters wants 🙂

      Kind regards
      Billy

  88. Also sorry forgot to put this in, we booked this trip on magicbreaks, so we got a deal for tickets, hotel and half board (which we upgraded to full board) , do they take any price away from annual price for these tickets or won’t they as they were brought as a deal, I don’t think they will but thought I’d asked. We’re going from the 18-22 September

    • Hi Jess,

      You get 365 days access as a carer with your daughter having an Infinity Pass. Your husband would be able to get discounted tickets using your daughters Infinity Pass discount allowing him to buy daily tickets at vastly reduced cost of €35 per day for a 2-park ticket. These can be purchased up to 20 times per year. Unfortunately you won’t get any discount from a package deal. If your husband is on the package deal though he will already have tickets (as will you) for this upcoming trip.

      Is your booking with Magic Breaks for an onsite hotel then I take it ?

      If so, and you intend on buying the Annual Pass this trip, you would have been much cheaper to book the package for your husband alone & simply added yourself & your daughter onto the room on arrival. You would miss out on the meals package for yourself & your daughter but you will see that the cost of the holiday would have been MASSIVELY reduced. You could then have paid for your meals once you were there & benefited from using the Annual Pass discount for yourself & your daughter whilst your husband used vouchers to pay his portion. The cost of adding people to a room would only have been €1 or so per night per person.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  89. Thank you that was a quick response. So if we get the infinity pass, I’m guessing that’s the one where we can access the park for the whole year? Will my daughter get any discount off her infinity annual pass, I’ve heard you can get 10% off.
    I’m just going through the process of claiming carers allowance as had to unfortunately give up work to look after her, so I should have the paper work by then. If worse comes to worse I don’t, do I just take my daughters pip forms and a GP letter stating her needs and she needs someone to be with her at all times?
    Thank you for the tip about the access card, I was going to say is there a way of stating it on her annual pass so we don’t have to dring documents every time. So she can still get their green access card to access rides from exit like we did last year and the same with shows. Think we got the green access card last time.
    Sorry for all the questions, I think this is the last one, I’ve read that infinity pass holders get VIP view of parade and illusions, as she will be listed as disabled but also has annual pass will I be able to go in the VIP area too?

    Thanks

    • Hi Jess,

      I haven’t been able to verify that the 10% discount is still available on the new annual passes but I would imagine that it still stands. Disney would have to verify this. The GP letter should suffice as long as it states your daughter needs a carer due to her disability. So, taking that along with her pip award letter should be sufficient. For the VIP areas you will be allowed access as her carer. Please note though that ONLY you & your daughter will be able to go to the VIP area. When you have a Green Card priority Disability Pass when you can have up to 4 people go on rides with your daughter(missing out the queue line) but this doesn’t apply to VIP areas, as I say, only you will be able to use this.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thank you so much for all your help, we will be defiantly be getting the infinity pass and I imagine it going to work out so much cheaper with the amount of times she wants to go this year.
        If my partner was to come along as well, would he pay a normal admission price or would he get some discount off the ticket?
        Does the infinity pass the halloweeen and new year, if so do I as her carer still have to pay the admission price or do I get in free again with her?

        Thank you so much for you help so far

    • Hi JessJust to follow up on this as I have new information regarding your query. It appears that you will not be able to use the VIP section as Disney Paris are being quite strict that ALL users must have an Infinity Pass. This rule may well change in the near future but so far access has been strictly for Infinity holders regardless of whether a Carer is needed. It’s quite surprising but there are still teething issues surrounding the new passes & perks offered. Of course, you will still be able to use the restricted area designated for those with Disabilities during parades/fireworks (upon showing your green card) if you speak to any Cast Member before the parade/show. This will ensure a desirable viewing area.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  90. Hi, I’m taking my daughter to DLP in september this year, when we normally go she gets an access card due to her disability, she getting more and more into Disney and already said that she would really love to go next year for Halloween, Christmas- new year and her birthday so I think the infinity pass would be best for us. As I’m her carer would I get a discounted annual pass or have to lay full price still?
    Also we normally book onlineI with Disney so we can get the meal plan, can you use the 15% off food for the meal plan? do you get anything off for eating with the princesses also.

    • Hi Jess,

      If your daughter buys an Infinity Pass then you would get FREE access every day you are there with her as her carer. You need some form of proof that you are her carer such as a letter stating so or a carers allowance letter etc. Just go to Donalds Desk each morning (sometimes they will give you free carers pass for the length of your current stay, if not then you have to go each morning).

      When you get the access pass you can let them know she is an annual pass holder & they usually give the access pass for the year rather than just the length of your stay.

      As for the Meal plans then you cannot get annual pass discount combined with a meal voucher. however, if the Bill is more than your meal voucher then I have heard of people getting discount on the cost above the meal voucher. This is not set in stone & depends entirely upon your server it seems. Lastly, YES you can get AP Discount at the Princess meals in Auberge de Cendrillon.

      Anything else, feel free to ask!

  91. Hi There,
    Me and all the members of my family do have a fantasy pass for Disney Paris. We are now planning to visit Disney world in Orlando Florida this summer. Do you think we could get a discount on the base tickets just because we do have a fantasy pass for Disneyland Paris? Looking forward to your reply

  92. hi there,myself and my sister are going to DISNEYLAND Paris in August 2017,we want to get the Disney infinity pass,just wanted to ask you can Irish residents get it by the monthly?and how di you apply for it?,…,..don’t mind if we can’t,I’ll still get it when we go over..we were only there in March of this year we stayed in the Explorers hotel,super hotel,…this time we’re staying at Disney B&B…thanks Jeanette Ireland ??

    • Hi Dan,

      No, they wouldn’t. Extra Magic Hours are restricted to certain Annual Pass holders & those staying at one of the Disney hotels onsite. If they were staying at one of the Disney onsite hotels (room only for example) & you purchased them daily tickets then this is the only way they could enter as you would have a Hotel Easy pass which allows entry.

      Regards
      Billy

  93. Hi my daughter and granddaughter are buying the magic plus annual pass ,and I wanted to find out if you do a disabled annual pass and if so how much please. We are coming end July for 2 weeks so I know it will save a fortune with passes. Thanks

    • Hi Genna,

      The new passes came into effect in March. The old passes did not have any discount for disabled users & i haven’t seen anything to suggest the new passs do either. Disabled users can however get a 10% discount on day tickets & if they need a carer then the carer will be admitted free of charge.

      I would advise to ring the Annual Pass office in advance just to enquire if they have changed the rules since March for disabled Annual Pass purchase.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  95. I booked theannual dream passes in February and only now noticing the new passes available. Will I still be able to get 365 days access and benefits that pass had when we arrive at end of May? Or do i now have to pay extra. I also booked my hotel vienna dream castle separately through hotels.com

    • Hi Louise

      Yes your Dream pass will still be valid to activate in May. You will get all the benefits of a dream pass as normal.

      Regards
      Billy

  96. I plan on visiting Apr 16- Apr 19, Apr 16 is a black out date, if I activate the passes that day will they let me in the parks? If I pre-purchase with Supertrips noted above will save me money, do they issue a voucher to take to the park to exchange for a pass?

    • Hi Christine

      as you may know Disney have totally re-imagined the structure & prices of annual Passes starting from March 29th 2017. This has thrown things up in the air slightly. If you are buying when you arrive then you can purchase a day ticket, then go to the AP office to upgrade to an annual pass (with the day ticket price refunded). In this scenario you will already be in the park and therefor free to remain all day. Basically this means that the 16th will no longer be a blockout date!! See above for the prices & benefits of the new passes.

      As for Supertrips, I do know that they are still able to sell the Fantasy & Dream passes up until the 29th which will still be valid for the next 6 months. I would personally recommend contacting them directly to ask about the validity of being able to enter the parks on a blockout date with the temporary email ticket which they would send you. I’m not 100% sure if you will or will not. Supertrips will clarify for you though.

  97. Hi heading to DLP on July 24th till 28th this summer staying at nearby kyriad. Plan on visiting park for 3 days with return visit in Jan 2018. Know that new AP scheme coming out this month and wanted to buy fantasy card for myself and son before this happens. He has a disability which means he can get easy access pass to park rides once we get there. Can i confirm details of how to get AP in absence to minimise waiting times for us so I can better prepare him. Thanks

    • Hi Elizabeth,

      You can buy the fantasy pass before March 29th either by calling Disneyland Paris direct or buying online from Supertrips. You then can activate it in July when you arrive. You only have a few days left to do this though before the new passes roll out.

      Regards
      Billy

  98. Hi,

    We are planning to visit the park on March 26th 2017 and I have 2 questions about the Classic Annual Pass.
    1. March 26th 2017 is one of the blackout dates. Can we buy an 1-day ticket on that day and have it refunded when trading it in for the Classic Annual Pass?
    2. If I buy the Annual Pass through the phone now, how long will it be issued and sent to me?
    Thanks.

    • Hi Lain,

      Do you mean the Francillien or the Fantasy pass ? I assume you mean the Fantasy as the Francilienn will also be blocked out for the 2nd & 3rd day after purchase regardless of what date you buy it. If you buy a single day ticket at the gate then you can upgrade to the Fantasy Pass at anytime during the day. This would of course cancel out the blockout date & yes the cost of the gate price is deducted from your AP cost.

      It would be too late now to safely attempt to purchase an AP over the phone as DLP would send you out a paper ticket which would need exchanged on the day. This process can take 2-3 weeks dependant on postal services & how busy the AP office is.

      I think your best bet would be to purchase a single day ticket on 26th & then exchange at your leisure at some point during the day to get your Annual Pass.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

      • Thank you very much for your reply.

        I was hoping to purchase the Francillien AP in time to enjoy 2 days at the park (in my 5-day trip to Paris) but like you said, 2 of them, 26th and 27th, are restriction days. Now I’m contemplating to just swing by the park on 25th to purchase the pass and wait till 28th to use it lol.

        • Hi Lain,

          Yes if you purchase the Francilien you can get entry on day 1 but day 2&3 will be blockouts. Your plan sounds good though, buy on 25th…. maybe have some fun that day then go back on 28th for more fun!! Have a great holiday 🙂

  99. Hello,

    We are planning to visit disney paris 11th december 2017 for 4 days we are a family of 5 2 adults 3 children ages will be 18, 16 and 14. We priced it to stay onsite through a travel agent who said we would have to have two rooms and it came up very expensive we are trying to cut costs as my husband is disabled, would it be a cheaper option for us to stay off site and buy annual passes or buy disabled passes? Any advice appreciated it all seems so confusing

    • Hi Claire,

      sorry for the late reply. Disneyland Paris do have family rooms which are suited for 5 persons. There is also Davy Crockett’s ranch which has large cabins but this is situated a short drive away & you would need to be taking or hiring a car with you. Davy Crockett’s ranch is one of the cheapest official Disney Hotels to stay at & if you call Disney direct they can give you a quote (generally the same as any travel agent costs). As for annual Passes, that has all been thrown up in the air as the Annual Passes will be changing in March 29th this year as the whole package has been completely redesigned with additional features & additional costs. We are still looking into whether Annual Passes are suitable for one time visitors and how best to work it from a price point. Now, your best option may well be to stay offsite. There are plenty of hotels in the near vicinity which cater for larger families (Explorers has 6 person rooms for example, one room sleeps 4 with an adjoining room with bunk beds). Most nearby hotels offer free transfers to Disney also. It is also worth noting that as your husband is disabled you can get a “carers free” ticket. Your husband would also get 10% off. You would need some form of proof of disability such as a blue badge, DLA letter, Carers letter etc but this can be a great saving. We will be updating our Annual Pass page once we have more info on the costings & practicalities in the near future, as it stands we are still getting our questions answered from Disney itself as the news of new Annual Passes only broke last week.

  100. Hello,

    My wife and I are planning to visit DLP for two days during the week that we are in Paris this April. Am I correct in that if I purchase the classic annual pass the first day we are there (not one of the blackout days) that we then just have to wait two days before going back? I think it seems as if this pass would be cheaper than even two one-day two-park passes at 135 Euros plus it gets 10% off purchases, correct? One other question is are annual passes able to be purchased over the phone from the U.S.A. if I call the DLP office since I would prefer to lock in the pricing if it is going up at the end of the month.
    Thanks!

    • Hi Dean,

      Unfortunately news has broke last week that the Annual Passes are being re-categorised for all purchases after March 29th 2017. If you check our Annual Passes page you can see the new passes with new price structure & features. You would be best to call the AP office at Disneyland Paris to discuss the new options & if they would be suitable.

      Kind Regards
      Billy

  101. Hello
    I want to go to Disneyland by the end of June. Mother with 2 children age 16 and 13. I come from balkans country and for us the tickets price is very high. Can you please suggest how can I spend less money . Posable to stay from 23 till 29 and go in Paris and visit Disneyland or just Disneyland from 26 till 29 of June. I appreciate any help

    • Hi

      If your children are under 7 then look at different countries offers. The French, German & Irish Disneyland Paris sites all offer different packages and you may find a “kids stay & play free” offer.
      The other alternative is to stay in a nearby hotel just a few minutes outside Disneyland & purchase 3 annual passes. Check the blockout dates & discounts to see which one suits best. You can save 10% off the cost of annual passes by finding a ‘sponsor’ who already owns an annual pass to sign you up. There are many facebook groups with members who are annual pass holders who will happily sponsor you.

      Billy

  102. Hi I have a question that I’ve not seen answered anywhere. When you book a room through the Disneyland Paris website the tickets are included, are the rooms cheaper without this added on? I don’t have an annual pass yet but I was wondering how that works, do I put the passes code code in at checkout or something to remove the added park tickets? How much less would it cost, say for 2 adults for a 3 night stay, both with annual passes? Or would you recommend booking the Disney hotels through a site which only gives you the rooms? Maybe this is something that becomes obvious once you have the pass but it doesn’t look to me like you can book the hotel rooms through the DLP website without tickets included in the cost.
    Thanks, Natalie 🙂

    • Hi Natalie

      You are correct. You cannot book a room only package on the Disney website. Once you have an annual pass you can book over the phone stating you have an Annual Pass. The prices quoted differ depending on your dates and which hotel. There have been some great Annual Pass room only rates this year which i have seen people getting such as 60% off. The only way to get a quote for this is over the phone once you have your Annual Pass or temporary annual pass number.

      Billy

  103. Hi there,
    My husband and I currently hold annual passes. We are interested in giving up to 6 people the 10% discount by being their sponsor for their own annual passes. Do you have an area on your page where people can discuss doing this? If not, people who are interested, please feel free to reply with your email address and I’ll get back to you. Thanks.

    Admin please remove if not allowed to post!

  104. Yes i know i was suprised too! I might try that on the website see if that works. Do you think it may be worth me emailing front desk again in the hope that maybe i just got a grumpy CM? Nat.

    • Hi Natalie,

      It could be worth a try, you could always just put it down to a mistake sending it twice if you get the same one lol I’d try the website first as it’s free and easy 🙂

      Billy

  105. Well, i emailed front desk only to be told they dont handle email requests and i have to call an 0844 number they gave me. Didnt really want to have to do that as costs a lot and wanted written confirmation really 🙁

    • Hi Natalie

      Wow! I’ve never heard of reception at any hotel saying they don’t do email assistance. That’s not the high standard we expect from Disney. You could also try the live help feature on disneylandparis website. That would save a phone cost.

      Billy

  106. Oh thats good to hear, thanks. Ive heard a few people say that maybe club level rooms wouldnt allow u to do this and i panicked.

    • Hi Natalie,

      Yes I have seen a few conflicting reports about a small number of people being charged extra when going to “added perks” rooms. This is something which has only been happening to some guests and there’s no official explanation for it. It seems to depend on which manager is on duty at each hotel. If you are still worried then give the Guest relations a call before you travel and let them know that your husband & 2 kids may be joining you with annual passes and see what they tell you. If anything this will just put your mind at ease. The last thing you want is an unexpected surprise!

      Billy

  107. Hi! I took the plunge today and I have booked a package deal i found online,i called and booked over phone for 1ad (me) and 1c (3yr old), in a family room for 5 at Newport Bay Compass Club. There will be an extra adult (my hubby) and our other 2 children upon arrival that i was hoping to add on using my Dreams AP so they can just pay City Tax per night. Do i call and do it over the phone or risk it and do it upon arrival? Worried! :/ They all have Fantasy passes too btw.Thanks x

    • Hi Natalie,

      Either way is fine. I haven’t tried the new Compass rooms but i have heard the rooms are great and the perks are excellent. Have a great time!

      Billy

  108. Hi,
    Firstly, great page! Thanks for all the information.
    I was wondering if you could help me with another query.
    I have purchased annual passes through Disney and currently have the temporary day passes which I need to exchange for full annual passes when I arrive in Disney.
    On the first day of arrival however I would like to first visit the Studios Park before moving across to the main Disneyland Park. Do you know if the temporary annual pass cards allow park hopping on the first day?

    Thanks

    • Hi Bo

      I’m afraid i can’t give you a definite answer. You definitely used to be able to do this in the past as The Studios actually has it’s own annual pass office but it was only open on certain days. I haven’t actually noticed in recent visits if it is still open.

      There is also “Donalds Desk” which is situated beside the ticket turnstiles beside Disneyland Park which you could use to upgrade your temp pass to a full pass then go to the Studios first.

      My advice would be to call the Annual Pass office before you go and ask them if it is possible. The number is 08448 008 898. I’m sorry i can’t give you a certain answer and i would really appreciate you getting back in touch when you find out if it is possible or not. Have a great holiday!

      Billy

      • Thanks Billy,
        I’ve received conflicting information from Disney. Through the phoneline I was told that the AP office will be open in the main park from 8am on the Friday in question and that I would be able to use the temporary pass to gain access to EMH in the main disneyland park that day. I was told that I would need to go straight to the main disneyland park with the temporary pass rather than park hop by going to the Studios first.
        The phoneline employee wasn’t aware of the opening hours of the Studios Annual Passport Office or if it even existed.

        I wasn’t confident of the accuracy of any of this information as it conflicts with what I’ve read elsewhere so I then contacted DLP on twitter and was told that the APO in disneyland park opens at 10am and that I won’t be able to use the temporary pass to gain access to EMH. No answer on the ability to park hop with a temporary pass though!

        I’ll update you if I hear anything further!

        • Hi Bo

          Thanks for the update.

          I agree with you that the first person you spoke to has not given you accurate info.

          The 2nd persons advice seems more in line with my thoughts. The other way i mentioned which would save you going into the main park was to see if “Donalds desk” was open at the right of the turnstiles. This is a situation I’ve never come across though (or even thought about) to be honest. I do hope they help and sprinkle some magic so that you can access the studios first, it shouldn’t be ahuge problem in my opinion.

          Billy

  109. Thanks for the responses. With regard to the sponsorship, does the sponsor need to be there with us when we convert? If we go down that route, then would we still buy from supertrips or go for a 1 day pass instead and then upgrade at the AP office?

    • Hi Matt

      Yes the sponsor would meet you at the AP Office after you bought your one day ticket at the entrance. You couldn’t use Supertrips if going down the sponsors route.

      Regards
      Billy

  110. Hi

    Great resource – thanks for maintaining it and responding to questions.

    We are heading out there 2/1/17 for 4 days staying off site. We are looking at Dream passes and I’m looking for the simplest route. I was thinking of buying at the gate (Current exchange rate makes them £186 each) and swapping temp for real pass, but I looked on SuperTrips and they are are showing kids at 175 and adults at 185 so an overall (small) saving.

    Do you know why they are differentiating between adults and kids of DLP do not?

    Are their tickets absolutely identical?

    If we pre-buy via supertrips, or buy at the gate, do either get us extra magic hours on the first day?

    Thanks again
    Matt

    • Hi Matt,

      Firstly, thank you!

      Now onto your query. Unless things have changed very recently then NO, you won’t get EMH on your first day until you have your full annual pass. This covers both buying on the gate and also buying from Supertrips.

      Supertrips offer discounts of various kinds…. a popular one is child discounts although as you noted, DLP actually make no differences between adult or child. Its just a selling gimmick they offer. My phone is almost dead so I’ll reply with more info shortly!!

    • Hi again Matt,

      Yes, Supertrips are recommended and good value. They email you the temporary ticket which you scan at the entrance and upgrade to a full annual pass at the AP office.

      Another thing that could save you a little bit more would be to find a current AP holder to sponsor you. You would receive 10% off each pass this way. If there are 5 of you from the same household you could receive 20% off buying a family package.

      There are always poeple looking to sponsor if you search FB groups for Disneyland Paris or theres 2 or 3 busy forums online which match up sponsors too.

      Any other queries just fire away, otherwise i hope you have a magical trip!

      Billy

  111. Hi

    We are going to dlp in Feb and staying at the Sequoia Lodge which includes our passes. I was thinking of purchasing a Dream annual pass for both myself and my 4yr old whilst there. Will I get any kind of discount (for example a day pass price deduction??) given our passes are included??
    Also, are child passes the same price as adult passes? Thanks

    • Hi Deb,

      Sorry but package tickets are free with a hotel booking and so technically have 0 value, therefor you cannot use these tickets to upgrade to an annual pass at DLP unfortunately. There is no difference between a child/adult pass and so the price is the same unfortunately. You could check Supertrips website as they may have a sale on for tickets. You could alternatively save 10% off the cost if you find someone to “sponsor” you who will be there at the same time as you. There are plenty of facebook groups etc where you could find a sponsor.

      I assume you are looking to visit again throughout the year, hence the reason to buy annual passes?

      Regards
      Billy

      • Hi Billy

        Thanks for such a prompt reply ?
        Shame about the day ticket thing. I might look at disguarded ones – possibly lol
        Or yes, I could try and find someone to sponsor me. Question…..if someone sponsors me, can I then sponsor my daughter, my friend and my friends daughter to claim a free 12mths? Or is there a qualifying period before you can sponsor someone?
        Yes, looking at purchasing a AP so we can pop over at anytime. I don’t mind driving and happy to stay outside Disney especially if I get free parking lol

        • Hi Deb,

          There is a 30 day period after you buy your annual pass to when you can sponsor someone else. If you are flexible on dates you could save a few quid by getting your daughter the cheaper fantasy pass as you would be using your dream pass for all the discounts anyway. In fact you could just get your daughters AP the next time you go as she already has tickets for this trip…… then you could sponsor her. Are your friends booked into a package already as well?

          Regards
          Billy

  112. Hello! Just curious, we stayed at DLH a few weeks ago and have been considering whether to get an AP (ran out of time when we were there to visit the AP office). Curious if we could use the tickets we had through the hotel package to reduce the price of the AP like you can with a 1-day ticket? We originally booked direct with Disney
    Thank you!

    • Hi Holly

      Sorry but package tickets are free with a hotel booking and so technically have 0 value. You cannot use these tickets to upgrade to an annual pass at DLP unfortunately.

    • Hi whitney,

      Happy to help! As there will be 5 of you in a room you need to remember and ask for a cotbed for the 7 month old to be placed into the room as rooms only hold 4 people as standard. Christmas time is great at Disneyland Paris! Have a great time!

      Billy

  113. Hi!

    My family and I want to visit over Christmas and want to stay at Cheyenne. It will be my husband, myself, our four and two year old and our seven month old. We want to get annual passes. What is the cheapest way for us to do that? Also, does the seven and under free special going on right now apply to annual passes as well? Furthermore, do you know the best way to make Christmas Day meal reservations online since my US phone isn’t letting me dial out there?

    Thanks!
    Whitney

    • Hi Whitney,

      Your best option would be to book a package for yourself plus the children (who will be free as all under 7). You should then purchase an annual pass for your husband and add him on to the room at checkin. Your husband will then only need to pay the tourist tax of approx. €1 per night but will receive breakfast and stay in the room at no extra cost. You only need one person in your party with an annual pass to receive all the discounts. You could do it either way of you buying the annual pass & your husband makes a booking with kids if you prefer. You can’t make online reservations unfortunately and need to phone up. You could try emailing guest services and ask to do it via email after you have a booking.

      Billy

  114. Hi I’m booked on a trip to a Davy Crockett – next June – with my friends, but am thinking a dream pass would make more sense to me , can I take myself off the booking and then add back on at arrival for local tax cost, then buy the dream annual pass when I get to the park (I’m arriving the day before my friends and am booked into a local hotel) – will I be able to use the pass straight away?

    • Hi

      Yes you can buy your dream pass when you get there and use immediately. Dream passes have no date restrictions at all. You can also add yourself onto the room and only pay tourist tax. If i understand correctly though you have already made your booking? Disney may not offer you a refund on any monies already paid but could offer the remaining poeple on the booking to have an upgrade or perhaps half board for the difference in price. Best enquire with Disney if you can remove yourself from the current booking with no penalty first.

      Regards
      Billy

  115. Hello I am so delighted I found your site, I really found you by
    error, while I was looking on Aol for something else,
    Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say many thanks
    for a remarkable post and a all round exciting blog (I also love the theme/design),
    I don’t have time to read it all at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I
    have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the awesome b.

  116. Hi. I want to buy 2 dream passes When we plan to visit the New Years weekend as we want to visit in May and in next year fall as well. Does the pass last from date to date? Do I buy the passes when we arrive on the 28. September? Or can I buy them online before we arrive? We are from Norway and will be visiting for 5 days this time.

    • Hi Maren

      You can buy in advance or when you arrive. The pass starts from the 1st day you enter the park. You can buy online before you go. This way you will be given a temporary day pass which will let you into the front gate & then you would go to the Annual Pass office to create the full pass. As stated the pass starts on your first date of entry.

      Regards
      Billy

        • Hi Maren

          Yes if the 1st day of your holiday is 28th December then your pass will be activated on that day & run until 28/12/17.

          Regards
          Billy

          • Hi Maren

            You’re welcome & I’m sure you will have a great time! Yes the Annual Passes are a great investment especially with all the added extra discounts in shops, restaurants etc. Have fun!

          • Hi

            Thank You. So sorry to be asking even more questions. But the price of the annual dream pass is 223 euros? Including the pass card and photos for the card? Or is there a price for that as well? Does the card give me discount in every shop? We usually buy some of the Disney dresses, I guess I get discount on that?

            We centaur to celebrate New Years in the park:)

          • Hi Maren

            Yes you get 20% discount on dresses and all other items in Disney shops. Lego shop gives you 10%. The €223 is the full cost of the annual pass. A cast member will take your photograph and create your full pass. €223 is full price.

            Regards
            Billy

    • Hi Sandra,

      To renew your Annual Pass it is best to call the AP office on 08448 008 898 if you are not at the parks when renewal is due. Renewals usually have a special offer which varies from time to time. These include discount or perhaps 3 to 6 months EXTRA on your passport. you should ask the AP office when you call if they have a special deal for renewals at the moment. The most common is being given 18 months instead of 12 months for AP renewals.

      Regards
      Billy

  117. Hi. I am looking to buy the francillien pass for 2 adults online via the website http://www.disneylandparis.fr/passeports-annuels/?ecid=AFF_TD_S_1939219-1072071&tduid=c48dad22195cf97b0c9ce52dc66ea598&pid=19240&epi=&epi2=# .
    The issue is i don’t stay in France and i can’t ask them to deliver to me as I will be leaving for Paris in a month’s time. There is an option to make a One time payment to print a temporary Annual Passport home exchange during your first visit to the Parks. Will i be able to use the pass on the 2nd and 3rd day since i’ll be buying it online and not on the day i use the temporary pass?

    • Hi Tess,

      There is a way in which you can buy a Frncilien AP in advance which cancels out the blockout days but this requires the full laminated plastic AP to be sent out. The process for doing this way can take anything up to 8 weeks unfortunately. If you take the temporary paper print out pass then you will not be allowed entry on day 2 or 3. Perhaps a Fantasy online Pass would be better but please check blockout days first.

      Regards
      Billy

  118. Hi im looking to buy some annual passes for 2 adults and take our daughter with us who is two. Would we need to get her an annual pass of her own to be able to come with us. She would turn 3 during the time we would have the pass so what would we need to do then ?

    • Hi Mike,

      Of course your daughter will have free entry up until she turns 3 years old so it would depend entirely on how many days after her birthday you would be there. If you are going to the park for more than 4 days after her 3rd birthday then an annual pass would be cheaper but if less than 4 days as a 3 yr old then just buying her a child ticket at the gate (using your annual pass discount) would work out cheaper. Children pay the same price as adults for an Annual Pass but get cheaper day tickets. I assume you are staying offsite ?

      Regards
      Billy

  119. hi!i want to ask something!i am planning in 10 of december to visit disneyland paris and i am planning to buy fantasy annuel passport but 10 december is block date for fantasy passport holders!i will be able to buy this annual pass that day and use it?thanks

    • Hi Theo,

      YES! You can use the Fantasy pass on the day you purchase it even if it is a blockout day. The easiest way is to purchase a day ticket at the entrance & then go to the Annual Pass office to “upgrade” to a Fantasy Annual Pass. The cost of the day ticket will be discounted from the Annual Pass.

      Regards
      Billy

  120. Hi I have a Dream AP which is due to expire 30/10/16, I wanted to book an onsite hotel package for Dec as a gift for some friends if I do this would I get AP discount on this booking

    • Hi Mary,

      unfortunately the answer is No. Your Annual Pass must be valid for the duration of the stay & the checkin staff will ask to see your Annual Pass number on the card when you checkin. So, in short, the Pass must be valid & the passholder must be present during checkin and present the valid plastic Annual Pass.

      Regards
      Billy

    • Hi Leandra,

      Unfortunately the answer is No! The only way to enjoy EMH is by being an AP holder or staying onsite but they will of course be able to enjoy Disney village of have a look around Disneyland Hotel etc in the morning.

      Regards
      Billy

  121. Hi there, I am going to dlp in October this year, we have already booked hotel and park tickets as a package but I am thinking of getting a dreams annual pass while at the park as me and my fiancé are looking at going back later in the year also to take advantage of the numerous discounts on merchandise and restaurants there are 10 of us in total going so between us there are a lot of savings to me made, my question is can I use the pass to get the 10% discount at McDonalds also is there a limit as to how many people per reservation can get the discount in restaurants as we are looking at doing a character breakfast at café mickey
    Thank you

    • Hi steven

      There “should” be no limit. As long as you are all seated at the same table then the annual pass discount is taken off of the whole bill at the end. I’m not sure if you will get a 10 seater table in Café Mickey so you should alert your server that you want the whole party placed onto one bill so that the AP holder can pay. Let the server know when that you intend to use your AP to pay & also ask for your free aperitif for yourself at table service restaurants.
      McDonalds don’t do an AP discount but other Disney Village outlets do & Earl of Sandwich gives AP discount on certain menu items (usually not the meal deal).

      Regards
      Billy

  122. Very helpful site! Would really appreciate advice please – we are visiting Thurs Sept 29th- Mon Oct 3rd, with my husband leaving early Monday and me and our 2 yr old taking the direct 6pm train back to London (so I need an extra day’s ticket- toddler under 3 so free I think??). We have booked Eurostar but no park tickets or hotel yet. Disney hotels would be great but seem very expensive- we’re looking at Explorers, Val D’Elysee or Hipark as cheaper alternatives, but we really want the Magic Hours! So I’m considering annual passes – found Fantasy for £150 each or slightly more at gate, however I’m also wondering if instead, we book Disney Cheyenne or Santa Fe, perhaps for Thurs-Sun (giving us park tickets for 4 days) and cheaper hotel for the last night, as hubby is leaving early anyway.

    Now what I have seen, as you mention on here, is people saying you can book just 1 adult/child into the Disney hotel and then add a 2nd on arrival at minimal/no extra cost – how does this work, as price difference is huge when booking upfront for 1 versus 2 adults?? Is it just an overlooked loophole by DLP? Seems too good to be true! In other words, can I book hubby & son into Disney hotel for £599 and add myself on arrival for free, or will they charge us the full £742 quoted when pricing for 2 adults? This would give us all breakfast at the hotel, hubby’s 4-day park tickets and meal vouchers and I would just buy a single fantasy pass to cover me/toddler for the whole 5 days, with all the nice extra discounts that gives us. If this is ok to do, we would be looking at about £840 total for a 4-day park ticket, 3 nights DLP hotel with breakfast, 1 annual pass, £60ish meal vouchers, 1 night offsite hotel. As opposed to about £600 for 4 nights off-site hotel, 2 annual passes, no breakfast or meal vouchers.

    Have I figured this about right? Or is the book 1 adult/ 2 stay thing a bit of a myth?

    • Hi Sarah

      Yes you have it absolutely right!! This is what we do as a family. Many people do it. You just book your hubby plus child and then during checkin tell the clerk that you would like yourself added on to the room. You will have to pay the tourist tax (approx €1 per night) but you will get breakfast & stay.
      Have you looked at another way of doing it which may be better than moving hotel on last day…… book yourself & child on package for Thu-Mon & add hubby in with an annual pass? You would not have to change hotels & would receive an extra meal voucher too. It may work out better?

      Regards
      Billy

      • Wow thanks for the super quick reply! I shall have to give this serious consideration then- as we are certainly not guaranteed to return within 12 months, havng 2 annual passes might be redundant anyway. The cheapest DLP 4 night package is £768, an extra £170 for Sunday night, whereas we can book one of the others for about £50. Even with the extra meal voucher that’s quite a big difference in price…

        Hmmm. SO many different permutations to consider. Ive already spent days looking at options, ha.

        • Hi Sarah

          It all boils down to the price you are willing to pay. If you are wanting to stay onsite (our fav onsite is Cheyenne) & don’t mind moving hotel on last day then thats great. We have stayed at Explorers, Dream Castle & Kyriad and all are great with just a 5 min shuttle to parks.
          The very cheapest option would still be to stay offsite at cheap hotel and get 2 annual passes but you would be leaving the “Disney bubble” each night so its a small trade off. I see your dates coming it at around £250-350 for Bed & Breakfast in a few hotels so could leave more money for extra treats in the parks. Is this your first time at Disneyland Paris?

          • Hi, yes it’s our first trip and torn between wanting to make the most of it and not blowing our budget! Having said that, toddler is only 2 so may not remember all that much anyway- perhaps we can save the full-blown Disney hotel experience for when he’s a bit older! Explorers looks fab for kids and is currently a really good price but we worried it was a bit in the middle of nowhere, no shops etc, so we’d be totally reliant on hotel food and the shuttle which I hear gets busy. With husband needing to get away very early on Monday, I thought one nearer the station might be better. Leaning towards Hipark as we can get a suite with separate bedroom, which is great for putting our son to bed and letting us chill for a few hours. Close to shops/ station and walkable from the park. Plus if we get 2 annual passes then we can do it all again whenever we want… Ha!

          • Hi Sarah

            Explorers is a great hotel & 5 mins by shuttle to the parks. The shuttles can get busy though but as you are going off season i wouldnt think they would be too bad. By the sounds of it though you may be right about somewhere such as Hipark which is only a 5 min walk from train station & shopping centre. I would definitely recommend staying onsite in the future as it really is a much more immersive experience but it can be expensive unless they have a special offer such as 2 days/nights free etc. You will have hundreds extra to spend this way and togetger with the discounts you will be much better of spends wise.
            I see on booking.com they have executive family suite for £313 for your dates. You could even use the booking.com search on this site to book 🙂 We receive small commission but no pressure lol it may be even cheaper elsewhere. Are you taking your own pushchair or renting whilst there?

            Regards

          • Hi Billy, I’ve gone ahead and booked Hipark through Hotels.com as I got a great members deal (and Rewards scheme) but next time I use Booking.com I will certainly try and do it through here 🙂 We are taking our own buggy as Griff will need a nap in the day, presume that’s ok with Eurostar?? Will definitely think about the AP guest add-on for our next trip- maybe with friends or family to get the best deal. Thanks so much for all the help!

          • Hi Sarah. Now it’s booked you can get really excited! Have a read up on Rider swap if you want to both ride the bigger rides & make use of the fastpasses. It won’t be too busy at that time of year and you may also get Extra Magic Hours in the Studios as they will be decorating for Halloween season. The Villains are excellent & your boy will love Disney Jnr & Stitch Live! Shows. If you have any other questions then feel free to drop back & ask. Have a great time!

            Regards
            Billy

          • Brilliant, thanks yes I will do. We’d love to go on some of the bigger rides if Griff plays ball, rider swap sounds ace 🙂 He loves Ratatouille and Dumbo so they’ll be our first ports of call I reckon. Can’t wait!

  123. Hi,

    Looking for some advice about the best way to book 2 trips. Plan to go 24th-27th October and again maybe 3 nights from 30th may. I’m trying to understand how the annual passes work. We would want to stay in the Santa Fe and do BBWW, cafe mickey, and potentially inventions and ADC split over the 2 trips. There is me, my husband, daughter who is 5 and son who is 1. What is the chepeast way to do this? would it be best to buy annual passes, and if so what would be the best way to book it all?

    Any advice would be great.

    Thanks,

    Emma

      • Hi Emma

        If your sister is ONLY going on October and NOT May then you should book her in as part of the package rather than her buying annual pass. The cost is £150 extra but she will receive 3x half board vouchers at £21 per night. So you would book for 2ad 2ch on booking with yourself getting an annual pass. If she is also going in May then yes she should follow the instructions to get an annual pass same as you.

    • Hi Emma
      This is a complicated one !!
      Currently for those October dates you are being offered Free Half Board meal plan & under 7s stay & play free. This makes staying onsite very expensive.

      This is what I would do.

      1. Book the package via DLP official site for your husband & 2 kids (current cost £1051) The cost for adding your sister & yourself would be £1358 so you have saved £300
      2. Upon checkin let the staff know you wish to ADD YOURSELF & SISTER to the booking as you have an AP (this costs roughly €1 per night tax eaxh but gets you room PLUS breakfast)
      3. Buy yourself & your sister a day ticket at the parks & exchange it for Annual Pass once inside. This will cost a total of between £220 & £400 depemding on what passes.

      Now, your husband & child will receive vouchers for a free evening meal (worth £21 per night adult £11 child) plus ALL of you will be entitled to breakfast at the hotel. Your 1 year old obviously eats for free at buffet restaurants or can share your plate at table restaurants. You can use your food vouchers as part payment at Inventions, Café Mickey etc. You will then be able to use your annual pass discounts to save up to 20% in shops & 10% on restaurants plus a whole range of other things such as free lockers, free parking, free drink at table service restaurants etc as detailed above.

      When it comes to May holiday it will be the same. Book your husband & kids under the package room & then add yourself at checkin. You will save hundreds over the cost of both holidays.

      Hopefully ive explained it well enough

      Regards

  124. Hello 🙂 we are wanting to buy x1 dream pass amd x4 fantasy for our trip in May 2017. We dont plan to buy until October but was wondering what the best way to do this was? There doesnt seem to be an option online to buy different passes in 1 transaction (other than a french form that can be printed off and posted, but im struggling to translate), so was looking for some guidance. Thankyou.

    • Hi Natalie,

      You can call the Annual Passport office on 08448 008 898 & buy in advance of your visit. You can also buy online from Supertrips (We have used them in the past & very happy with service). Supertrips allow you to buy in advance & also sometimes at a better rate than buying direct. They email you your AP entry ticket which you scan at the entrance like a normal ticket & then proceed to the Annual Passport office to finalise the procedure by giving details & taking photo to enable them to create your AP. Other than that you would need to print off seperate forms and then use good old Google Translate to fill it in.

      Regards

      • Excellent thanks. After posting this i have done a lot of research into this but i wondering if it is possible to upgrade an AP via post? As planning on buying 5 Fantasy passes via post using the 20% family discount and then upgrading 1 to a Dream before booking accomodation to get best discount.

        • Hi Natalie

          Are you buying 5 passes from Supertrips in advance and getting family discount? I would ask Supertrips if they do the discount using 4 fantasy and 1 dream as this would be easier. I am 95% sure Disney allow you to mix n match passes and you get family discount off total price. I’m not sure if Supertrips do this though. You wont be able to upgrade a temporary pass by post as it needs to be activated in the annual passport office to actually become an annual pass first. I hope that makes sense.

          • I recently purchased 5 AP’s in September. They would not allow me to purchase 4 fantasy and 1 dream AP’s, and obtain the 20% family discount. All of the passes need to be the same (eg. all fantasy, or all dream.) Not sure if this is the official policy or not, but the cast member at the ticket office was quite adamant about that point. In the end, we opted to get the 5 fantasy AP’s.

          • Hi Hoveeg,

            That really surprises me. It may well be policy now but it seems a strange policy. I don’t see the point in why they would need them all to be the same, however we must respect their judgement. Thanks for letting us know. If you stayed at one of the Onsite or Disney partner hotels we would love it if you could leave a review on our hotel page.

            Regards

  125. Hi, I read recently that monthly payment by direct debit for annual passes is now open to non French residents. Could you please confirm if this is the case? Do we purchase 1 day tickets on arrival then go to the Annual Pass office with our passports, bank details etc?
    Many thanks.

    • Hi Miriam

      It did used to be that only French nationals could pay monthly. This then relaxed to allow French bank account holders to pay monthly. I too have heard that DLP have now opened this to UK residents but this is totally anecdotal evidence.
      To be sure you should call the Annual Passport office and enquire but it does indeed sound as though it is now possible. If so then Yes you would need your bank details, your passport and your day ticket (which would be refunded or removed from the AP price) to the AP office.

      It would be great if you could come back here and let us know a definitive answer.

      Regards

  126. Hi, we are wanting to buy 2 adult and 2 child FANTASY annual passes to visit from 25th July to 28th July. The blackout dates show 27th July so we plan to visit Paris city centre on that day. Can we complete/print off forms to speed up the annual pass purchase process on the day? Also, will we be able to use the passes immediately including free parking? Or will we need to pay for parking on the first day? We are staying at the B&B Hotel Disneyland® Paris, Magny-le-Hongre … do we even need to drive from here or is access easy enough on foot?
    Many thanks.
    Lea

    • Hi Leanne

      You can phone up the annual pass office & buy the pass in advance. If you decide to buy on the day then you can pay for parking & have this refunded (or removed from the AP price) on production of your parking receipt. The B&B provides a free shuttle service which runs every 15-20 mins & takes approx 5 mins so may be a better idea than driving but at peak times these shuttles can become cramped & full. Thats a judgement call for you. You could walk but its along a busy road and takes about 20 mins. Shuttle or drive would certainly be best.

      Regards

  127. Hi,

    Could you please provide some information on renewing an annual pass

    I currently have a dream annual pass which ends next May, do i have to pay full price to renew my pass again next year?

    Thanks

    • Hi Erica

      This varies from time to time. Most times you will be given a special offer for renewing which will either be a discount OR extra months. When we last renewed it was full price but we were given an extra 6 months so our next annual pass was in fact valid for 18 months. Call the Annual Pass bureau & ask what offers are available for renewal.

      Regards
      Billy

  128. I have been in disney park last week and we have the fantasy pass . Can you please let me know when are the blockout dates for May & June 2017. As we want to plan our next visit .

    Thank you
    Regards
    Claudia Spiteri

    • Hi Claudia

      The dates provided by Disneyland Paris only include up to April 2017 unfortunately.
      The dates for May/June 2017 will not be released for a few months. Keep an eye on the site as we will update as soon as we know them

  129. I am visiting the park in 2 weeks time with 7 others we are staying for 6 days is it worth buying annual fantasy passes and can we purchase them in advance

    • Hi carol,

      If you are staying onsite then you already have park tickets as part of your package. If you are staying offsite then it is DEFINITELY worthwhile buying an annual pass. You can buy in advance by phoning Disney & if there are 5 of you from the same address you will qualify for a 20% discount on all of those 5 passes. The 10% discount on both restaurants & merchandise will add up to a large amount and may even make the tickets pay for themselves! Even if staying onsite with tickets already included it is worth 1 of you purchasing an annual pass & getting all of the benefits. Only 1 pass is needed to get the discount at restaurants/shops as long as the person holding the pass is at the table or checkout. Enjoy your stay !

    • What window can you purchase annual passes from outside the park? I had a nightmare getting them last year and was told i could only get them inside the park..

      • Hi,

        you can pay for your Annual Passes at any of the main ticket windows outside the parks however you will be given a temporary pass which you then have to upgrade to the full pass once inside. This is mainly due to the fact that you need to have your photo taken for the id pass. Occasionally you can buy a full Annual Pass from Donalds Desk which is to the right of the turnstiles of the main entrance although this is not always open & even when it is open it depends on how busy it is if they have time to do a full pass for you.

        You can also buy a full pass via mail if you have time. Just download the form from the Disneyland PAris website & send in your photo id. The only drawback this way is that your Annual PAss start date will be when they send the pass out to you & not your first day in the park.

        Just seeing you had one last year….. Will you not be able to renew? You can renew up to 60 days before your pass expires or 30 days after. This can also be done by post & as they already have your photo on file they will just use that one.

        Kind Regards
        Billy
