Annual Passports DLP

[isanda]

Has anyone any experience of buying a DLP Annual Passport. It would appear that you get some good discounts on shops, restaurants and hotels and quite a few other benefits. (See guys I still haven't gotten over the guilt feelings about maybe going to WDW in Jan for my b'day - but I may still be persuaded ;) )

This website lists some of the discounts etc for around £80 a year.

I posted this on Mike Jones thread yesterday.

I am just back from 5 days at DLP. We stayed at the Marriott d'Ile-de-France, a timeshare resort 5 mins drive from DLP (closer than Davy Crockett Ranch). The 2-BR Town house was the best accomodation we have ever stayed in at DLP - and the best value. We rented it for cash booking on-line through www.marriott.com

Biggest tip has already been given - get AP's. We bought Fantasy AP's which are valid for 345 days a year. Nominal cost = €119 However because we were buying 4 we had a 15% family discount, reducing the cost to €101 each. A 3-day hopper costs €99 (€79 for children aged 3-9). With the APs you get free parking (saving €8 a day) and 10% off all merchandise and restaurant spend - including character breakfasts/lunches/dinners.

APs are definitely great value.

Thanks Anne - tried a search but couldn't find anything.
