Purchase AP Online?

[NewtoOrlando]

I know L&R Dreaming are putting out a vlog soon as they have just purchased DLP AP's - might be of use if you want to get one.

Thanks I had a look at L&R Dreaming messages so far. From what i can gather, they booked online and paid in full for two passes and received the annual pass number of one of the passes in the email, but not the other.

I would like to pay monthly and buy online. I am wondering if I book each pass separately if I will get all the annual pass numbers by email, allowing me to reserve the days I need in the parks as soon as I get the email.

Has anyone tried this or had a similar experience ?

Would like to buy an AP why do they make this so difficult ?

Use the French website, if you use Chrome it will auto-translate. They can then be sent to you in the post, but they will be active from the date they were issued/printed. You should get an email before they physically arrive with the AP number on so you could book park days then (I think L&R dreaming just got.unlucky that one email didn't come through). Should take a couple weeks to arrive on average.

Sorry for the late reply, we paid in full for our pass on the 11th and it arrived in the post 8 days later. Now just waiting and hoping France remains open for travelling, only 10 days to go.

Been trying all afternoon to buy annual passes to use for holiday in September. Ringing the number on the annual pass page seems to put you through to a general team. As does the number in this thread.

They very quickly decide they can't answer your question. "Can I buy an annual pass and reserve, multiple parks days in one go, if not can I please buy an annual pass and have it posted so I can make multiple reservations when it arrives" who after an eternity answer to tell you that only way to buy an annual pass where you can make mulitple reservations is on the website, but they can guide you through the French site.

After entering card details we are invariably presented with a failure page. Unfortunately at this point i've already finished the call with the lady from the AP Office - who wasn't much help as the line kept muting her!

Thinking this might be some sort of fraud flag by the bank, we've rung them and they have no record of the transaction. Trying to ring Disney back and they are now closed. Their twitter feed that's supposed to be manned until 8pm hasn't seen a tweet all day.

For a company that surely wants every penny it can get right now, they sure don't make it easy to give them said money!

Hi all, After watching loads of vlogs we have decided Disney isn't for us.
We stopped going in Florida after a distasterous Easter 2012 trip which saw us not able to eat in a restaurant as we arrived for rope drop and had to make to with rubber pizza. I thought to give it a chance again with Paris but reading this it seems like France wasn't such a great place to place Disney which is exactly why Universal quickly pulled out of Spain as well.

Trying hard not to be Debbie Downer but the post from assos above just sums up the experience I had last time I was at Paris Disney.

if you buy an annual pass online, can you link it to your disney account before it arrives? I am looking at visiting mid August, so think the pass will arrive on time, but not sure I will then get availability to reserve a park slot...

Can I do this on the phone, or online? or do I give up and just buy park tickets on this trip?

The lady I spoke to yesterday said that if we completed the application yesterday they'd be processed this week - and if we gave them a call towards the end of the week they should have the ticket numbers and be able to book the reservations for us.

Actually being able to buy the APs is another matter entirely...

I do know how you feel, we went through this last week. When I eventually got back through to someone she said that it happens sometimes and you need to clear your cookies and try again.

It worked when I tried it.

However, of course, the emails related to the booking all came through in French - don’t know why I didn’t foresee that one?!

I was given an email address to send the required documents off to, instead of posting:
paiementmensuel@passeportannuel.fr

That said, I’ve not had any confirmation that they’ve received the documents and that everything is ok since sending them off last Thursday.
