Originally Posted By davewasbaloo APs at DLP are excellent value. For your first visit, you can book a package and then convert your passports into annual passes. If you think you will be making multiple visits, then the Dream is best value. For $228, it gives you year round access to the resort, 15% of Buffalo Bill's, 10% off food and souvenirs (20% on one day for merchandise and one meal), free stroller and wheelchair rental, free parking, discounts on rooms and special events, and a free apperetiff at table service restaurants. Also, the pass gives you early access to Fantasyland 1/2 an hour prior to park opening. It often pays for itself if you are planning on spending more than 4 days at the resort in a year. And getting across to DLP can be quite cheap with grocery store loyalty card schemes or cheap flights with Easyjet or Ryanair. Where are you moving in the UK? Any further questions, just let us know.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss The AP welcome "gifts" sweeten the deal as well. I've mentioned it before that the AP is such a good deal that I got one on my last trip; adding up all the savings between hotl, food and souvenirs, it more than paid for itself.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo We got ours on the UK LP meet in October. It paid for itself by day 3. Our trip next week is going to be so cheap now. The hotel - 4 nights, are paid for by Holiday Inn priority points - free hotel!!! The channel tunnel is paid for by my Tesco Grocery Store loyalty points - free channel crossing. The APs are already paid for. So we just have to pay for gas, road tolls in France, food and souvenirs!!! This way we can do DLP and WDW in the same year!!!

Originally Posted By smedley We took the package then converting it option, you get 40 euros off the cost of your AP when you convert them. One piece of advice though, there is a time limit on the 20% off tickets, and on the fastpasses you get when you first pick up the passes, when we were converting we were told to wait till the last day, which meant we missed out on using all our fastpasses, and ended up going back within a month or so to make sure we got to use our 20% off passes lol! We tend to use the cheap airlines to get out there, it can be really cheap as Dave says, especially once you've got your passes and can book the Holiday Inn as a hotel on it's own (we can privde you with the website information when/if you need it) We're definitely available if you have any more questions, be they on DLP or the UK
Originally Posted By u k fan Despite what people may think or say as others have stated DLP can be a bargain. I'm taking a family of 8 in June for £335. A couple of them will need to buy AP's when they get there, but that's the only other cost. Oh, and the road tolls!!!
