Maximum of 5 per AP with the flyer. 30% off all rack rates at all hotels between 13 July and 3 August, 8 August and 24 August, 29 August and 7 September and 12 September and 12 October 2008. Enjoy!

Rather annoyingly, I received an email last week saying that I could still get the 18 month renewal offer for another month, but I don't think I'll make it over before the end of July and I can't buy it online as I'm not in France. I don't see why they don't make online purchases available to all? If they don't want to advertise AP's in the UK fine, but at least let those of us who know they exist buy them on the French site!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan Courtesy of Babelfish here are edited highlights of the email I received re the offer to extend for 18 months instead of 12.

" • On Internet (5): to profit 30 days additional while clicking here and while entering password S8FR3AP6. Then choose to print your temporary Annual Passport in residence or to receive it on your premise. " I went to the French site figuring if I'm printing it off at home I could make up a French address then change it when I go in August, but never once did I find a box to enter the code and I figured if I had to get in touch to clarify that it could get tricky. It's a bit frustrating to receive an email about an offer you can't get - especially when I will be buying a new AP in August anyway. Also I don't have anything re the new offers, so I'd be interested to see what you have Lee!!!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Oh that is a real shame UKFAN, I was looking forward to seeing the whole posse at DLP. But October half term? Every school in Europe is off that week, and it was crazy when we went years ago. I suppose a crazy stay at DLP is better than no stay. These are pretty good deals. I thought we got a good deal with 20% off when we booked. I wonder if the park will be even more packed with such good deals? (But it shows the slow down of the economy to have to offer this during peak season!)
Originally Posted By u k fan Is it worth calling back to see if you can transfer your booking to one using the new discount? And yeah, I know about October, but it's currently that or goodness knows. Sis's family now can't make the end of August (thankfully all of the bookings were cancelable, but that leaves Oct or Xmas as we are stuck to school holidays. Perhaps Xmas would be better?!!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Maybe worth it, though my AP has now expired. I might give it a try. Hmmm, tough call. I think it would depend on the rates, but I might be more inclined towards Christmas as there is more entertainment. Though the weather at Halloween can be fun. All said, you will have a great time no matter what. Aren't school holidays annoying?!!!

We went a whole day without experiencing one attraction! And don't panic the immediate posse and I will be there in August!!!
