Annual Passports

From DLRPwiki

Annual Passports (Passeports Annuel) are a great way to enjoy a full year of Disney Magic at DLRP.

If you visit DLRP on more than 3-4 days in 12 months, an Annual Passport is probably the better choice.

The best overview of types and advantages can be found at the Practical guide at DLRPmagic^[1]; the official information can be found at the DLRP websitesite^[2], but this one hard to overlook.

[edit] Annual Passport Office

The AP office (Bureau Passeport Annuel) is located close to Central Plaza (at the end of Main Street, U.S.A.). It's between the Royal Castle Stage and the entry to Discoveryland. Here's a Park map with the AP office clearly marked (almost in the very middle).

Opening times: 11-19h during the week and 10-20h at the weekends (depending on season!)

After checking in and some waiting time you will be called by a Cast Member speaking your language (most probably). The personal data as name and address will be entered to the magic computer, please have any kind of passport or ID with photo with you. A photo is taken right there.

This whole process takes 5-10 minutes. Your new permanent Annual Passport will then be handed to you together with some formal stuff and paperworks (and for the Annual Passport Dream also some welcome gifts, but this offer seems to be changing!).

[edit] What do I need?

• if applicable:
  • your temporary Annual Passports to be exchanged
  • or your day ticket of the actual day, the price for 1 day will be deducted from the AP price; free/special/promotional tickets excluded
  • and your parking ticket of the actual day, this can be refunded for a AP Fantasy or Dream, always ask for it!^[7]
• Passport or other personal identification
• your freshest smile (or a goofy hairdo) to have the most loveable photo on your AP for the future

[edit] Sponsoring

Anything about sponsoring (or Parrainage in french) goes here. Most important that comes to my mind:

• You can sponsor someone else after 1 month of your AP's validity
• The person you sponsor must not been having an AP during the last 2 years
• Sponsoring forms are time limited, actual one can be found at DLRP website^[8]
• Your benefit: actually 12 extra months for 3 people sponsored
• Sponsoree's benefit: 10% discount on every type of AP
