Saw this online today.

PARIS (Reuters) - The cheapest way to visit Disneyland Paris may be to buy a single share in Euro Disney, the company that operates the theme park.

Shareholders who trekked to Euro Disney's annual meeting on Thursday at Marne-la-Vallee, about an hour by train or car from central Paris, were given two same-day tickets for the firm's parks there, the Magic Kingdom and Walt Disney Studios.

They also received two cuddly toys from the "Lion King" film, a restaurant voucher and two other tickets valid from June 27 to July 27.

Euro Disney shares were trading at 0.45 euro each on Thursday. The current entry price at the parks is 49 euros ($59.42) for an adult and 39 euros for a child.

We're shareholders and received our invitation to attend the AGM, but it would have cost us a fortune to get there, plus hotel bills and spending money. They did offer us 20% (?) off hotel rooms for the night though.

It is worth joining the shareholders club (15 shares minimum) just to get the 10% off rooms and restaurants if you're going to go regularly. You also get to have breakfast in the Salon Mickey room at the entrance. While everyone else queues to get through the turnstiles, you knock on a door at the side, show your card and they take you in, feed you, swipe your tickets and send you back out into the park via another exit door. :D

If you have and pay with a Visa Platinum card, you also get a booklet full of discount vouchers when you check in. :thumbs:

Paula, do you happen to know how much DLP AP's are?

Can you also talk me through 'how to buy shares'?

It's never gonna replace WDW in my heart, but it's easy to get to for me, I think I'd get my money's worth from AP's and Shareholder benefits! :D

[Redkop]

are there AP's for DLP........if there are, i think we would be intrested in them, with the fact Easy Jet fly there i could persuade mrs redkop that we could have some weekends away there whilst saving for 2007 :D

[Whitequeen]

Yep!! Saw them advertised on my way out last year (1 year today in fact!!) can't remember any details though!! :rolleyes:

There not as good as WDW AP's (room discounts etc.) but the Euro isn't as good as the $ and the individual tickets are quite costly! :(

[Redkop]

actually if you go into the DLP website and change your country to france you can see the AP's........working out the french it looks like 89 euro's for a pass that has blackout days so its valid for 325 days........119 euro's for a fantasy pass and 159 euro's for a pass with no blackout days..........my head hurts now.......kids are charged the same as adults

[Whitequeen]

£107 for the 'no blackout one!!! Not bad!!! :thumbs:

I'll dig the shareholders info out for you later. I'm just in the middle of a crisis my websites gone down, my IT guy is moving house and i'm having a hissy :hissy:

[PaulaK]

Shareholders also get invited to various events, like when they started the 'need magic' campaign, there was a special private night in the park. :)

There's some background and info here (http://www.eurodisney.com/index.php?idPage=11363&lng=en) to be looking at. We bought our shares through Barclays because we'd used them before and we bank with them.
