Hi, I have just been reading through this thread, and have added it to our long ongoing thread on the TA DLP forum about buying APs so our posters can read yours as well if they wish. Ours is currently on page 25.

A couple of things I don't think you have mentioned here yet -
If you are staying in a Disney hotel you can use APs on Blackout days, with your Hotel Easy Pass.
Although you get discount for room/breakfast only with AP or Club Actionnaires card, it can still be cheaper to book Disney hotels rooms with sites like Hotels.com or Expedia. The price only goes up by the local tax for each extra person you add.
If travelling by Eurostar ask them for a price for Disney hotel & park tickets for one person, as they can be cheaper than Disney quote. Then add others with APs to the room on arrival. I paid ¬0.99 per night to add myself to a room in the Cheyenne last October, and split the total room cost with my sister who was sharing. She used the 3 day park ticket included, and it cost us £150 each. Eurostar was £69 each return.
One thing to remember - although Santa Fe and Cheyenne rooms are the same (two doubles or double and bunks) the other hotels have some rooms with one Kingsize bed. These may be allocated to single travellers or couples. (caused a bit of a shock when I booked a Disney package for my adult son and myself, and they assumed Mr & Mrs were married... We found they had given us a Kingsize bed room in Sequoia Lodge instead of two doubles, and the hotel was full so we couldn't change rooms!). I did mention on my booking that we were celebrating my son's 21st birthday, but they didn't notice.
So if you are planning to add more people to your room paying the local tax on arrival, (up to room sleeping capacity) make sure you specify two double beds!
Last November I got a better price for 2 nts in Montana Room in Sequoia Lodge for 2 adults room/breakfast with Hotels.com than Disney quoted me with either AP or Shareholders discount. I bought my friend a Fantasy AP from CEM as it was cheaper than the best price I could find for a 3 day park ticket. We got the free child offer one as well (which we didn't need) but it says Free on the back and can only be redeemed with the adult one, so you can't give it to someone else to use for their child unless they are with you.
I have noticed someone currently selling 'Child Annual Passports' on ebay for £79 Fantasy, £89 Dream which sounds a bit suspect, as Disney don't sell separate child ones. Sites like CEM often have offers like the free one for child under 7 or the current offer of child under 12 for ¬35 with each adult one, but the adult and child tickets must be redeemed together. I have asked them where they get them from - waiting for a reply.
Have a look - what do you think?
