2016 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon

[PanamaGT]

These "free" upgrades make me jealous -- we splurged for Newport Bay, since it was our first trip to DLP. Who knew?

Anyway, I have a question on tickets and was hoping someone here knew. We booked, as I said, Newport Bay way back in January for Fri, Sat, Sun night, checking out on Mon. The package came with 3-day park hopper tickets. Is there a set day you have to use these?

Do we have to go Fri/Sat/Sun to the parks? Or Sat/Sun/Mon? Or can we spread them out? We are staying in Paris the week after and kind of want to save one of the three days for later in the week (when hopefully the runners have mostly gone home).

Anyone have experience with this?

I don't know if the tickets they sold as part of the packages have specific validity dates. I had a quick look on the Disneyland Paris website and the tickets you can buy via this have to be used within on year of purchase, but then have to be used on consecutive days.

I only have experience with the standard vacation packages, as far as I remember, you get your tickets for the time frame you booked. I never had to make any changes and used them consecutively though (had a package twice and only AP since then), but I would email them to ask to be sure...

As far as I know they need to be used on consecutive days.

Thanks for sharing. There are a couple there that I would love.

That photo would explain why I could not picture this at all. Looks like it simply was not there on my previous visits.

From a map I have seen, it is on the righthand side, just before the lake.

It can also be seen on Google Maps, so it can't be too new.

I'm really hoping to get an upgrade! fingers crossed! We'll be staying 3-nights at Cheyenne and then 3-nights at Santa Fe (got a great deal on hotels.com)

I was also wondering about the tickets, so I called my travel agency. They told me that the park tickets included are only valid on the days you're staying. But that a TA in Denmark, so I would call you TA or Disneyland Paris directly.

Would LOVE the 21.1 km pin!! (if I get to finish..... pretty nervous since I haven't trained as much as I had hoped.)
Wondering if it will be pre-order or just at the expo?

 

[JolandaK]

I'm afraid I'm counting on no pre-order options since it's only 2,5 weeks till the event weekend. There's still so much info missing

 

[Shananana]

I hope we made a good choice to stay at New York... I'd love to have more info about the course!

And does everyone remember this:
Before picking up your race number at the Expo, your medical certificate must be validated by the organization (use the browser on your runner form). You will only need to present your official validation of registration (which you will receive by email a week before the event) and proof of identity. Please remember: if you forget it, or if the wording on it is incorrect, we will not be able to issue you with your race number.

When is THAT coming?

You just answered that question in your post! (which you will receive by email a week before the event)

We are 16 days from the event ;-)
