Unbelievable what people will do...
Stop the presses....I totally misunderstood what they were doing there.
I have an explanation They have a deal in Europe that when an annual passholder brings with him someone who wants to buy an annual pass, the new passholder gets a discount as well as the current passholder. If 3 passes were bought this way, the original passholder gets a free annual pass for the following year! The list was to see if anyone can take advantage of the trips that the passholders are taking... Sorry  to save money. I am a member of a German Disney forum and just now I saw a thread where all the annual passholders for DLP are listed and then if someone goes to Disney Paris, when the passholder is at home, they share that annual pass with them for their share of the cost of said pass. Does that make sense the way I wrote it? I am flabbergasted this really takes the cake. Unbelievable

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
How would that work? Don't they have a name on the pass and use the finger scan?? What if one person loses the pass how do they go get the replacement??? Sounds too complicated to me.
Wow...Can't people just follow the rules???

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
OMG, how does that work?!?! I know with our annual passes here you have to do the finger scan and once I accidentially gave Daniel my card and it beeped red when he tried to scan it. We had to switch passes and then it let us in fine.
That's CRAZY that people would risk that!

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
I too am surprised that Disney doesn't have any sort of security screening to prevent this.

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
My AP had my name printed on it and I had to do the finger scan every time I used it. I think the pass even said I had to show a photo ID if asked. People amaze me.....

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
I was so, so shocked. I wonder if they have actually tried this yet or if this is something they think they should try. Awful!

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
Are they serious or is it a hoax? May be someone just trying to pull a fast one.

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
I haven't been to DLP but I would assume that they use the finger scanner also, right? That's just so odd...

Re: Unbelievable what people will do...
I would be shocked if they didn't have a good security system in place there in DLP. France has major terrorism issues going on that I would assume had to be taken into account, besides the cheating money from Disney.

Wow, that's just appalling. I can't believe they could get away with something like that.
