This summer<\/span>, Disneyland Paris partnered with the SkipTax app which allows UK guests to claim tax<\/span> refunds on any shopping they do in the parks. <\/p>\n This means any toys, gifts or clothes bought in the theme parks can be redeemed against tax and the money<\/span> saved will be sent straight to your bank account.<\/p>\n Disney fanatics have been sharing their experiences of the app and how much they've saved on a closed Facebook group for Brits.<\/p>\n Deeanne Banks from Plymouth visited the resort with her husband and two children in August this year and managed to claim back nearly \u00a360 with the app.<\/p>\n She said: "I heard about SkipTax through a Disney group on Facebook I joined to get tips and advice before our trip.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was straightforward once you sign up to the app. It asks what days you are staying in France<\/span>, and it gives you a countdown<\/span> to when you need to finalise all your receipts. <\/p>\n "When uploading your receipts onto the app, you just take a screenshot, and it tallies up for you and calculates how much tax you will get back. <\/p>\n "We spent around \u20ac500 on souvenirs and are due to get \u00a357 back, which we\u2019re happy with. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "It was very easy to use, and we would use it again.\u201d<\/p>\n Guests who download the app can set up an account and use it to scan any shopping receipts. <\/p>\n The app then allows you to scan a barcode at the airport, train station or ferry terminal and the money is usually back in your account by the time you arrive home. <\/p>\n It's not a well-known service but it's very useful and a great way to get money back from a trip.<\/p>\n Occasionally, guests can be stopped at customs to double-check their claims on their return home. <\/p>\n "If you have receipts and goods ready for inspection, there will be no issue confirming your refund. <\/p>\n But it\u2019s worth bearing in mind to keep all the goods in one place.<\/p>\n Susan Good from Essex also visited Disneyland Paris in August and managed to claim back \u00a328, despite being one of the unlucky ones stopped at customs.<\/p>\n She said: "At the French Eurostar station in Lille, I had to produce the receipts and all the goods for them to go through.<\/p>\n "The staff were friendly, and it didn\u2019t feel awkward or anything. I would 100 per cent use it again."<\/p>\n Susan only downloaded the app the day before her visit, after reading advice for fellow Disney fans on Facebook.<\/p>\n \u201cI uploaded seven receipts in total and spent around \u20ac220 and I\u2019ve \u201cIf you follow exactly what it says on the screen, it\u2019s really very easy to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n Others on the group advised that goods are strictly not supposed to be opened but several guests have had a slap on the wrist for wearing clothes purchased or for carrying toys.<\/p>\n One user commented: \u201cI didn\u2019t realise you weren\u2019t supposed to open the items. <\/p>\n "I was wearing my new Minnie Mouse top when I got stopped but, luckily, they were friendly about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Another said: \u201cI\u2019m so lucky I wasn\u2019t stopped at customs as I had all of my purchases packed into three different suitcases!\u201d<\/p>\nRead more on Disneyland Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n
