DDE card -- where do you buy it?

[mom3girls2007]

Can you buy the DDE card at WDW, or do you have to have it mailed to you?

Can you order it ahead if you have just the AP voucher? Or do you have to wait and get there and have the actual AP in hand?

I bought ours at DTD, shortest lines and it took less than 5 minutes to buy that an our APs

When you buy it at guest services is it an actual card or a temporary card?

All you need is the voucher. But it does seem easier just to buy it right at WDW--

I have heard conflicting info about the International Gateway entrance at Epcot. Can you buy the DDE card there or not? We are satying at BWI and it would really be a pain if we had to trek all the way to the entrance of Epcot or go to DTD on our arrival day. We will not be getting in until 12:30.

Yes you can. We brought ours there in December and my parents brought their card 2 weeks ago from the back gate of Epcot.

Thanks so very much! That puts me at ease!
