Disneyland Resort Main Entrance Pass Blackout Date Changes

[glendalais]

(Since all C&IP Participants, as well as many C&IP Alumni who have gone Seasonal/Campus Rep hold Main Entrance Passes, I think it's appropriate to post this here as well)

The Disneyland Resort in California, as part of the Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort Special Event, has introduced several new Halloween-themed offerings for their Guests, such as Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy and the Halloween Screams Fireworks Spectacular. These new experiences are proving to be very popular with their Guests.

As the popularity of these offerings is expected to grow, and in order to ensure the best possible Guest Experience, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has made alterations to the 2009 Blackout Dates for Disneyland Resort Cast Member ID Cards, as well as all Main Entrance and Silver Main Entrance Passes.

The following dates are now Blocked Out for Cast Member Complimentary Entry:

• Friday, 9 October
• Friday, 16 October
• Friday, 23 October
• Friday, 30 October
• Saturday, 31 October

Disneyland Resort Cast Members may not use their Cast Member ID Cards for entry on these dates. In addition, Cast Members, Employees and Operating Participants of The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies may not use their Main Entrance or Silver Passes to sign themselves or their Guests into a Disneyland Resort Theme Park.

Previously issued Cast Complimentary Tickets may be used, but are subject to the same capacity limits as all other tickets.

Please note that this Blockout applies to both Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure Park
