2017 Gold Pass Blockout Dates?

[soxyes]

Does anyone know what the blockout dates are for the Gold Pass for 2017? I know I saw Jan 1-2, but assuming the pass is still offered for purchase, I'm guessing there are more.
Thanks in advance!

I am also looking for December of 2017 blockout dates for the Gold Pass and the list that I have found doesn't seem to go that far...

Disney's block-out calendar is updated monthly with a new month so that it is usually showing dates no more 11 to 12 months from any given date, so curently it is showing only through Sep 2017. I am guessing the end date will be Jan 1, 2018, the New Years holiday. It was Jan 1 this year. It is Jan 2, 2017 because that is the official holiday since Jan 1 is on a Sunday. Start date not clear but this year will be Dec 19, making 15 total days through Jan 2, so I suspect it will be Dec 18, 2017.

With the 13 month on the new passes they need to get the info updated.

With that I definitely agree, and even before they should have been going further out. It would help if they would just come out and say it is always going to to be the two weeks around Easter that start with the Saturday eight days before Easter (as thus far it has been for that period) and that it will be 15 days at Christmas time ending Jan 1, or Jan 2 when it is the holiday. Instead, Disney just keeps it vague like it always wants to hold out the option to surprise everyone and make the block-out dates six months of the year (possibly soon after it does a price increase).

bummer this affects my trip next year. I was hoping for the 19th to be the start date. Not sure what to do, maybe have to pay for the non blackout dates.

Is the gold pass worth it?

Sure is for us. We don't go during Easter or Christmas/New Year's. Too crowded for us.
