Another DDE question- ok actually 2

[LuluLovesDisney]

I am planning my next trip for August and I plan on buying PAP's and the DDE card. Now I know I must order the DDE card through the mail and wait a few weeks for its arrival, however, I was going to buy my PAP's when I got down to FL through Guest Relations.
So my question is- what should I do to ensure that both are active when I am down there? Any ideas?

And questions 2- is Teppanyaki on the DDE list? I did a search online and it is contained on one list and not the other one I found. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

You will need either an AP or an AP voucher to order the card as you are required to give them the number from the card.

You actually don't have to wait for the DDE card in the mail. When you get to Disney, purchase your annual pass as you planned. Once you have it in hand, call DDE and order your card. If you let them know that you are at Disney, they'll have a temporary dde card waiting for you at guest relations at Epcot by 5:30 PM. This card is good for three months or so. This is what I did and had no problems. My actual card came in the mail about four weeks after I ordered it.

The Japan restaurants do not accept the DDE.

I'm pretty sure, though, that DDE is closed on weekends so plan accordingly.
