AP blockout dates

[greewe]

I'm thinking about buying AP passes for our trip in May 2008 (family vacation) and than another trip in March 2009 (conference). Does anyone know if the blockout dates for March are the same from year to year? Looking at the March 2008 calendar, it looks like 2 blockout dates during the end of our trip.

I'm trying to decide if it would be better to get 6 day passes this year and conference tickets next year or go with AP.

Thanks for any help or ideas!

They aren't exactly the same from year to year. They basically surround holidays. So, since Easter is different each year, the blockout dates surrounding it will change.

Make sense?

Yes, that makes sense! I'm trying to think what holiday is on March 21. I thought Easter was in April this year.

Opps! March 21 is Good Friday.

What would the totals be?

6 day hoppers + x days of conference tickets per person

vs

AP + possible ~$40 each blocked out day per person - discounts

Well, for me, March 21, 2008 is Purim. But Purim??? Its a minor festival day so it must be some other reason. LoL. Good Friday sounds more logical.
