Ap help, 2013 blackout days & other Qs

[Sparkly Pooh Bear]

Hi all, getting ready for our next visit and have a few queries;

Q1. could someone please post a link for 2013 blackout dates, I can only find the 2012 ones.

Q2. We are staying 19-23 march and I booked sequoia lodge in my name and our 2 year olds. I want to add partner and 12 year old to the room and get ap for them but the more I think of it there might be a slim chance I could go within the year just myself and 12 year old (very dlim but who knows) So basically can I get ap in my name (rather than my partners) even though I will have ticket in my name from my hotel booking, can I allocate that ticket to my partner?

Q3. I am either going to get ap with promoparcs or cem - is there any difference, I'm from Ireland so will have to pay postage for tickets. I understand cem has 20 joining fee and pp has 14 club card thing - us that the only difference?

If you're staying in a Disney hotel, the blackout dates don't apply.

Simply show your easypass (which the hotel give you) and your annual pass at the gates and they'll let you in.

You can stick any name on the hotel booking. The ticket you'll get through the hotel can be used by anyone. On our last trip I booked the hotel in my name but used my AP and gave my gf the package ticket.

I can't help you with q3 but I'm sure Carrie will be able to help.

Thanks for the quick reply, I had no idea blackout dates didn't apply if staying in a dlp hotel! Happy days!

You're welcome.

It's worth noting that whilst the Easypass will let you in on blackout days (with an AP), it does not cover you for the 2nd and 3rd day of Francilien ownership. So you wouldn't be able to buy one of those.

CEM has cheaper postage than Promoparcs so it works out the same in the end.

I'd always go with CEM as their customer service is superior and they have a wider range of products working with some very big (trustable) TO and travel groups

Sorry Carrie - no quite awake yet! Mis-read your original post and thought it was for the Dream Annual Pass!
