I have a few DD questions:

1. To get the special rates for Dapper Day what are the conditions? It looks like it is on a Saturday so if we wanted to stay Friday thru Thursday would we be able to get the special rate?

2. For the convention priced tickets what are the conditions on the tickets? I've heard of some people getting questioned about their attendance.

3. All in all it sounds like fun and seeing the great rates makes it look like a good time to go but how does the event effect the crowds on that day? And how about the following week?

I believe as long as the actual Dapper Day/night is included in your stay, you get the rate within a certain number of days before and after actual event date.

2. For the convention priced tickets what are the conditions on the tickets? I've heard of some people getting questioned about their attendance. This I can't speak to, as I'm an AP holder so never use these tickets.

3. All in all it sounds like fun and seeing the great rates makes it look like a good time to go but how does the event effect the crowds on that day? And how about the following week? It will be PACKED on the actual event date. At least, that's been my experience. The following week will be just fine, especially since it's mid-week dates...but that Saturday will be wall-to-wall madhouse. Be prepared for crowds and bring a lot of patience.
 
What are the dates you're asking about?

The up coming Spring DD Feb 28th and March 1st or DD September 2015?

I'm not sure if there will be rooms left for the 2015 Spring dates.

We were there for Dapper Day in Sept last year so my answers are based on that.

1.We made reservations over the phone for the GCH and just told them we were attending Dapper Day and would like their Dapper Day convention rate. They only set aside a certain number of rooms for this and they are for the whole week prior to the event and the week after it. You may have trouble getting the rate if all the rooms set aside have been booked.They did not at anytime ask for any convention registration or proof that we were participating. Dapper Day last year was on a Friday and we stayed Saturday thru Wed.

2.We picked up our 5 Day Hoppers at the hotel desk when we registered. The tickets are dated so they can only start to be used during the two week period of Dapper Day, the week before and the week after. After first use you have 13 days before they completely expire.We were never questioned about attending Dapper Day and we did not dress up in vintage clothing. I also read here about people being questioned but that was not our experience last year.

3. The crowds weren`t too bad. Weekends were busy but midweek was good. For example , Indy was at times a 20 minute wait midweek , but expect more crowding later in the day as locals get off work and out of school. There was a heat wave while we were there with temps close to and over 100 so that may have affected attendence. Except for the heat dragging us down it was all good and fun to watch some of the guests dressed up

Dapper Day special rates are likely to continue for both Spring and Fall.

Disney also provides special hotel rates for Gay Days, the first weekend of October. This event has been held for many years and is quite popular. Over the last few years, Gay Days has added some restrictions to hotel booking: guests must register on the Gay Days website (only to access the hotel reservation page, there is no registration list at the hotels), and all reservations must include at least one day of the actual Gay Days Weekend (Friday to Sunday).

Dapper Day might someday implement restrictions similar to Gay Days, but currently there are none.

Do you have to use the Gay Days web site to reserve a room or can you just call Disney Hotels like you can with Dapper Days

You should be able to call and ask for the Gay Days Rate.
Both Dapper Day and Gay Days use the same Disney Meetings site for online booking, Gay Days has a simple sign-in before the link to the Disney page.
