Employee Tickets

[hello kitty]

Hi! Hopefully someone here will know the answer to this one.....

We have friends who work on the DCL. On occasion they have given us free one day passes. These are little white plastic cards (think cc) with their name (cm) and expiration. They are to be used by the employee or gifted to friends/family. In the past I thought that you could only use it to enter one park per day, but my cousin went yesterday and said she was able to hop to multiple parks on one card.

Does anybody know what the deal is?

Thanks!

Currently, the use of a guest pass entitles the bearer to a 1-day park hopper pass. After the guest pass is inserted in the turnstile and is spit out, the Turnstile CM will give that person a parkhopper pass good only for that day.

Woohoo!

Do you know if this will last through December? Thank you!

It depends on the ticket expiration date. I suspect it will last through Decdember 2007, however, this is not written in stone.

We're going to use them December 10th-14th 2007. They expire December 2008.

You may be blacked out with employee passes. There are numerous times of the year when you cannot use an employee pass. Have the CM check before you plan to use them

There are NO blackouts for using the Guest Passes except for separate ticketed events like the P&PP, MNSSHP and MVMCP.

However, referring to "employee passes", there are blackout dates for a CM to use their Main Gate Pass to get friends/family in to the 4 WDW theme parks which is another situation altogether.

So what I have are guest passes?

Reread the information provided that already answers your question.

You have guest passes. These do not need the CM present to use them. These passes have no blackout dates.

The CM's Main Gate Pass can be used to get the CM + up to 3 guests in. This pass has blackout dates that apply and the CM must be present to get you in.

Hope this explains it.

I've used guest passes twice in the past (the latest in July), kept and used the card all day both times and park hopped the second trip. I used the one in July so I could go on the Train tour as the CM main gate passes don't work that early for guests and I was going with my brother who was a CM at the time.

The rest of the trip I was given a one-day Parkhopper when my brother got me in using his main gate pass.

I can confirm that guest passes aren't blacked out, the first time I used one was back in either 2000 or 2001 for New Years and as that is a blackout date for main gate passes I had to use a guest pass to get in.
