Need info on AP and DDE

[NJ2Boardwalk]

I am planning on buying AP for our upcoming Sep trip and want to join DDE. Does anyone know do I have to have the pass in my hand to join? If so, how can I get it before I leave. If I'm reading the info correctly, if you order on-line you only get a voucher to turn it.

You must have either the voucher or actual pass in order to purchase the DDE. They ask for numbers off the bottom of either to verify that you have indeed purchased the AP. Last time, I ordered the vouchers online and used that to order the DDE card.

If you purchase an AP on site, and do not have the voucher in advance, it is possible to get a temporary DDE card. Also this works if there is very little lead time between your ordering the card and your arrival.

1. Call the DDE office at 407-566-5858 between 8:30am and 4:00pm Monday to Friday (except Holidays) and give them your name, the string of letters and numbers on the bottom of the pass (starting with a "W") and your credit card information. If you are a Florida Resient and not an AP holder they will ask for your Florida Driver's license (or State ID) number.

2. Starting at 5:30pm that day, and any time it is open, you can go to the Guest Relations Window outside Epcot's Main Entrance (On your right as you face Spaceship Earth) with a photo ID and you will be given an envelope.

3. The envelope will have in it a temporary card which expires 30 days from the date of the request and a sheet of paper listing all locations which currently accept the card.

4. The plastic embossed card whould arrive at your home within a month. The expiration date on the embossed card will be either the last day of the current month in the next year, or if you ordered it late enough in the month it will be the last day of the following month the next year.

Also, if you purchase it between the first and about the 7th of a month it will expire the next year on the last day of the same month. If your purchase is after the 10th, the expiration will be the last day of the following month the next year. If you order it between the 7th and 10th is anybody's guess.

I would order your AP now, and as soon as you have that, order the DDE card. You have to allow for mailing time for both.

I want my new DDE card for Sept, so I plan on ordering it at the very beginning of August so it willhave an end of sept. expiration trip so I can use it next sept too!
