Yup, understand all of that.
I'm not talking about an inability to get into the park during a blockout date but the inability to access a pretty big perk. If I were a silver passholder, I wouldn't mind paying for a day ticket to enter the park so I could use my AP status to access a preview. My question regarding validity is about if that means you are currently an AP holder OR valid for access to the park itself. So, if it's the former, someone with a silver pass should still be able to register provided they have a valid ticket.
The precedent is that you have access to your AP perks even if you do not currently have access to the park with your AP (merchandise/dining discounts and, if you have a gold pass, photopass). Granted, this is a special circumstance. Just curious if anyone KNOWS from experience or employee knowledge.
I'm going to drop this now - I feel like I'm pulling this a little off topic. Carry on
