Hi Kim!
It's so wonderful to help a fellow Floridian and Annual Passholder! I too have the Gold Pass and have not heard of any changes to the blockout dates for 2016. I just double checked and this is what I found:
The following blockout dates apply to the Disney Gold Pass: December 17, 2015 - January 1, 2016, March 19, 2016 - April 1, 2016, December 19, 2016 - January 2, 2017.
Did you know?: The Walt Disney World Resort has some great offers on Disney Resort Rooms for Florida Residents and Annual Passholders! For more information, please visit this page:
Special Offers and Deals.
It has been a pleasure assisting you! Please feel free to send in any other questions you may have.
Thanks for sending you questions to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Happy Planning!
Yael
