disabledDates

An array of "dates" to disable, as strings. These strings will be used to build a dynamic regular expression so they are very powerful. Some examples:

["03/08", "09/16"] would disable those days for every year

["03/../2006"] would disable every day in March 2006
["^03"] would disable every day in every March
