Question

I am using Bootstrap 3 Datepicker for that I am trying following

<div class='input-group date datetimepicker1'>
     <input type='text' name="actEndDate" placeholder="End Date"  class="form-control" required/>
    <span class="input-group-addon">
        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
    </span>
</div>

and calling it by following

 $(".datetimepicker1").datetimepicker();

Its working fine

   $('.datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
        defaultDate: "11/1/2013"

    });

I see this way for your question:

<script type="text/javascript">
            $(function () {
                $('#datetimepicker5').datetimepicker({
                    defaultDate: "11/1/2013",
                    disabledDates: [
                        moment("10/2/2013"),
                        new Date(2013, 11 - 1, 21),
                        "11/22/2013 00:53"
                    ]
                });
            });
        </script>

Setting defaultDate parameter is the right method to resolve it.
