Magical Greetings, Emily! Welcome to planDisney, where you've got a friend in me! Let's get started planning your visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
Like you, my family appreciates the military offers Walt Disney World has given our community, from Disney Military Salute Tickets or military rates at select Disney Resort Hotels. So, let's dive into the Salute tickets. The 2024 blockout dates for Military Salute Tickets are as follows:
- March 24, 2024-April 6, 2024
- November 24, 2024-November 30, 2024
Park Hopper Plus tickets are great because not only do you have the magical perk of visiting multiple parks in one day, but you can also visit a water park, swing a club at Disney's OakTrail Golf Course, and play a round of mini golf at either Disney's Winter Summerland or Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Courses. All of these activities sound like the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. I spoke to a Cast Member about using these benefits at the beginning of your visit, and unfortunately, you have to wait until the blockout dates are over.
So, let's talk about what you can do instead on those dates! Plan a day at Disney Springs; you can shop, dine, and have fun! Your visit will coincide with the holiday season, and Disney Springs usually features a fun Christmas Tree Stroll, and it's fun walking around Disney Springs checking out each tree trimmed to a different theme. Make a dining reservation for brunch or dinner (Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is a personal favorite!) and gather the energy needed to shop! World of Disney is one of my favorite stores, if there is a particular Disney souvenir you want, it's probably there! Finally, pick up sweets to snack on throughout your visit. I recommend chocolates from The Ganachery, or cookies from Gideon's Bakehouse.
Emily, thanks for visiting planDisney again. Send me questions at any time before your visit, I am always happy to help!
Magic Awaits!
