Hiya Kathryn,
Welcome back to planDisney and Aloha! We are honored to be a part of your planning journey once more and also thank you so much for your service! I’m the proud daughter of two veterans, and exclusive military tickets hold such a special place in my heart (once upon a time we were also stationed in O’ahu). My very first visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth was thanks to military tickets, and that spark has led to my love of Disney Parks today.
Great question, Kathryn, about theme park availability. I know when my parents purchased the
Disney Celebrates America Military Salute tickets this year, they also had a similar question. Currently, there doesn’t exist an exclusive calendar for military ticket holders to see Park availability. But there is
one for Annual Passholders since they do have to make reservations! I checked with a Cast Member, and they confirmed that this calendar shows the same availability you would see as a non-passholder and would give you an idea of reservation availability for your trip. The great news is that the calendar also shows availability up to July of next year, so way beyond the 60 days! Please take a look there, Kathryn, and if your dates look good to go, I suggest purchasing your theme park tickets and making your theme park reservations immediately after.
I hope this was helpful, Kathryn! Before I let you go, did you know that you can also save on
resort hotel offers if you are an eligible Service member? I’m not sure if you have already decided on your resort accommodations, but if not, be sure to check that out. If you are eligible and your dates align, then reach out to a Cast Member in
Tickets and Hotel Reservations to learn more. If for some reason you aren’t eligible or if your dates don’t align, check out Shades of Green as well! They have some of the largest standard rooms at Walt Disney World Resort, and also, as a Guest, you can take advantage of extra time in the theme parks as part of
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours (on select evenings)! If there is anything else you need, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
