Hello, Tamara! Welcome to planDisney! I feel like the White Rabbit saying, "Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!" because your adventure to the
Walt Disney World Resort will be here before you know it!
While there will be some classic attractions you may remember from back in the day, there are also some brand-new highlights awaiting you around every corner of the resort. In recent years, some of my absolute favorite additions have been
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT,
Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park,
Avatar Flight of Passage in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney's Hollywood Studios. And that’s only the beginning of your trip down the rabbit hole. You're bound to find some new and old favorites as you explore this whole new world. It truly feels like stepping into Wonderland!
Current offers for US Military Members include 4, 5, and 6-Day Military Salute Tickets, as well as the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, which allows you to visit again and again through December 18, 2026, with some blockout dates. These offers are usually available for active or retired U.S. military members, including National Guard, Reservists, Coast Guard, Space Force, and commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and NOAA, as well as their spouses with a valid military ID. If you’re eligible and ready to book, Military Salute tickets can be purchased at participating U.S. military base ticket offices. You can also explore staying at
Shades of Green, which is a military-exclusive resort located right at Walt Disney World. Reservations can be made
directly through their website or by
calling their reservation line. There are also
some discounts currently available for eligible Guests when booking a stay at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. Some of these offers almost feel like a little “Merry Unbirthday” gift to help make your trip even more magical.
Tamara, did you know that the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is currently taking place through June 1, 2026? At this festival, you'll be able to see exquisite gardens and topiaries, catch a show from the
Garden Rocks Concert Series, and grab some delicious food and drinks at the Outdoor Kitchens. And don't sleep on Butterfly Landing, where you can observe many beautiful butterfly species. You might even get lucky and have one land on you! It all feels like something straight out of a “golden afternoon.”
Enjoy your visit! If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you. After all, it’s no use going back to yesterday, because your next adventure is waiting.
Curiouser and curiouser,
Matt
