Hi Dawn,
Thank you so much for your question. First off, as a fellow Sergeant in the Air Force, please tell your daughter-in-law that I said Welcome Home!
Disney's Armed Forces Salute Military discount is such an amazing program, and we are so excited that they have renewed it for yet another year. Here's the skinny on the tickets:
- The AFSM tickets are offered as 3 different options - 4 Day Park Hopper, 4 Day Water Park Fun and More, or 4 Day Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More.
- Currently, a 5 day ticket is not offered with this promotion.
- Each service member is allowed up to 6 tickets for immediate family members per promotional period.
- These tickets cannot be purchased at Walt Disney World ticket booths. You may purchase them at your local military base or at
Shades of Green, the Walt Disney Resort for military members.
- These tickets do have black out dates (click the link above to view them) but since you are arriving at the end of February, you won't have to worry about that.
Since you are traveling with a group of 9, I would suggest purchasing the 6 Armed Forces Salute Military tickets, and then purchasing 3 Magic Your Way Stars and Stripes tickets. These are the original military discounted tickets, but they don't pack the same type of savings as the AFSM tickets, so please keep that in mind when purchasing.
I hope this answered your question, Dawn. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask us at any time.
Have a fantastical Disney day!
