Hi Frank,
Welcome to planDisney! I am always so grateful for the opportunity to serve those who serve our country, so thank you for dropping in with your question. Thank you for all that you do.
Ok, I like the way you think, Frank! The only thing better than the specially priced
Disney Military Salute theme park tickets for an explorer is a
Disney Annual Pass. We have traveled using both options for many years, depending on our schedule. I have to share with you that the ease and convenience of a Disney Annual Pass is unmatched. We love that we never have to play the, "Should I use a 'day' for a visit lasting a few hours or is it better to make this a Resort-only day" game. I have even been known to pop into Magic Kingdom Park for popcorn and stroll back to my balcony at
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort to enjoy it! I think you will love this type of vacation freedom.
When you are ready to make the switcheroo, grab your military ID and stop by Guest Relations at any of the four theme parks or the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. You will be asked to pay the difference between the current Disney Military Salute published prices and the current rate for your chosen Disney Annual Pass, plus tax.
Frank, be sure to make this upgrade while you still have days remaining for use on your Disney Military Salute ticket! You cannot upgrade a fully used ticket of any kind.
I hope that answers your question! Come on back and let us know how else we can help you plan the perfect year of Walt Disney World Resort moments. We are here for you!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
