Hi Paoakalani! Welcome to planDisney.
From my military family to yours, I’d like to extend my gratitude for your service to our country. I understand how important together time is for our military families, and I’m so happy to hear you’re planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort.
Like you, I have 2020
Military Promotional Theme Park Tickets that I wasn’t able to use last year. Those tickets have been extended to September 2021, and you will need to call and speak to a Cast Member to request an extension on the expiration date. Call the Existing Tickets number at (407) 566-4985 to explain your situation and request an extension. While requests can’t be guaranteed, it’s been my experience that the Cast Member may be able to grant your wish. If not, you should be able to pay the difference between the 2020 and the 2021 Military Promotional Theme Park Tickets, converting your ticket to a 2021 military ticket.
Once your tickets are straightened out, you’ll want to make your
Disney Park Pass reservations. As part of the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, Guests must have a Disney Park Pass reservation for each theme park day. Since you have a Park Hopper ticket, take a look at the
Park Hopper Option website to learn how Park Hopping is working these days – you’ll need a Disney Park Pass reservation for the first park you visit, and then will be able to park hop once Park Hopper hours open, as long as the park you’re heading to hasn’t reached capacity.
October 2021 is a fantastic choice for your visit, Paoakalani!
The World’s Most Magical Celebration kicks off on October 1, and it will be an epic party to celebrate the Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary. Be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest news and updates as your visit approaches. There are sure to be delectable treats, special offerings, anniversary costumes, and more! You are going to be in the middle of all that magic – hurray!
Thanks for stopping by with your question today. I’m sending pixie-dusted wishes that you’re able to extend your military ticket expiration. If you think of any questions as you count down the days to your visit, please come back and see us! It’s always a pleasure to help a fellow Guest with their Disney dreaming.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
