Hiya, Scott! Welcome to planDisney!
From one military family to another, I can't think of a better place to spend time together than at
Walt Disney World Resort! Quality time is truly the best gift and I'm so happy to hear that you're making plans to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth in January of 2023. I'd love to help you with your magical plans!
Scott, there are currently Special Offers for Eligible Service Members on
Disney Military Salute Tickets and select
Disney Resorts Collection hotels through December 16, 2022. These offerings are never guaranteed for the following year, but I will be keeping my fingers crossed along with you! I haven't heard of a date that these may begin being offered for 2023, but historically, I've noticed them being released in the fall timeframe (usually sometime around September through November). I'd keep an eye on the
Special Offers page as well as the
Disney Parks Blog, which has the most up-to-date news and announcements!
My best recommendation would be to book your room-only Disney Resorts Collection hotel for January 2023 without park tickets. If a Special Offer for military members gets released for 2023, you can
call a Cast Member to see if they can apply this offer to your current reservation. I'd suggest trying to scoop this up quickly since the number of offers is limited. Take a peek at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar as well! If it appears as though some dates in January start getting booked up before you're able to purchase Disney Military Salute Tickets, you may want to consider purchasing Theme Park Tickets through the Walt Disney World Resort website (without a military discount) so you're able to make your Theme Park Reservations using the
Disney Park Pass system. This is an important step to reserve the parks you wish to visit on each day of your trip!
I hope I was able to help you with your question today, Scott! If anything else pops up, please visit us again. After all, you've got a friend in me!
To infinity and beyond!
