Hey there, Elizabeth, and welcome to planDisney! I hope you're having a wonderful day. Thank you so much for bringing your questions to us. As a military spouse, I want to thank you and your family for your service. There's no better place than Walt Disney World Resort for making lifelong memories together. I see your trip is right around the corner!
The most important thing right now is to determine which discount will provide your family with the most significant benefit. A key question: Are members of your extended family also Florida residents? To purchase and activate Florida Resident tickets, each person age 18 or older must provide
proof of Florida residency. If that applies to your group, the Florida Resident ticket could be a great option. Be sure to check out the
special offers for Florida residents as well.
Disney is currently offering some fantastic deals for U.S. military personnel and their families. Have you checked out the
Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket? It allows for multiple visits at a fantastic price. I recommend comparing the Military Salute tickets to the Florida Resident ticket to ensure you get the best value for your group. To activate the Military Salute tickets, you'll need to be present with your valid military ID when activating all tickets in your party. Also, remember that
theme park reservations are required for all Military Salute tickets.
To activate these tickets, you'll need to go to
Guest Relations, located at the entrance of each theme park, or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs.
Another great benefit: Disney offers a special rate on
Memory Maker for military members and their families. With Memory Maker, you’ll be able to keep all of your
Disney PhotoPass photos and videos from your trip. I highly recommend it! There are also outstanding
discounts on Disney Resort hotels available for military families. To book these,
call Disney and ask a Cast Member about Military Salute room discounts. And don't forget to check out Shades of Green, the military-exclusive resort right on Disney property. My family loves the Exchange and the ice cream there!
Elizabeth, I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to help with your planning.
Your personal planning companion,
Michelle
