Hiya, Steven! Welcome to planDisney!
There's nothing like spending the most wonderful time of the year at The Most Magical Place on Earth! As a military spouse, I understand the commitment and sacrifice of our service members and nothing compares to the gift of spending time together. Truly, thank you for your service. I can't imagine a better place to spend quality time together during the holidays than at Walt Disney World Resort and I'm happy to help you plan!
Steven, eligible service members are active and retired members of the military and are offered great rates on both
Theme Park Tickets and select
Disney Resort Hotels. You can read more details on the
Walt Disney World Resort website through their
Special Offers page!
Currently, these special rates are offered through December 16, 2022. I know this isn't what you were hoping for, but I want you to know that you can have a full holiday experience at Walt Disney World Resort anytime from late November through December! In fact, my personal favorite time to visit during the holidays is the week after Thanksgiving. The temperatures are cooler, the crowds are lower, and the parks are lit up with stunning decorations and lights!
Military Salute Theme Park Tickets can be purchased either through your base or through the
Shades of Green website. Personally, I like to purchase them through Shades of Green and have the tickets mailed to me. Even though there's a small shipping fee, I love the fact that these tickets arrive to me already activated and ready to be used. All I have to do is link them to my
My Disney Experience account! Whenever you purchase your tickets, be sure to also make
Theme Park Reservations to secure your spot for the parks you wish to visit each day.
To book a Disney Resort Hotel with a military rate, all you need to do is
call a Cast Member. They're a little like real-life fairy godparents! Just let them know the dates you're traveling and they'll be able to tell you which resorts have an available military rate. Sometimes you're able to find even more availability if you're able to shift your dates a little bit. I like to try to call right when the phone lines open in the morning since their magic can occasionally be in high demand!
Steven, whenever you decide to visit, the magic will be waiting for you. I hope I was able to help you find the tickets you were looking for and that you'll be able to book a time that works for you and your travel party. If you have any other questions, please stop by again! After all, you've got a friend in me.
Faith, trust, and pixie dust -
