Hi Catherine,
Before I say anything else, thank you for your service. I hope you and your husband are enjoying a well-earned retirement full of all the things that bring you peace and joy.
Many of us are waiting (somewhat) patiently for an announcement about a continuation of the Disney Military Salute program for 2025. Currently, the specially priced Walt Disney World Resort hotel rooms,
theme park admission tickets, and
Memory Maker for eligible Service Members expire in December of 2024. The details for the coming year have typically been released in the Fall. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the social media channels for
planDisney to know precisely when the announcement comes.
Assuming that the program stays mostly the same for next year, then yes! You and your husband are each eligible to purchase up to 6- specially priced theme park admission tickets of 4-, 5-, or 6- Days. You are free to purchase and use them throughout the year in whatever way works best for you! If the wish that your heart makes is for two vacations in the same year, then that dream can come true!
Catherine, did you know that a limited number of Walt Disney World Resort hotels are available at
special pricing for eligible Service Members as well? For the latest availability and to reserve your space,
give the friendly Cast Members a call at the phone number listed for Disney Resort Hotel Reservations as soon as you see the announcement for the 2025 offers. These rooms are booked quickly.
Finally, since you mentioned a visit in January, I want to share that something extraordinary happens early in the year at Walt Disney World Resort. It's the kind of thing that fills my heart with happiness and makes me so proud of the folks all around me. Of course, it's
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend by runDisney! If you happen to be enjoying your vacation January 9 -12, 2025, try to make it out to cheer on the runners in the morning. There is nothing like that boost of energy you get by watching runners chase their dreams. You might even find yourself registering for the very next runDisney event!
I hope that was helpful, Catherine. Please let us know what other questions pop up for you as you plan not one but TWO magical Disney vacations in 2025. We are here for you!
Adventure is out there,
Sally
