Welcome to planDisney, Kenneth!
I would like to begin with a huge thank you from my military family to yours. “Thank You!”. A Disney vacation is our favorite way to enjoy some much needed family time. We try to visit any chance we get, but with an active duty schedule I know it can be a little tricky. The good news is there are a few ways to save, let’s go over those.
Unfortunately, the
military ticket offer and
military resort offer both end December 19, 2025. (If you can squeeze in a visit before that date, it might be worth it!). Otherwise, I recommend checking out the
current resort holiday offer. While this offer doesn’t extend the entire length of your visit, it does include your beginning dates. Fingers crossed these savings help you finalize your resort plans because visiting during
the holidays is truly magical. My family enjoyed the last week of December a few years ago at Animal Kingdom Lodge and this year we are coming back for a November visit so that we can enjoy the holiday kickoff. Seeing the decorations and holiday magic throughout the Walt Disney Resort was our favorite part, so we are so excited to see it again this year. We are also planning on enjoying a night partying with Mickey during
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
When it comes to your theme park tickets, I recommend visiting your local military ticketing office, or contacting
Shades of Green, to purchase your tickets. While you won’t be able to use the Disney Military Salute ticket, you can still find some savings on your tickets when purchasing them at any of these locations. I also recommend building your ideal vacation online and pricing it that way. Sometimes using the
Walt Disney World offers work out better than the military offer for our family, so the same might work for you!
Kenneth, I hope this helps answer your question. If there’s anything else we can help with please don’t hesitate to ask. Enjoy your trip and all the magical memories you’lll make!
Thank you again for your service.
