Why hello there, Mike! Welcome to planDisney!
Springtime is my absolute favorite season to visit
Walt Disney World Resort. As soon as I see the palm trees and sunny April skies, I suddenly change from Sadness into Joy! You'll be just in time to experience everything that
The World's Most Magical Celebration has to offer, from the
celebratory treats to the glowing
Beacons of Magic in each of the parks. And Mike, the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be blooming just in time for your visit! With so much to see and do, you're sure to have an extra special trip. I also want to thank you for your military service! As a military spouse, I know how cherished quality time is and I can't think of a better place to spend that time together than at The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Mike, eligible service members are active and retired members of the military and are offered great rates on
Theme Park Tickets and select
Disney Resort Hotels. You can read more details on the
Special Offers page!
You can purchase your Theme Park Tickets either through your base or through
Shades of Green. Even though there is a small shipping fee, I like to purchase my tickets through the Shades of Green website because they arrive already activated and ready to go! When you get your tickets, be sure to link them to your
My Disney Experience account and make
Theme Park Reservations so you can be sure you're able to visit your desired parks each day! I do want to let you know that the limit for military-rate tickets is six per year, so one person in your travel party will likely have to purchase a non-military
Theme Park Ticket. I would recommend making this a child's ticket and trying to purchase a ticket that matches as closely as possible (the same number of days with a Park Hopper option added).
You can find military rates on Disney Resort Hotels by
calling a Cast Member. They're a little like real-life fairy godparents and do all they can to sprinkle some extra pixie dust on your situation! With the wave of a wand, they will be able to help you find just the right resort that is available at a military rate. I've found that if I'm flexible with my dates and can shift them around a bit, even more resort availability pops up! I like to try to call right when the phone lines open in the morning since their magic can sometimes be in high demand. You may also want to check out the accommodations available at
Shades of Green, too!
Mike, I hope I was able to help you get started on your enchanted springtime visit. If you have any other questions, please stop by again. After all - you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
Michelle
