Welcome to planDisney, Mark,
It’s so nice to meet you! I’ll be more than happy to help answer your question so that you can kick-start your vacation planning. As a military spouse myself, I’m more than happy to share the available discounts that you have as a DoD Civilian.
While checking in with my fellow panelist,
Amy, I found that there are special savings available to you through Shades of Green. Shades of Green is an Armed Forces Recreation Center that is located at Walt Disney World Resort. I recommend checking out the discounted
Magic Your Way tickets available to purchase online. As you look at your ticketing options, I also recommend double-
checking your eligibility on the Shades of Green website. Once everything looks good on your end, you will be able to purchase your tickets and have them sent to you in the mail. They will already be activated so that you can head straight into the theme parks!
After you’ve taken care of your tickets, I encourage you to look at all the
Disney Resort options. There are so many options to choose from depending on your vacation wants. My family is an “in the parks” family so we usually book our stay at a value resort. One of our favorites is
Pop Century because of the convenience of the Skyliner. It’s just another form of transportation that helps get you to and from the theme parks.
Mark, I hope this provides some insight into the available discounts through Shades of Green. I also recommend checking the
special offers Walt Disney World currently has available. Sometimes, we find those deals to be better for our family rather than using our military discount. It truly just depends on what you want to do and experience during your visit.
Thanks again for stopping by, Mark. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for any more help when it comes to planning. Resort options, dining recommendations, “must-try snacks”, I’m here to help answer all that and more!
Have a Magical visit,
Shantel
