Hi Tracey!
Welcome to planDisney! As my friend Princess Tiana would say, your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is getting
closer and closer every day. It won’t be long until you’re eating your favorite Mickey-shaped snack and strolling Main Street U.S.A. as you begin your magical vacation!
Several
special offers are currently available to eligible U.S. military personnel for the remainder of 2026, and I love that you added the
Park Hopper Plus Option to your tickets so you can enjoy even more of what Walt Disney World offers during your stay! Whether you purchased a 4-Day, 5-Day, or 6-Day Military Salute Ticket, or the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, which includes unlimited visits through December 18, 2026 (blockout dates apply), you'll need
theme park reservations to visit Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. While reservations are not required for your visit to the
water park in the morning, you will need to make a reservation for the first
theme park you plan to visit in the afternoon. If you're visiting more than one theme park, you only need a reservation for the first park that you enter each day.
As you're hopping between theme parks during your vacation, Tracey, I hope that you have a chance to explore the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Before heading to the festival, I like to check out the
Foodie Guide on the Disney Parks Blog to determine my must-try snacks and drinks. Another highlight of the festival is the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series where you can catch some amazing performances - and it’s included with your admission to EPCOT! If you want to save time waiting in line to secure your seats, you can check availability for an
Eat to the Beat Dining Package, which includes a great meal at an EPCOT restaurant and vouchers for reserved seating at one of the performances that night. With so much happening at EPCOT this time of year, it’s a great opportunity to use your
Park Hopper Option and visit several evenings during your vacation!
I hope this information helps, Tracey, and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!
Cheers!
