Hi there, Lauren!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for your question! Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan/Dolphin hotels, Shades of Green Resort, and select hotels on Walt Disney World Resort can participate in
Early Theme Park Entry, while Guests staying at Deluxe tier Disney Resort hotels, Swan/Dolphin, and Shades of Green can participate in
Extended Evening Hours on select nights.
As a military spouse, I have been able to link
Disney Military Salute tickets and
Magic Your Way tickets purchased through MWR and still participate in Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours when staying at Disney Resort hotels and Shades of Green. For
Lightning Lane Pass (which debuts July 24th), Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel, Swan/Dolphin, and Shades of Green will be able to participate in reserving attraction experiences seven days before checking in, and all other Guests will be able to reserve experiences three days before. As long as you have a resort reservation from one of the above, you should be good to go!
One final military perk I want to mention is the
Memory Maker discount. It is currently priced at $98 (subject to change) for service members who qualify to purchase the Salute tickets. With Memory Maker, you receive all digital downloads for photos you take, whether they are character photos, with a PhotoPass photographer, or select attraction photos. Visit Guest Relations at any of the theme parks or the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs to purchase.
Thanks for visiting planDisney, Lauren! If you need additional pixie dust planning your visit, please
send me questions at any time. You've got a friend in me!
Choose Magic!
Frances
