Hi Penny!
First, thank you for your service to our country. I know how much precious vacation time means to our servicemembers, and I thank you for allowing me to help you plan the best use of yours. It is an honor.
I have fantastic news, Penny! Upgrading your
Disney Military Salute theme park admission ticket to a
Walt Disney World Annual Pass is a breeze. Just pop by Guest Relations, have a chat with the friendly Cast Members waiting to help you, and let them know you're ready to spend the next twelve months with Mickey & the crew. They'll take care of the rest!
You may select any Walt Disney World Annual Pass option that makes the most sense for your family and pay the difference between the value of your existing ticket and the total cost of your Annual Pass. Then, you are good to go!
There are just two things to keep in mind to keep things smooth sailing at upgrade time:
1. You must activate your Disney Military Salute theme park admission by stopping by Guest Relations with a valid military ID before first use. (Yes, this will result in two stops to complete the whole process, but it is worth it!) Then, once activated, you will need to use this ticket to enter a theme park for the first time.
2. You can complete your upgrade anytime between your first visit and the last day of your Disney Military Salute theme park admission ticket. Just remember, you need to have at least one more day left on your ticket when you do the upgrade. Once you've used your ticket for the last time, it's no longer eligible.
Does that all make sense? If you still have any questions about the process (or anything else, really!), come back and visit us here at planDisney. We are here for you!
Until then, please be well!
Adventure is out there,
Sally
