Hi there, Robert! Welcome to planDisney!
First, I want to truly thank you for your service. As a military spouse, I know the level of dedication and commitment offered by our services members and their families. Quality time together is a gift and, to me, I can't think of a better place to spend that time than at
Walt Disney World Resort! Your trip is sure to be extra special since you'll be able to explore everything that
The World's Most Magical Celebration has to offer. Be sure to check out the
Beacons of Magic in the parks and pick out a few
celebratory sweets to enjoy!
I'm happy to hear that you'll be staying at
Shades of Green while you're on your magical vacation! Walt Disney World Resort also loves to salute its military families with
Special Offers on theme park tickets as well. Eligible Service Members can purchase their
Military Salute Tickets either through Morale, Welfare, and Recreation at their local base or ordered through Shades of Green.
Personally, I enjoy purchasing our Military Salute Tickets through
Shades of Green because they're mailed to us already activated and ready to be used! No matter how you order your tickets, you'll want to make sure that you
link your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account and make theme park reservations through the
Disney Park Pass system! This is the best way to make sure you've reserved the parks you wish to visit on each day of your trip.
Robert, you have the option of a
1-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket or a
4- or 5-Day Military Salute Ticket. Each of these tickets have options that will change the price, such as adding Park Hopper Plus to the Magic Your Way ticket or upgrading to Disney Genie+ service for the Military Salute Tickets. I think you will get the best value and special rate with the Military Salute Tickets, but you can take a look at these ticket options to select the ones that will best fit you and your travel party!
Before your trip, you'll also want to make sure that you download and explore the
My Disney Experience app. This app allows you to check wait times for attractions, view park maps, and even
mobile order food - talk about "phenomenal cosmic powers!"
If you have any other questions leading up to your trip, I hope you visit us again. After all, you've got a friend in me!
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow!
Michelle
