Welcome to planDisney, Victoria!
We're so glad you stopped by with your question, and I am happy to help guide you down the right path! There are two ticket types offered to servicemembers, and they are the
Disney Military Salute tickets and
Magic Your Way tickets. Salute tickets have blockout dates, one of which will occur 24-30 November, which is during Thanksgiving week. Magic Your Way tickets expire 14 days after the date of their first use and must be used before December 31, 2025. If you have Salute tickets, I recommend trying to reschedule your visit to Walt Disney World before or after the blockout dates begin, as they are nonrefundable. You can also call the
Existing Tickets office, and a friendly Cast Member can relay what options may be available.
If you can, I recommend pushing your visit to the first week of December. The crowd levels are pretty moderate, and you can enjoy the magical start of the holiday season at Walt Disney World.
If you haven't purchased tickets to
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party or
Disney Jollywood Nights yet, you can also purchase them with a military discount through Shades of Green Resort. Fill out their
Advance Ticket Form Request and email it to tickets@shadesofgreenresort.zendesk.com. A ticket agent will contact you for the sponsor's eligibility information as well as method of payment.
Victoria, I hope all of this information was helpful! Thank you again for stopping by planDisney, and if you need additional pixie dust to plan your visit, send me your questions anytime. You've got a friend in me!
Magic Awaits!
