Hiya Angie,
Welcome to planDisney! As the proud daughter of two veterans, I am honored to help you with your questions about your vacation plans. My parents recently purchased
Military Salute tickets for themselves and my daughter, so they had a similar question.
It is definitely helpful to know if there will be availability for your dates before you purchase your tickets, book your flights, and plan your entire vacation. Unfortunately, there isn’t a dedicated park availability calendar for Guests thinking of purchasing Military tickets at this time. But what I’ve used, and what has been recommended to me by Cast Members, is the
Annual Passholder one. That calendar shows the same availability you would see for the Military Salute tickets and gives you an idea of reservation availability for your trip. The calendar is dynamic, so it reflects availability in real time (and it's subject to change). If your dates look good, I recommend purchasing your tickets and locking in your reservations right away to be safe.
I hope this was helpful, Angie! Before I let you go, I mention this to military Guests all the time: don’t forget to check out the
resort hotel deals for Military Service Members. If you want to stay at one of Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, this is a great way to stay and save! If you are eligible for the deals and your trip dates align with the deal guidelines, reach out to a Cast Member in
Tickets and Hotel Reservations to see if you can take advantage of this offer. If you need anything else in the meantime, Angie, please come back and see us. We would be honored to help however we can.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
