We are planning a vacation to Orlando this June and we will be staying HGVC on I-Drive . We reserved a couple rooms because the kids and grand kids will be coming as well. I recently found out the good folks at Disney World are having an "Armed Forces Salute Ticket" promotion from Jan 3rd through Dec 23rd 2009. I haven't seen this info posted here yet but if it has sorry for repeat but just wanted to pass along because this is too good to pass up if you are active OR retired military. This is GREAT deal that I will take advantage of for sure. Good on Disney!!
Here is the info:
Walt Disney World has just introduced a special Armed Forces Salute Ticket for 2009. Each qualifying Military Service member will receive a complimentary 5-Day “Disney’s Armed Forces Salute Ticket” with Park Hopper and Water Park Fun & More Options included. To receive the FREE ticket, visit any theme park Guest Relations window and show proper ID.
In addition to the free Armed Forces Salute Ticket, up to 5 of their guests can purchase for $99 a Disney’s Armed Forces Salute Companion (5 Day Base) ticket. Park Hopper or Water Park Fun & More option are available for $25 each (which is 50% off the normal price).
Companion tickets may be upgraded to Premium, Annual or Seasonal Passes. Seasonal Pass upgrade requires proof of Florida Residency. Companion tickets may not be upgraded by adding the no expiration option, and you cannot add additional days to the passes. Companion tickets may be purchased at any Disney World ticket window or guest services.
You may also purchase tickets at Shades of Green, located at Walt Disney World or on your base (these two options are tax-free). If you purchase the tickets at Shades of Green or on base, you will receive a voucher that you will trade in once you arrive at a Walt Disney World ticket window.
"Armed Forces Salute tickets will expire on 12/23/09 and have no block-out dates. Tickets may be upgraded anytime between January 4th -December 23, 2009 as long as there is usage left on the ticket.
The entire party needs to be present for purchase (Spouse or military dependents can receive the companion discount without the military service member being present as long as they have their military ID). The military service member will need to show ID; Cast Member will ask for their Base’s name, and the State where the base is listed.
This offer is only available once per service member
