For the resort rooms? You need to call and book. Can't do it online

Does this offer expire? I read somewhere that there are date guidelines about when you have to purchase the tickets by.. but I can't find them on the Disney site or anywhere? I know they must be used by Dec. 23, but I thought I heard that they must be bought by June?? And somewhere else I read that there was an extension- but I can't find any solid dates anywhere.

Any help?

DisneyWorld is until December.

DisneyLand was until mid June but was extended until mid September.

They are not to be purchased/received by but used by those dates

I was wondering...I saw that this offer also extends to Guard/Reserve members that have active duty papers. Does anyone know if training counts as active for this promotion? Thanks

Does training mean you do drills and 2 weeks of the year? Still have an ID card? If so then that is enough and show your ID card/paperwork to get the tickets.

actually i was referring to basic and tech school... thanks

If you have completed Basic and Tech School and have an ID card, assigned to a Unit, then you are a Reservist/National Guard, therefore eligible for it. I see from another post your spouse is National Guard/Reservist so therefore you are eligible for the Family/Friend's deal of $99. Once you complete your training then you will be eligible for the free ticket.

ok thanks, i wasn't sure because I thought it said for guard and reserve you need active duty papers...not just your id card. thanks for your help

ok so do training orders count as activation orders?

not usually.. activations are for 30 days or more.. Training is typically your 2 weeks a year AT.

he said it was basic and tech school.

In most things, schools dont even count on the reserve side (esp when talking about VA benefits) however, I'd call Shades of Green or Disney (after looking at your orders to see exactly what they say). They should know for sure

thank you

I have been getting a lot of rentals from military.com for this disney world promotion. great idea for servicemembers past and present. They get the discount tickets and I can set them up with a great place to stay for cheaper than hotel rooms. My military discount is down right now due to update I made. But check out my website at while it is being updated here. I can save you money on accomodations.

We just returned from DisneyWorld and it was pretty quiet to be honest for the summer.

For the $99 each you get a 5 day ticket where you go to 1 park per day. If you want a Hopper it is $25 more, then if you want Blizzard Beach, etc...it is another $25, so it would come to $148 total for every option.

By the way I do want to let you know that you can now take your own food & drinks into the park, so it can cut down on your costs. The prices inside the park can be expensive for a family. So make sure you take your own snacks, drinks, water (especially inside is $2.50 per bottle), and even to make sandwiches.

This is a true offer. Free to military personal. I used my pass without an hazzle., lost it and then had to get one replaced. No problem at all. Not sure how you get one if you are not near a military base, but contact the recreation center/tickets and tours and they should have tickets available. Whooooooooo Hoooooooooo for Disney.
