Last year, the same people were allowed to buy them, but only for the people in their party...names had to be associated with them (no more than one ticket per person) and the parties IDs had to be shown with the ticket when they were activated.....and the sponsor had to be there too (whether it be the wife, the servicemember, whoever was allowed to purchase) They wouldn't sell two tickets under one person's name. Let's say GI Joe purchased five tickets...one for Mama, one for little sis, one for little brother, one for Baby Joe, and one for wife. Mama, little sis, little brother, wife, and Baby Joe had to show their ids and activate their tickets with GI Joe. We were going to buy a friend one last year, but my husband had to be with her to activate it, and it just wasn't possible.
I apologize if I misinterpreted...what I meant by extra tickets was more than one ticket per person. I guess we could have gotten two 5-day tickets each for our honeymoon, and then two more five-day passes for when we went to Food & Wine later in the year. Just wouldn't seem right.

We always go to POR, either Riverside or French Quarter. FQ this time. We like the tranquil grounds, 2 different food courts, many pools and, the best feature, the boat to Downtown Disney. This resort really has it all!
I have stayed at Shades of Green. The rooms are Huge and the resort is top notch! But at my husband's rank, it is better to use the 40% off Disney rooms discount. And I like being in the Disney transportation loop.
More price wierdness
I was looking at the brochure they gave me with the tickets:
It says 4 day base: $97
4 day hopper: $121 ($24 more)
4 day water: $121 ($24 more)
4 day hopper and water: $147 ($50 more, though you'd think it'd be $48)
Anyone else find it strange that this MWR office charges less?
...I just wish there was a way that if you booked a room with at WDW resort you could still add the dinning plan and not have to buy their tickets ...

have 2 questions please...
1. we have 3 days left on our Military salute tickets,they do not have the hop option can we add it on when we go back? If so does anyone know how much per ticket it will cost?
2. I'm hoping I'm calculating correctly, when you look online and put your dates in for a resort, is the price that they show us the rack rate? And when I call for a ressie the 40% off per night will apply to that? Also though DH is the sponser can I make the ressies over the phone..he will be with us to show his ID when we check in!?
Thanks for any help!
If you are qualified military, you can do that. I am doing it. I have booked a 40% military discount room at POFQ and added dining. Told them I was getting tickets at SoG. You cannot get the free dining offer.
Oh I was able to do just that this year but I meant for future trips when there is no military 40% discount.
They arre your actual tickets, but aren't good until they're activated at WDW. Some bases charge less for the tickets--it's up to them to charge what they want, I guess. Strange, but not all bad, right?I picked up my Military Salute tickets today!
But, I think my base undercharged me! I didn't do the math while there (the total price did sound about right).
The tickets are supposed to be $99 base +$25/option
I got four tickets with both water fun hopping. It was $147 each, for $588 total, and it seems it should have been $149 each, for $596 total
I'm not one to complain about saving $8, as long as I won't have problems!
Also, I read earlier on the thread that the vouchers you get at the base don't say what type of ticket they are. What I got says, "4-Day Disney's Armed Forces Salute w/ Park Hopper and FUN" I assume "FUN" means Water Park and More option? So, did they change it, are these my actual tickets? (it does say I need to activate them prior to use) Or, will I get paper character tickets in exchange?

The selling of the tickets is supposed to stop on August 31. However, the tickets may be activated and/or upgraded through September 30. The cost for the Hopping option and for the WPF&M option is $25 (plus tax) per option.
Note that all tickets will die at 11:59:59pm on September 30 and cannot be used after that date (unless Disney decides to change policy again).
