My husband is a retired Marine so we are eligible for the military promotions--I've already purchased 3 this year on previous trips. We are going again in a couple weeks, this time as a party of 4-so we will be one ticket short since we can only purchase a maximum of 6 correct?
i will be going to Disney several more times in the next year (I run a lot of the races) so I am thinking our best option is to use the 3 tickets on my husband and kids, and I will purchase an annual pass. I've read that there is a discounted rate for military, and you can buy the voucher (hat you then bring to the gate of one of the parks to activate) at Shades of green.
Does anyone know if you can also purchase the discounted pass directly at the gate? The ticket office at Shades of Green is only open till 7 pm, and while we are trying to arrive before that--you never know if you will run into traffic or something. We want to start at the parks bright and early the next day, without having to stop at Shades of Green. If we could just go to a park the night we arrive and buy the pass--it would help us a lot. Or even that morning directly at the park we plan to go to (Hollywood Studios.)
I realize that purchasing at Shades of Green means no sales tax--and purchasing at the gate we would have to pay...but other wise is it the same price?
Thanks!
