appleorchard said:This is pretty much the way it's been every year since the promo started--great confusion for the first few weeks ITTs don't have the tickets or know how they work, etc. You can always buy them at the gate if you have to, even if it is a few extra dollars per ticket. Or at SoG.

Thanks!
Sorry, I have several questions:
1. If it turns out that tickets cannot be used by the same two people (in our case the retiree and spouse) back to back for an 8 day trip, are the Stars and Stripes tickets still available? The SOG website show them, but I wasn't sure if it was accurate.
2. Are all military discounted tickets paper tickets? I believe so based on what I've read in the earlier posts, but wondered if there are any military tickets that can be tied to the KTTW. I know it is minor, but for some reason I hate paper tickets.
3. If booking two rooms for the same period with the discount, can they be at different resorts? We're thinking of bartering with my DSS (25) and his girlfriend that we'll pay for their trip if they play nanny for some of our stay to our baby daughter (10 months right now) on our next trip
Hi,
Shades does still sell the Stars and Stripes passes but they are considered a "length of stay" pass and are supposed to be for the number of nights of your on property stay. The might sell you less days but I'm not sure. You can also buy the slightly (4%-8% off) discounted Magic Your Way tickets at SoG. Give their ticket number a call (407) 824-1403, you might have to leave a voicemail and get a call back.
The Armed Forces Salute tickets you buy at base ITT Offices and SoG are really nice plastic tickets with the AFS logo. The AFS tickets at a Disney ticket booth are paper. There is no way to combine the AFS tickets with your room key though. Apples and Oranges.
And on the rooms there are no rules other that being eligible and a max of 3 including yours. You can have many stays at many resorts throughout the offer period. I do this every year.
Hope this helps,
Steve
Here's something I hope we can get help with. My DH is eligible to buy six tickets. Our travel party will consist of our immediate family (4 incl DH), my SIL and her son, and a 7th person -- son's girlfriend, whose mother is active duty military but can't join us. If her mom bought 1 ticket from MWR, would they let her activate @ WDW, since my huband will be there with us to show his ID? (She probably won't be able to go with us if she can't use the Military Salute ticket. )
