Yes.
You can upgrade a 4-Day Military Salute ticket to a 5-Day Military Salute ticket for the difference in price between the two.

We are purchasing the Salute tickets in 2020 and found we are able to split the days using them two days for the January trip and the remaining three days for October, confirmed with Eglin and Shades of Green. The website military Disney tips (dot com - attaching the link does not work ) has great information.

Are you sure about this? I recently looked into this for a friend who has a 3 day salute ticket with 2 days remaining and she wants to add another day. When I researched it, I found that these tickets CANNOT be upgraded to add a day at the military rate, but rather she would have to pay the difference between the salute ticket and a regular 4 day hopper.

They don't currently (in 2019) offer a 3-day salute ticket.
And, Military Salute tickets are only valid within the same year they are purchased,
So, I'm not sure of what situation you are describing.

Regardless, a 2019 4-day Military Salute ticket can, for sure, be upgraded to a 2019 5-day Military Salute ticket.

Disneyland offers 3 or 4 day salute tickets. I bought my friend a 3 day DL salute ticket when she visited me in February. She is coming back in November to use the remaining 2 days, but she is coming for 4 nights and we wanted to see about upgrading the 3 day salute ticket to the 4 day salute ticket. She has until Dec 20 to use the remaining days. I know how it all works. We buy these tickets literally every year since this program started, for family members or friends.

I'll stop by the ticket booth next time I go to DL, probably tomorrow, and ask.

EDIT: Apparently they changed the policy and tickets purchased after 2017 can have a day added up to either 4 (DL) or 5 (WDW) days total, but no days beyond that.

Yep, that is what the above responses indicated.

This has been true since they started offering two different length versions of the salute tickets.

My son just purchased them and he had the option of 4 day or 5 day. He had not other options. I believe they were only park hopper.
They were, however much cheaper than I could purchase. He purchased 2 4 days tickets for our week long trip for much less than my 8 day ticket.

Is there a reason he didn’t buy your tickets, too? Eligible military can buy up to 6 salute tickets every year, and any friends or family can use them.

The WDW choices (in 2019) for Military Salute tickets are:

4-Day Base ticket.
5-Day Base ticket.

4-Day Hopper ticket.
5-Day Hopper ticket.

4-Day Hopper Plus ticket.
5-Day Hopper Plus ticket.

The purchaser can buy any of the lesser Military tickets (for example, the 4-Day Base ticket)
and then, at any time, choose to upgrade to any of the tickets with more assets
by simply paying the difference price between the tickets.

We have APs. Otherwise, we would have.

Okay. I thought you said you had 8-day tickets.

Has Disney confirmed that it will offer Salute tickets for 2020? I've been waiting to buy Salute tickets for our January 2020 trip. The current program ends in December 2019 and I haven't seen an announcement on whether they will continue the program in 2020. Everything I've read says Disney usually announced the next year's program in late September. Has there been an announcement for 2020?

No, no official announcement yet.

The last 4 years the new year's program has been announced the end of September, right around the 26th, so hopefully soon!
