After 10 years of active duty in the Navy, I've stopped asking for SOG or Hale Koa for that matter because I was always too late to get the days I wanted. I am a reservist now so I don't even think of it. I did notice a 40% discount for active military for hotels, but don't remember the details (it was on this site).
Don't have PS yet because it's 90 days in advance and that's September. But those are my plans. 12/23 Fantasmic 12/24 EPCOT and 12/25 Boma. Elderly parents may not want to walk as much...We are in AKL because my mom wants to see the animals!
Mikki I'm in Davie 4 years now, used to be stationed in DC and lived in Fairfax.
Hoop de Doo for Thanksgiving several years ago was awesome, and we had our ressies for 6+months. It was after 9/11 and they actually cancelled one of the seatings because of lack of interest, but we still had front row seats. Kids loved it!
