Disney's Armed Forces Salute

[ilovmy3kidz]

Does anyone have info on this? I've been searching the web and I guess the only thing I can't figure out is if the tickets have to be used all at once, or just used up before 12/23/09. I.E. can you do a 3 day weekend and a 2 day weekend? I'm trying to get the info to my sister.

Hi,

This is from allearsnet:

The 14 day window is for Disneyland. The Disney World ones expire on 23 December 2009. I hope this better helps you.

It's kind of confusing how their info is written. I bet the base in Tampa would sell the vouchers and might know about them. It's weird how it would be so different for DL and WDW.
