Military Armed Forces Salute 2010 Discount- Announced?

[mdteacher]

I see at the top of Disboards "News" that Disney has extended the $99 ticket price to active duty and retired military again for 2010. Has anyone actually seen this on the Disney website? I am afraid all this snow has me hallucinating! I was so hoping they would extend the special.

Please say it's so! WE are planning a trip this summer and reduced tickets would be icing on the cake.

I am really hoping this is true but can't find anything about it

I've heard about it as well. There are some change though from the discount of last year. Each ticket is still $99 , but it is only for a 4 day, not a 5 day base ticket. Also, the miitary members ticket is not free this go around. Each serviceman may buy up to 6 tickets. You can add on waterparks, etc. for $25 each. You cannon make the tickets non-expiring, or add additional days to them. There are also some black-out dates such as the 4th of July and end of March through mid April. Hope this helps.

My understanding was that you couldn't use them during that time frame because a couple of the days were only blacked out for the Magic Kingdom. There's a thread on the theme park strategies board (I think, I'll try to find it and link to it).

I am so excited! I am going with my 2 boys in June so 4 days is just fine! So now we can hopefully go to Harry Potters Wizard World for the extra day at Universal! Now to keep my eye for a discount on the room!

If you click on the link in the prior poster's thread you will get to the thread, now on Page 3, with a lot more detail than is currently posted in the DisBoards Header. That thread was started by me on December 13.
