Military Salute Tickets - Upgradable?

[silmarg]

If I buy a plain jane 4 day Military Salute ticket can I add a hopper option on to it after the fact or add on a 5th day?

I m 99% sure I can, but wanted to check w the experts here.

I haven't dealt with Military Salute tickets for a couple of years, but you should be able to upgrade them. One thing to keep in mind though is sales tax. If you buy the tickets from Shades of Green or a ticket office on base, you don't pay sales tax. If you buy it at the park, you do. Same goes for upgrades.

For example, If you buy a ticket tax-free at Shades of Green, then upgrade it at a WDW ticket office or guest relations, you'll pay sales tax on the price difference. If you upgrade it at Shades of Green, you won't pay tax on the upgrade.

I could be wrong, but I think the Salute tickets automatically include the Hopper option; I don't believe there is a 1-park-per-day version in 2022.

As to the 5th day... I'm not sure about adding it after the fact. It only costs $20 more so might be worth getting from the start. I believe it won't expire until 12/16/2022.

Looks like that is correct. Hopper is included. Hopper Plus and Genie+ are optional.

I'm not sure you can do this. They no longer sell these tickets at the gate like they used to so they may not be able to upgrade it to a military 5 day and instead charge you the upgrade to a regular 5 day hopper. I would buy the 5 day hopper even if you are not 100% sure. Its only a $20 difference.

Yes you can upgrade them. I did it in December.

Go back through where you bought them. If you got them at a military ticket and travel office then you would turn in your old vouchers for new ones. If you got them through Shades of Green then they should be able to make the change before you pick up the tickets. I don’t think you can make the change once you start using the tickets, but I could be wrong? Disney doesn’t issue Military Salute tickets through their own ticket offices.

Thx everyone.
I realize they are default hoppers now.

I upgraded a 4 day to a 6 day (now 5 is the max though) at the Ticket Center in Disney Springs in Dec. 2020. There was only 1 day left on each ticket. You can upgrade after first use to a longer Military Salute ticket, but you have to have at least 1 day left on the tickets to do so.
