Military Salute Tickets - WPF&M

[Lindsay0385]

Hello,

I've read through the sticky on WDW Tickets and the FAQ included. But I want to make sure that this applies to the Military Promotional 4-Day Park Hopper with Water Park Fun and More tickets.

Right now I'm in the beginning of planning a trip to Disney for me, my sister, her husband (who is a member of the military), and our mother. We want to stay longer than 4 days.

As I read the FAQ, it seems that it possible to use the first 4 days to do admissions to the parks and then use the other days as the "Water Fun and More" options...is that correct?

We would park hop the first four days, and then on the 5th day go to one of the water parks. Is it okay to do it in this order, or will our tickets expire after using the 4th day of park admissions?

Thank you,

Lindsay

Yes you can do this, but you don't have to use the four park days in a row. You could do a park or two and break it up with a water park or two and Disney Quest. You will have four park days and four separate water park days. These are really entrances, not days. You could do two water parks or a water park and Disney Quest on the same day, but it would count as two of your four "days."

You can do that

Awesome, thank you! With the way we have it planned, we need to do the first 4 days at the actual parks. I appreciate your help!

You can do your park days and your WPF&M admissions in any order you want. You can skip days in-between. Your park days and your WPF&M admissions don't expire until Oct 3, 2015 for those AFS 4-day tickets. If you use all your park admissions, but still have WPF&M entries left, you have until the end of Oct 3rd to use them. But you can't transfer the tickets to somebody else to use up. Disney will have info about whose ticket it is.

If there is any problem getting the AFS tickets with both PH and WPF&M, you can add-on the WPF&M option at a WDW ticket booth when you arrive. You'll pay $30 plus tax. Shades of Green won't upgrade those tickets.

This is a "canned" response modified for the Armed Forces Salute 2015 tickets with the assumption you have both the Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More (WPF&M) options.

Hopefully this will make it a little clearer. In effect you have two tickets with different privileges on one card. Everything expires at Midnight on Saturday October 3, 2015. Even if you use up all your major park days, the WPF&M entries remain valid until used or 10/3/15. (Note you do not have to use the days consecutively.)

You have four days of access to the four major parks (AK, DHS, EC, MK), and may visit more than one major park on a single day without any extra charges. Without the Park Hopper option you can only go to one major park per day.

You have four entries to the minor parks (BB, DQ, OT, TL, WWS, FG, W-SL). These may or may not be used on the same days as you go to the major parks. However, if you went to TL in the morning, Oak Trail in the afternoon, and Disney Quest in the evening of one day you would have used three of the four entries. (Note that leaving and returning to the same minor park on the same day does not use an extra entry.)

If you go to minor parks only on one day and do not go to a major park you do not use up one of your major park days.

If you were to go to a Water Park in the morning and then one of the major parks for the remainder of the day you would have used one minor park entry and one day of major park entry.

Note that with the ticket unless you have the hopper option you can only go to one major park per day. Unless you have the WPF&M option you cannot go to a minor park without upgrading or purchasing a separate ticket.
