military ticket offer?

[wdwobsessed!]

We get our tickets through Shades of Green and they usually run a special promotion. The one that was currently running has ended. Does anybody know if SOG is going to run another one like the previous one? Thanks!

SOG doesn't have a ticket offer that I know of but Disney is offering a military ticket offer of up to 6 tickets (1 to be used by sponsor or spouse) for 4 days for $177 for either water parks and more or park hopper. For $30 more you can get both options. These need to be activated by the military member or their spouse.

While you are getting your tickets at SOG the ticket offer is not exclusive to SOG. Tickets may be purchased at any Military Base that has an ITT/MWR office that sells Disney tickets. They can also be purchased at the Disney Ticket Booths but you will have to pay sales tax if purchased there.

The offer has been extended again for 2015.

Do you know if you can add the water park option later, like at the water park if you decide the weather is good enough?

We r going in November, a party of 3, for 8 days. I purchased 6 of the 4 day military salutes tickets, water parks and more option, on base a month ago. I linked 2 tickets to each persons MDE account and did our fast passes for all 8 days. It was cheaper that way than a military discounted 8 day ticket.

With the Water Parks and more, if I am correct, that would give you 8 Water Parks or other activities as well as 8 entrances to the parks?

In addition to the Salute tickets, SOG also offers discounted regular MYW tickets in all stripes (WPFM, PH and no expire options up to 10 days long) and also "Stars & Stripes LOS" passes. S&S tickets are only for folks staying at SOG. All are cheaper than the coresponding Disney equivalent, although the Salute is the biggest bargain, especially if you get them on bases where they are subsidized by MWR (some bases sell them for less than SOG where the price has been re-discounted by MWR money) The longer you are going for, the less difference the discount makes. ie. But if you're going for 4 days, the Salute is a great deal and will be available until at least Sept 2015.

8 days of park hopper, any park anytime you want, water park anytime you want and includes disneyquest.

My mom got the 4 day military ticket deal from the base the other day. the tickets that she received say that they are not a ticket and that they need to be exchanged at the parks. It does have a barcode and number at the bottom.

Can we use this number for the my magic plus account to get our fastpass+ 30 days out?

My mom and dad have old tickets from the past to use. Do they have to be one of the 6 military tickets or do they just have to be present to redeem the tickets?

thanks for any help.

Yes you can scan the barcode MM+ or put the numbers and the tickets will link so you can make FP+ reservations in advance. The military member or the spouse must be one of the people using the tickets. In other words only 5 tickets can be activated for other family and friends and either the military member/retiree or spouse must be present to activate them.

According to the restrictions:
"In addition, one of the six (6) Tickets purchased must be used by the Eligible Service Member or his/her spouse."

Also, only "up to six tickets" can be purchased and all must be purchased on the same day. So if they purchased four, they cannot go back and buy one or two more. It is a one time purchase of up to six tickets.

Thank you for your responses.

So I use the bar code for mm+ on the temp tickets. Where do I go to get the real tickets? Any customer relations such as DTD or the front of the park? Then that new ticket will have the same codes as the temp ones so that it works with mm+. correct..
thanks

They need to be exchanged at a ticket booth (park, DTD or T&TC). We did ours last year at T&TC and in 2011 at AK.

Shades doesn't offer promos on tickets. they sell the regular ones at a slight discount like any other authorized reseller and they have the Salute to Heroes tickets as well. latest version of that went live last week.

This is incorrect you can buy as many tickets as you want really, but you can only activate six. You do not have to buy them all together the only year that was the case was either 11 or 12.

When you activate them. If you are onsite or have a MB it is just your MB they won't give you other tickets.

If you are staying at SOG, 45 days before your reservation starts, SOG will send you a form via email to purchase your tickets. They are currently running the Salute tickets (4 Day Hopper) for $169. You FAX the form back to SOG and they send you the ticket numbers needed to register for My Disney Experience and obtain your Fast Pass+ options 30 days out. When you sign in at SOG you have your tickets at the counter (don't need to do that standing in line thing). That includes if you purchase MVMCP tickets.

 

[SCDisneyfanatic]

I should have mentioned that for $198, you can upgrade the 4 Day Hopper to include 4 visits to any of the following: Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Quest, Fantasia Miniature Golf, or the 36-hole Par 36 Golf Course (the name escapes me at the moment). It's a pretty good deal, especially since just one visit to any of those venues will exceed that additional $29.
