Undercover tourist is cheaper than military tickets

[ILoveMyDVC]

Nevermind - Drama over. Bought 2 X 9 day hopper plus from UC. Already loaded in MDE. Almost time to play airfare followed by how cheap can I get a rental car.

Two tips for UC.
1. Have access to your credit card account (able to see charges)
2. GMAIL threw it in Spam - both sets of emails despite marking the first as not spam (different address for 2nd)


Or have I lost my mind. Was going to buy Military Salute ( 2 of each)
1 x 4 day hopper plus 266.00
1 x 5 day hopper 246.00
512.00

The Military Salute may or may not have tax depending on how it is bought and also requires my DD to be part of the purchase - filling out a form or trying to get them on base.

It appears I can get a 9 day hopper plus from UC for $508.00 including tax and shipping. The only catch appears to be they must be activated by January 2019 - same risk as the Military tickets.

Am I missing something? Will their price change tonight? Sorry to be such a bother with this. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Does military not have a 9 day ticket? Is that why your buying two tickets? All tickets expire 14 days after first use.

Salute tickets were offered 4 and 5 day. YIKES forgot about that - just checked - They have a 9 day for $2 more than what I paid at UT. Tax/not tax with the military tickets was going to depend on how they were purchased. Happy to have purchased them without having to make other arrangements or get the kids' IDs They are already linked to my account.

From some recent posts I thought she was buying for two trips, too! Other posts indicate it’s just the one trip though.

Glad it’s all coming together, OP.

The 14 day after first use does not apply to the salute tickets.

Thanks. I kept coming back to the Salute tickets. It totally worked out - at a minimum, I save coffee money (1 LOL) - a lot more if I had to pay the tax. Relieved stress of orchestrating military purchase. I am there for 12 nights/11 for them with one side trip planned.

No worries. Consecutive (minus one day at TL and one day at Kennedy*)

*not for me - I will be at Senses or Mandara or anywhere not Kennedy

The Salute tickets and Military discounted tickets are almost exclusively sold on base or places like the Shades of Green. All of these purchases would not include sales tax.

The only time I ever paid sales tax on Military Salute tickets is when I bought them at the WDW ticket window.
