Which military base has the cheapest WDW tickets?

[TvylorHvley]

Hi everyone! I'm currently trying to plan a trip for this September, and unlike last September's trip, I'll be going with my mom (retired military spouse). I was planning on buying straight from Shades of Green (like my parents did when they took us to Disney), but I've been looking at possibly getting them from military base ITT offices. Shades of Green sells the 6-day hopper pass for $586.75, my local AFB sells it for $578, and another in Florida sells it for $589. Are there any other bases I should look at for cheaper prices? Thanks!

If your Mom is retired spouse with an ID card, she can buy the Salute tickets.

4-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket	$ 346.00
4-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket	$ 376.00
5-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket	$ 366.00
5-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket	$ 396.00

Yes, have her get the salute tickets. If you want an extra day consider doing an after hours event. Huge bang for your buck, especially at HS. Or do a water park day.

I think it is only a difference of $30 or so to add water park days to the salute ticket.

No I meant if you want to do a 6th day then pay separately for a water park ticket. They’re cheaper than theme park tickets.

The water park add on should give an additional 5 days at the water parks. I've never done it, but that's how I heard it works. Which seems to be confirmed here:

Note: I'm not the Wendy that asked the planDisney question, and it looks like the answer is a few years old, but worth looking into if you have Salute tickets and are wanting to visit water parks.

What I’m suggesting is buy the 5 day salute ticket and then completely separately buy a $69 water park ticket. Not as an add-on to the salute ticket because the salute ticket is only for five days and you said you wanted to go to WDW for six days. It’s the same with the after hours event ticket - completely separate and could be used to add a 6th day.

The separate waterpark ticket would only be 1 entry and cost twice as much as adding the "Plus" to a Salute ticket. The Salute ticket only has 5 (or 4) theme park days, but a Salute PH Plus includes 5 theme park days plus 5 waterpark and/or sports entries. The Salute ticket should be valid until mid-December 2023 or until all entitlements are used -- so it would continue to be valid after the 5th theme park day. For an extra $30 they would have a day at the waterpark(s) and/or mini-golf and/or Oak Trail golf for the 6th day.

Or if they really want a 6th day in the parks, the After Hours event ticket plus a Salute ticket is probably still less than a 6-day hopper. But if daytime in the parks is their goal for 6 days, the best option is still the discounted 6-day hopper the OP mentioned.
