As in past years, Disney is coming out with special discounted tickets for members of the armed forces and their families. Note that information in this post is based on the internal WDW procedures; some of the military base selling locations may have stricter rules.
Tickets will go on sale at WDW on September 29, 2013. Military bases may sell them earlier, but they cannot be used before this date.
All tickets will be four days. They will be valid from date of first use through September 27, 2014. The normal 14 day expiration rules do not apply.
You have an option of getting a Park Hopper or a ticket with the WPF&M option for $169. If purchased at a WDW ticket window tax will be added. The only other choice is to purchase tickets with both hopping and WPF&M for $198.
Purchases may be made by active duty or retired US Military including Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves. It also includes permanently disabled veterans with a DAVPRM status on their ID. In the 2012-2013 promotion it also included non-US Armed Forces stationed in the US with a CAC; this does not seem to be available with this offer.
The service member may purchase tickets for themselves and up to five guests. Note if six ticket are purchased one must be for the service member. If the service member is not present, the spouse (including unremarried widow) may purchase up to five tickets including themselves.
Purchases at military bases (MWR/ITT Offices) or Shades of Green will receive a green Exchange Certificate. These must be presented, along with proper ID, at any WDW ticket or Guest Relations window (Theme Parks, Water Parks, TTC, DTD) but not at a Resort for exchange for live tickets. Note that when activating Exchange Certificates or purchasing live tickets Name, date of birth, address, and telephone number for each person must be provided, as well as the military ID.
Blockout dates (All Parks) December 20-31, 2013 and April 13-20, 2014. Additionally Magic Kingdom only on July 4, 2014.
These tickets may be upgraded to any level of AP eligible to purchase. There is no price-bridging and only the amount paid ($169 or $198) plus tax will be credited.
