This is great, thanks for posting it. I really need to know what the hotel discounts are, I hope we get the specifics soon.

 

[RMAMom]

I just called WDW and the CM put me on hold and came back to tell me that it has been released but it doesn't start booking until tomorrow so he won't be able to give me the percentages for the hotels until then.

I know, I just checked his site...

You would think it would be on there....oh, I hate waiting!!!!

 

[BubMunkeyBles]

Sometimes I wish they had other amounts of days offered. I need 6 days. Will get 2 passes probably because of parkhopper prices it ends up cheaper still I think. Hubby and DD will be getting seasonal passes, but even though I'm a Florida resident still Alaska made me change drivers licenses.

Thanks for posting this. I appreciate all the information we've gotten so far, and hope we'll get more soon!

I just got a response from Steve on FB that confirms that Disney has confirmed an extension!!!!!

ETA: he states details are still being worked out....

 

[BridgetBordeaux]

Glad to hear that the offer has been extended. Look forward to reviewing the hotel discounts when the details are available.

 

[Steve TLT]

Disney had confirmed to me that they had decided to renew the Armed Forces Salute, but had told me that they would be coordinating with MWR this week.

They'd told me they would email me the details and I haven't received anything yet. I sent an email to my WDW Media Relations contact but don't know if I'll hear anything before morning. I think the ITT office leaked this before they were supposed to. I imagine it will be announced tomorrow.

There are details missing from the info above from a base ITT Office (room discount rates). So we'll see tomorrow

Thanks for checking on this!!!

Fingers crossed for details tomorrow!

 

[goofyredraider]

Cannot wait to hear the details...hoping for tomorrow!

 

[megandbrooke]

Can't wait to hear if it is a done deal. If anyone has any luck tomorrow, if you don't mind, please share. Can't call from work so it will be killing me! Thanks for the updated information.

 

[crostorfer]

Keep us updated. Considering I just caused a huge scene in my ITT over the current tickets and used some not so nice language with the dummies who work there, I'm relying on you all for info.

 

[PrincessSuzanne]

This is great news. I want to book our room only for February soon.

 

[Cheshire Figment]

As of right now there is nothing in either the Advisories section or the Ticketing Information section of The Hub saying anything about a new Military promotions.

If and when something is announced I will post official information.

As soon as I have something official from Disney I'll be posting on my site, blog, here, and sending out a newsletter.
