Has it really been a year already? It sure has! The seasons have come and gone. And the Disney Travel Co has announced the 2019 Armed Forces Salute.
The Disney Travel Co salutes Active, Reserve, Guard, Retired and Disabled members of our Military.
To begin, let’s take a look at the eligibility requirements for this offer. No need to drag you along if you don’t qualify!! According to the Disney Travel Company…
“”Eligible Service Members” are active or retired members of the U.S. Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Spouses of Military Service Members also qualify if they are able to present valid and active U.S. Military IDs in the absence of active or retired Military Personnel or Commissioned Corps Members.”

Purchasing Disney World Armed Forces Salute Tickets
Service member’s have three options when it comes to purchasing Disney World Armed Forces Salute Tickets.
- Purchase in person or via phone from your local base. You will be given a voucher that can be linked to a “myDisneyexperience” account. This is vital for planning Fast Passes in advance. However, note that the voucher must be activated at Disney World’s Guest Services booth prior to entering any parks.
- Purchase from Shades of Green on Walt Disney World’s ticket office. Contact SOG via email and they will guide you through the process of verifying your id, making the purchase and paying shipping costs. They will mail you ACTIVATED TICKETS…no need to spend time at Guest Services!
- Purchase from a Disney World ticketing booth. You will instantly receive activated tickets, but you will also pay tax on your purchase.
*My recommendation…purchase from Shades of Green, allowing at least 10 days prior to Fast Pass scheduling to allow for processing and shipping.
