I just got the following forwarded to me on my base email. This is great information (and rates) for those it applies to.

Cool! Thanks for posting this.

Quick question... do we need park admission that day as well or just the ticket to the party? Trying to figure out which day to go.

Thanks!!

Thanks this is great news.

You do not need to use a day from your regular admission ticket if you attend MVMCP. It is a separate admission. We usually just hang out at the pool on the day of the party and then go to the party that night.

It is a seperate ticketed event. You do not need a normal ticket for that night. The lparty is from 8pm to 1am. With that being said you can get in a bit earlier than 8 with the party ticket. This is an annual trip for our family. just glad to hear the tickets are less expensive this year.

Thanks! We're looking at taking DS one night. We have a day with little else going on that would be perfect.

 

[VirataMama4]

This is perfect! I really wanted to go but DH couldn't see paying the $$$ but now I think he'll be ok with it! Yay Disney

The pricing and date information are correct. However, the Pary hours are 7:00 to Midnight. Also, the Party tickets will allow you into MK as early as 4:00pm.

Thank you for the updated information. We have annual passes so we go in when ever we feel like it.

My father got the Salute tickets for our family when we were in WDW in April (retired). However, just my Mom is going back with me to take my girls in December. Does anyone know if she can purchase the discounted MVMCP tickets with her military id (spouse) or does my Dad have to be present?

As long as she has a DD Form 1173 listing her as "Spouse" there is no problem.

It is just that she probably could not get additional Five Day Companion Tickets as the total number of Companion Tickets that can be issued to one service member is five.

Thanks to the OP.

I emailed guest services because I had already purchased my MVMCP tickets. They will honor the discount I just need to go to guest services with the military id and my credit card and they will refund me the difference.

It is great to hear that Disney will still do right by its guests.

I called them and they said the same thing last week... Well I was told they should be able to... Doing this by email maybe a better idea! Thanks for the tip

I bought 7 adult tickets and 5 kids BIG $$$$ but the kids asked daddy if there would be snow for Christmas since it is Disney and they have seen magic there. So I was willing to fork over the money but when I read they are doing a military discount and my husdand and brothers are all AD I was worried since I already bought all those tickets. Thanks so much for giving me one less thing to fret over

Can you buy the discounted tix online? over the phone? in person?

 

[KT27]

You have to buy them in person at guest services. They need to see the military ID. Same rules as the Armed Forces Salute.

 

[locolala]

Oh awesome, we can get a refund! I was so mad that they'd done a discount for our day and I'd already bought the tickets! This is great

 

[leslie826]

If you can only buy them in person, what happens if they are sold out by the time we get there?
