so my sister-in-law told me yesterday about a deal that disney world is doing for the military this year that i really want to take advantage of b/c i have a feeling something like this won't come along again for us. . .
through the end of the year, active duty military members can get a free 5-day park hopper pass w/ water park option. THEN they can get up to 5 more 5-day passes for family/friends for $99 each. these passes do NOT include the park hopper or water park options, but they can be added for another $25 each. kids under 3 don't need tickets to disney EVER, so for us to go for 5 days would cost between $99 and $149 (depending on whether we got the park hopper and water park options for me, which we probably would)! :)
then i was looking at where we'd stay if we do this, and i found that all the resorts, including the military one, were out of our price range. . . BUT i found a days inn nearby that has free breakfast and a free shuttle to and from the magic kingdom, as well as a pool. :) once we get to the magic kingdom, we can just take the monorail to the other parks, and that's free too! this particular days inn has rooms w/ 2 QUEEN beds instead of 2 doubles, so it's an even better deal - it's $40 per night! the resorts are all more than double that for the cheapest rooms, w/ the exception of the one where you camp out. . . and even that one's about $10 more per night! after that, we'd just need to worry about gas to get to florida and back and food.
in total we could likely do disney for about $400! how awesome is that?!?!?! but wait there's more. . .
i remembered i had info about free admission to sea world for military families, so i checked and it's still good! it's for up to 4 free passes for each military member, so if we stay for an extra night, we could do sea world too! i'm SO excited, i really hope i can convince jon that we can afford to do this b/c we'll REALLY never get a chance like this again (at these prices, at least)! SUPER happy evelyn! :D

ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!!! Hope you guys can make it!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I saw that you are selling cloth wipes, and it made me remember that you use cloth diapers... Have you visited the Cloth Diaper Whisperer's blog???
We actually took advantage of that same deal when Uncle Bill came home from Kuwait. Make sure you have your military ID with you. Also you can get free tickets into Busch Gardens- but you need to go online and go to Salute America I think.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you eat breakfast before you go to the parks- food inside is VERY expensive. If you do anything inside the park food wise - go to the Contemporary Hotel and make reservations for the Mickey's Kitchen I think- GREAT~ If you need any more help - drop me an email- the Travel Agent in me is coming through!
