The tickets options for Walt Disney World are:

- Four-Day Water Park and More Tickets for $138.00
- Four-Day Park Hopper Tickets plus the Water Park and More Option for $165.00.
The ticket option for Disneyland is:
- Three-Day Park Hopper Tickets
These tickets can be purchased at Shades of Green, Your local Base Ticket Office, or Disney Theme Park ticket booths. See here for info on the Park Hopper or Water Park Fun & More options. Tax is only applicable if you purchase at Disney theme park ticket windows, there is no tax at Shades of Green or your base's Ticket/Travel Office
Without a doubt the best discount the military normally has when visiting Disney World in Orlando is the Shades of Green Resort! It is one of the Armed Forces Recreation Centers operated worldwide for the benefit of military members. Shades of Green has quite a few room discount packages, combine these with Disney's Armed Forces Salute to really save on your vacation.
You can purchase military discounted Disney theme park tickets through Shades of Green once you arrive at WDW or you can buy them ahead of time at your local base Ticket/Travel Office.
Another great way to save on your stay is through the Armed Forces Vacation Club. If you don't mind staying off Disney property you can stay at a local area condo for a super rate.
If you buy Your Theme Park tickets ahead of time you can spread out your cost. Admission tickets to Disney remain valid until used. This is especially good if ticket prices go up after you purchase your tickets (you won't have to make up the difference). You can buy tickets way in advance at home and they are will remain good until you start using them. We once bought multi-day tickets with the no expiration option and used them for three different trips to Disney!
