Anheuser-Busch's Heres to the Heroes Military Salute 2012Anheuser-Busch  has renewed their Here’s to the Heroes Salute  for 2012

This very popular offer allows Free One-Day admission to Anheuser-Busch’s theme parks for themselves and up to 3 direct dependents.

The parks included in this offer are

  • Sea World Orlando
  • Sea World San Antonio
  • Sea World San Diego
  • Busch Gardens Tampa

This fantastic offer has been ongoing since 2005 without any break.

Anheuser-Busch Officials confirmed for me today that the Here’s to the Heroes program has indeed been renewed for 2012.

They apologized that their website herosalute.com has not been updated and said to expect it to reflect the renewal within a few days. As I type this the site says the offer ends 31 December 2011.

 

The Anheuser-Busch Company also wanted to pass on their thanks for all that the military does for our country and they fully support us and enjoy being able to make this offer available!

Military-Disney-Tips (C) DisneyHappy New Year from Military Disney Tips!

I’m so thankful for the previous great year and look forward to another super one.

2011

This past Year was a huge year of growth for MDT. We received coverage from many sources, including a national Military Magazine. Traffic on the site grew by 4 times and newsletter readers grew by over 1000!

There was of course exciting news early this year with the extension of Disney’s Armed Forces Salute through 30 September 2012, from 30 Sept 2011. Although it took several months to really sort out the details.

Shades of Green began offering many varied discounts, different prices, different items included, and different lengths. Some announced in advance and some short notice. It was quite a task keeping up with it.

2012

I’m looking forward to another great year.

Here’s what is in store for Military Discounts…

Pre-Order Disney Theme Park Tickets at Shades of Green

Dec 27th, 2011

Shades of Green at Walt Disney World has introduced a new time saving service.

The Problem

Guests staying at Shades of Green who planned on purchasing their Military Discounted Magic your Way theme park tickets or Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets once they arrived often encountered long lines at Shade’s Ticket Office. This could cause frustration on the part of the guests trying to get to Disney’s theme parks as quick as possible, especially those trying to make the Extra Magic Hour early park opening first thing in the morning.

The Solution

Shades has now started emailing guests prior to their stay with pre-purchasing information for Disney’s tickets as well as Universal Orlando, Sea World, and all the other military discount tickets that they sell for the Orlando area.

The email includes links to the current ticket price document as well as an order form which can be downloaded, printed, filled out, and faxed in.

Your tickets will then be waiting for you upon check-in at the front desk.

Kudos to Shades of Green

This is a great solution to a problem that has plagued Shades’ guests for a long time.

Also thanks to long-time reader Jim for passing along this info!

Shades of Green Resort - Wallt Disney World FloridaApril is designated as the Month of the Military Child, underscoring the important role military children play in the armed forces community. The Month of the Military Child is an opportunity to recognize military children and youth for their heroism, character, courage, sacrifices and continued resilience.

There are 1.7 million American children and youth under 18 with a parent serving in the military and about 900,000 with one or both parents deployed multiple times.

Shades of Green is celebrating the second half of the month by offering a 4-night package.

From 14 through 30 April 2011 these 4-night packages will start at $349.00 (based upon double occupancy).

That works out to $87.25 per night a big savings on the regular category 1 price.

The tie-in to the Month of the Military Child is that besides the great room rate, for each paying adult at Shades of Green restaurants a child under 10 will eat for free.

Call Shades to reserve your package: (888) 593-2242
