Pre-Order Disney Theme Park Tickets at Shades of Green

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!

    Howdy, looking to pre-purchase 4 day mil hopper passes to Disney World, can you help?

    1. Steve says:

      If you are staying at Shades of Green you can take advantage of this offer. If not you can go to your base’s (or the nearest Base) ITT office to buy the Armed Forces Salute 4-day tickets.

    We just used this new service at Shades of Green last week. We preordered our 4-day park hopper passes. I wish this could have been done totally online instead of printing out a form, handwrirting the information including credit card, and faxing or scanning it back. But, it was relatively easy. They confirmed they received my request. The tickets, however, were not waiting for us at check-in! We checked in at 11PM. The poor girl at the counter had to go “hunt down” our tickets, but she did it. It just took some time. Overall, much better than waiting in the morning line for tickets, but the process still could be smoother.

    1. Steve says:

      Hi Lauren, thanks so much for the update! A little bummer that the tickets weren’t at the desk, but sounds like the wait wasn’t too bad.

      I do hate that long line at the ticket office in the morning! It’s nice Shades is trying to improve.

      Hi Ron,

      There is a huge amount of information about Disney’s Armed Forces Salute on this site. Here are just a couple of pages for you to check out:
      Disney’s Armed Forces Salute
      Disney’s Armed Forces Salute FAQ

      You’ll see reading these pages that there are separate offers for Disney World and Disneyland.

      One important point is that being 100% disabled does not make you eligible for this offer. Rather Disney’s terms state that you have to have the DAVPRM code on an ID. DAVPRM stands for disabled veteran, permanent.

  4. Ron Nottage says:

    Yes on my DoD military ID, it has this printed on it an states just what you said my Dod ID is form 2765 it say on the back. and has the DAVPRM code on the ID card also.
    Thanks, but how do I obtain tickets for July dates in 2012 and hotel reservations also ?
    DO you buy the Disneyland tickets and hotel accomodations at the same time to get a package deal. 2 adults and 2 kids 8 & 10 and a 1 year old baby.
    what are my choices for Anaheim California location for this time frame please.

    Thanks
    Ron

      Hey Ron,

      That’s Great. You buy the 3-Day $99 tickets once you arrive at Disneyland, at their ticket windows.

      As far as the discounted hotel reservations, I recommend you contact my recommended Disney Travel Agent – Ears of Experience, they can check prices, make your discounted reservations and give you lots of great information. There is no fee for their service and they are a veteran owned small business.

      You can click on the link in this answer, their ad in the site sidebar, or give them a call at 1-877-80MOUSE. Please tell hem I referred you!

    What website do you go to, to preorder the military tickets from Shades of Green? I clicked on the sites you had listed on the website but it kept bringing me back to the same page that I was on. We are going to WDW August 5- 10 and want to get our tickets taken care of. Thanks and really have found lots of great info on your website.

    1. Steve says:

      Hi Cindy,

      The pre-ordering of tickets is for those staying at Shades, and they’ll send you an e-mail with directions to fax in your order. Your tickets will be waiting for you at check in. If you haven’t heard from them yet you could give them a call.
