Does this apply t0 the 2021 tickets? I had a representative at Shades of Green tell me yesterday they needed to be used within 14 days. I wasn’t sure if this was new for the 2021 promotion or if she was giving me the wrong information.
Hi Heather,
Make sure you are not talking apples and oranges.
There are actually 3 kinds of WDW military tickets.
1. The Disney Armed Forces Salute – Special tickets which this post applies to.
2. The Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets which do have to be used within 14 days after first use.
3. The Shades of Green Stars and Stripes passes that have to be used in a set number of days based on stay length.

I want to go twice this year with different family members. Can I use two tickets out of the 6 we can buy for myself?
Yes absolutely Anne! You could use them all if you wanted (though a pass would probably be cheaper).
