1 March 2026 by Steve Bell 8 Comments

The Shades of Green Resort at Walt Disney World has a Military Ticket Sales Office.

At the Shades of Green Ticket Sales Office you may purchase Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets as well as all other varieties of Disney World tickets, plus tickets for other local attractions like: Universal Studios Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, and many other Orlando/Central Florida area attractions.

Prices at the Shades of Green Ticket Sales Office are comparable to those that you’d find at your local Base MWR Ticket Office and no sales tax is charged.

The ticket office except all forms of payment including the Star Card.

Purchase tickets in person

The ticket sales office has a sales counter where you can purchase your tickets in person.

Just sign in using the iPad at the kiosk and have a seat in the comfy waiting area. Someone will call you when it’s your turn.

See this post for more information on the new waiting area.

Pre-Purchase Tickets

Shades of Green’s Guests and others who are eligible to stay at Shades of Green are able to pre-purchase their tickets before ever leaving home. This is a very important benefit as Disney World’s new FastPass Plus system allows you to make attraction reservations from home ahead of time, but a valid ticket is required to do so.

See this post for more information on pre-purchasing tickets from Shades of Green.

Comments:

Only one employee waiting on customers during both visits; a 2nd customer service rep could have avoided a 25-minute wait for the last users to log in when I was waited on but they have to manage employee hours, too.

Unable to give me plastic ticket cards and obligated me to go to main Disney gate

Staff was friendly and patient. They helped us get the best value tickets.

We ordered tickets ahead of time via email. Also talk to someone on the phone to get some questions answered. The service was fine. It took a while to get the tickets In the mail, but they were correct and preactivated. It seems like every time we go there’s a slightly different process for ticketing, Mostly due to the constantly changing Disney rules.

Excellent and knowable about best princess and where to go. Even bought Universal tickets.

Great service. Nice people! Always answered my questions within 24 hours.

Like all of Disney, we plan to go at off times. They have always been very helpful and efficient!

Pre-order and emailing ticket scans are great. (except they lost my hard-ticket and took almost 30 min to re-issue and trf all my fast passes. Ist time ever having them make a mistake.

We did our tickets online, and used the form to get our passes in advance to take advantage of MDE and magic bands. This is a GREAT service.. I highly recommend it, and promote the ticket service to military friends not staying at SOG (unless they get a better deal through Disney Promotions).

We were NOT told when we purchased the 4 ticket that we bought they need to be used by December 17. Therefore ewe lost 2 days on 2 of our tickets and lost 1 day on 2 tickets. We should have been told there was an expiration date for the tickets., because we purchased them so close to the date of expiration. We lost $ on them.
