While that definitely is a factor in Disney&#8217;s reasoning, they do have other, more immediate reasons to make these offers.<\/p>\n<p>Many new to military life may be unaware that the recent semi-constant Military Salute offers are a rarity in the history of the Disney Company. In the past, Disney offered one free ticket to military members after Operation Desert Storm. But during the twenty-first century, these offers have only come at times of reduced theme park\/resort attendance and are designed to draw more people to the Disney vacation destinations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The current round of Disney Salutes began on 4 January 2009, after the start of the 2008 Financial Crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Before this timeframe, the previous special offer was in the first half of 2002 during the post-9\/11 travel industry downturn.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Salute offers, all we in the military had in the way of a Disney discount was the slightly discounted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/military-discount-theme-park-tickets\/regular-military-discounted-magic-your-way-tickets\/\">regular military discounted Magic Your Way tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disney Attendance Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Disney\u2019s main purpose behind the blockout dates is to dissuade you from coming then, as there are already way too many people in the Disney theme parks!<\/p>\n<p>The timeframes of Disney\u2019s military salute blockout dates are during peak attendance periods. During these timeframes, Disney often closes their theme parks to arriving guests during the day due to maximum attendance levels. Only those staying on property are allowed in; others are turned away.<\/p>\n<p>The way Disney looks at this is strictly from a business perspective. If they can fill the parks during those timeframes and actually have to turn away people willing to pay full price, then they\u2019d be crazy to let those paying half price for military tickets block those spots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up.jpg\" alt=\"Disney's Armed Forces Salute Blockout Dates\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Animal-Kingdom-Up-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_This_Helps_You\"><\/span>How This Helps You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The above is a pragmatic look at Disney\u2019s reasoning. But here is my positive outlook on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>These <strong>high attendance days<\/strong>, for lack of better words, <strong>are simply miserable in the theme parks<\/strong>. There are just way too many people, lines are unbearable, and you\u2019ll be unable to accomplish all that you\u2019d like to do.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s really a blessing in disguise that you can\u2019t use your Armed Forces Salute tickets during Spring Break or other peak times. It forces you to re-evaluate your vacation schedule and plan to go at another time. You\u2019ll end up thanking yourself because your experience will be so much better during lower attendance periods.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, this may involve taking the kids out of school, but you can take along class\/homework and make opportunities to turn the vacation into a learning experience.<\/p>\n<p>Share your thoughts on Blockout Dates in the comments section below!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Why can\u2019t I use my Disney Armed Forces Salute tickets at Disney World or Disneyland during Spring Break or Christmas?
