So if you wanted to be able to use all 6 thickets that were allowed, you would have to buy them all at the same time, even if you might or might not be able to go again later. When MDT pointed out to Disney they were discouraging repeat visits with this rule they dropped it like a hot Mr. Potato Head. This rule didn&#8217;t last 2 weeks!<\/p>\n<p>Prior to 2012 there was the issue of Mickey&#8217;s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey&#8217;s Very Merry Christmas parties&#8217; tickets being sold out prior to military families arriving on property to buy their discounted tickets. After discussions with MDT, WDW changed their policy, allowing the military to buy their tickets even if that night&#8217;s event was sold out.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013 we got Disneyland to drop their requirement that the military member enter the DLR theme parks with their guests every single time, allowing visits to separate parks or different arrival times.<\/p>\n<p>After FastPass+ was introduced at WDW, MDT pressed for earlier and earlier\u00a0Disney Armed Forces Salute renewal announcements and ticket availability, so that the military community could make their 60-day FastPasses.<\/p>\n<p>These are what we feel were our big successes with Disney, but there were many other small victories too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14586\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14586\" class=\"wp-image-14586\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs-540x360.jpg\" alt=\"Military Disney Tips Turns 10yrs Old New Disney Springs\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-DIsney-Springs.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WDW&#8217;s New Disney Springs<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Great_Partners_Military_Discounts\"><\/span>My Great Partners &amp; Military Discounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This year will be my 9th year partnering with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/ears-of-experience\/\">Ears of Experience<\/a>, an authorized Disney vacation planner and Veteran Owned Business.

In the mean time I&#8217;ll keep plugging along part-time as I have been so far, bringing you all the info I can.<\/p>\n<p>On the horizon, we&#8217;ll be keeping an eye out for new military discounts and cautiously watch Disney to see if the\u00a0Disney Armed Forces Salutes will continue in the new improving economy with the huge attendance draw (Star Wars) coming soon to WDW in 2019. When Harry Potter opened at Universal (a huge attendance draw), they dropped their highly discounted military tickets for a number of years!<\/p>\n<p>Remember all discounts (military or otherwise) are offered to draw extra bodies, if there are too many bodies, there is no need to discount (such as during Disney Salute Blockout Dates). In the past Disney has publicly stated their desire to eventually eliminate all discounts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14589\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14589\" class=\"wp-image-14589\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic-540x360.jpg\" alt=\"Military Disney Tips Turns 10yrs Old Disney Magic\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Military-Disney-Tips-10yrs-Old-Magic.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disney Magic!<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Wonderful_Experience\"><\/span>A Wonderful Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Besides all of the hard work that goes into producing all of the content for our readers, there is also that tasking, monotonous, tiring, research that we have to do in Disney&#8217;s parks and Resorts.

Since starting MDT there have been roughly 35 trips to WDW or DLR. This has afforded me the opportunity to stay at many of Disney&#8217;s wonderful resorts, eat at many diverse Disney restaurants, all while having a great time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve met both virtually and in person (at the occasional &#8220;meet up&#8221;
