Joyce–my friends at Destinations in Florida have confirmed that you have to buy just one day worth of tix (for each room occupant). Usually it’s a slightly better deal for military families to do that and free dining, and use the military salute for the rest of their tickets.
To get them to help you, use the form on the lower right side of this site.
Hope this helps, Dave
Joyce, to get the free dining plan you also have to buy (undiscounted) tickets. I’m not sure if it’s a minimum of one day of tix per person, as has been the case in some past deals, or more. I’ll find out!
Do you know if the military salute discounts can be combined with the free dining plan? We are planning on going during one of the weeks and was just curious about the best deal.
Dee–did you try? The reason I ask is that my source for the dates has corrected them, and October 8 now ends one of the available periods…
Otherwise the blackout dates are periods when Disney feels it can sell hotel rooms well enough without extra discounts, so it likely won’t add other discounts that cover these black out dates.
Do you think they will offer another discount for those who are coming on the black out days? We are coming Oct 8-14, but there is no discount 🙁
