Disney's Armed Forces Salute Military Discount Has Been Extended through 30 September 2013

The information below was released by an ITT Office and started spreading around the internet on 2 August. They were not supposed to release the info as Disney has not made their official press release. Which my contact at WDW Media Relations tells me will be mid-week (week of 6 Aug).
My contact did however confirm that the below information is correct, but not complete.
HOT - Disney just began taking resort reservations with the new discount

We used those tickets in 09 while DS was active duty Marine. He's now a disabled Veteran but not retired Veteran. Is he still able to puchase these tickets? He's going with us for the New grandbaby trip 10/2013. He's one reason I purchased DVC. So him and his family can go off my pts because he doesn't have much money due to his PTSD but don't get me started on that because I get angry as Hell. But anyway back to WDW. Is he eligible to purchase thoe tickets? He actually now has a civilian job on Randolph AFB which is right down the street from my home. I guest he can ask there.

Thanks all and Semper Fi!

Hope this includes DL again. We could use that in 2013. We get APs for WDW so don't need them there anymore.

He should ask there. Shades of Green also allows DOD employees to take advantage of many discounts.

Good luck for your son Evil; I hope he (and MANY deserving others) can take advantage of the deal. I hope you can get some DL price relief too Steelers!
