Hi guys. I know I haven't posted very much in talk disney but I have a really good questions for everyone and I wanted to see if anyone has any kind of info on it.

I am a huge Disneyland fanactic and this coming Christmas my husband wanted to go visit the park before he left to his tour in Afganistan. He is in the Army and he hear... I guess you could say a rumor that if you go in Class A's or B's that they will let you into the park for free...

Now I know that the military get a discount (about 10 bucks) but is it true that they can get in for free if they wear the Class A's?

I know it would save us a pretty penny if it was true. Plus my honey doesn't want to go in his, as he says, "monkey suit" if it isn't.

Anyone have any info on this???

Thanks...

I have never heard of letting the military in for free, but they do have some nice discounts.

I was just wondering ckenlady,

but where did you get the information for Disney World?

[ckenlady]

that came from Disney Worlds web site, I never found anything about free military tickets, or getting in free wearing your uniform. That sounds like it might be a rumour as I am sure Disney would want their military guests to be just a comfortable as everyone else.

this is available to everyone at Disneyland, from Disneyland.com:

5-for-3 Day Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® Ticket


Play 2 Extra Days FREE and receive FREE SHIPPING when you purchase a 5-for-3-Day Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® Ticket online before October 15, 2003. Enjoy five full days of admission to both Disneyland® park and Disney's California Adventure™ park for the full, non-discounted price of three days. Note: This ticket is not available at the Main Entrance ticket booths.
