This seems like the kind of thing BDCP was made for... nice find.

I like how they point out that you can get this deal in the CG as if somehow members of the CG would think they're not included... is it me or is that kind of dick or at least stupid?

That's pretty awesome. I've never been to Disney World.

When I clicked this thread I was thinking it would be an article about Disneyland declaring sovereignty and forming its own military.

Something like this?

Took advantage of this in 01 as an E-1. The guy in front of us was paying through the nose for his family, the four of us just walked up, showed our military ID and got tickets.

Shades of Green

Shades of green is a great deal as well. We recently stayed there and I was presently surprised, I had pictured the pool at Brushwood on caddy day but that was not the case.

I'll second the Shades of Green recommendation. In fact, we've already booked a few nights since hearing about the Disney deal. I would recommend to book as soon as possible though. Once word of this deal is spread throughout the fleet, I have a feeling that SOG will fill up extremely fast.

Looks like I have my OCS graduation trip figured out. Thanks for the find!

This will be a nice trip after school gets out.

I have done this twice. The company you keep as you do this greatly affects how much fun it can be.

In the past, if SOG was full or being renovated, the Disney folks would work with you to arrange lodging at one of their other moderate-priced themed hotels at the SOG price.

It's worth asking the question if you can't get into SOG.

I met my wife while we were drinking our respective ways around the world (in opposite directions) at Epcot. So it holds a special esteem for us. Nice to know that they've brought this program back, as the last time I was there, I got the, "You have to buy your discounted tickets from ITT," dismissal. I recommend going during the first two weeks of October if possible, as the Disney International Food and Wine Festival is underway. LOTS of free booze and chow.
