Repost - Salute to ALL our Veterans - Shades of Green - Jan and Sept

I was talking with a fellow intercotee this past #ICOT20 meet, and they did not know about the following so I am reposting:

Through the Shades of Green “Salute to Our Veterans” program, all military veterans who have received an honorable discharge have an opportunity to vacation at Shades of Green during January and September.

Reservations are subject to availability.

Proof of honorable discharge is required with a copy of a current DD-214 form. Rooms booked with this special promotion will pay the Category 3 rate (From USD 155.00 / Night) . You may sponsor up to three rooms if you qualify for this promotion.

Room rates are based on two adults occupying a standard room and four adults occupying the suites. Add $15 per additional adult ages 18 years or older.

One of the great benefits is the Shades of Green ticket sales office where they sell Military Discounted Tickets for all local area attractions (including Disney). When staying there using this program you may buy any ticket they sell at the military discount rate, except the Disney Armed Forces Salute tickets which require a current ID for use. You also can eat breakfast at the best kept secret of all times! Breakfast: Buffet (Includes: Pastries, breads, Eggs, made to order Omelets, made to order Waffles, Quesadilla, Biscuits and Gravy, Bacon, Sausage, and Fresh Fruit), juice/milk/coffee/soda and a whole bunch more.... $13.95 adults $6.95 kids 5-11, kids 4 and under free

I've not heard of this but will certainly look into using it. What are the ticket rates ??

How do you book these rooms?

it says to call, however, I have always been able to go here and book: https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=59007&Chain=15249

I just chose the "Veteran's Rate with DD214 (Honorable Discharge)" on the page where it asks you to input your category.

I have an AP, so I have never checked out the ticket rates, but if you call 888-593-2242, I am sure they can tell you.

Just booked my rooms for marathon weekend Jan 2019, and learned that the rate is now $159.00 a night. Still the best deal even at that price. Also, if you ask, they have several rooms that have a concrete wall on the balcony (so golf balls do not hit the sliding glass doors, if you ask for one of these rooms, they take $5 off your room rate.

I sent this info to DS. Thank you.
