Find what you’re looking for online or on-site

To find the latest specials from major entertainment attractions, such as Disney Military Salute tickets, visit JBLMlts.com If what you’re looking for isn’t listed, call 253-967-3085; they can help direct you to other discounts.

You can drop in and purchase your tickets, purchase them over the phone and pick up later or have the tickets sent to you (for an additional shipping fee).

Here are some tips from the staff for getting the best for less: Continued on page 18.

• If you’re a military family planning a Disney vacation, buy special 2023 Disney Military Salute tickets good through Friday, Dec. 15. Also reserve your specially priced Disneyland Resort room (for active duty and retired U.S. military personnel).

• Instead of purchasing Disney packages, buy individual tickets for hotels, car rentals and airfare with military discounts. You’ll save more money and get more of what you want. Talk to the staff first if you need help.

• Even though some customers can squeeze in a last-minute vacation, look into next year’s cruises early through American ForcesTravel.com before the cruise lines are totally booked.

• Would you like to explore Mount Rainier or Olympic National Park? If you’re an active duty military family, in the Reserves or National Guard, take advantage of America the Beautiful free yearly passes to national parks wherever you travel (an $80 value!). Get your pass at any national park or wildlife refuge that charges an entrance fee by showing your military ID. Veterans and Gold Star families qualify for free lifetime passes.
