Thread: Free entry to Florida Theme Parks for all British soldiers

I'm currently in the Sand Pit and have a holiday to Orlando booked for the family during POTL. Can anyone confirm whether Seaworld etc are still letting us in for free in 2009?

Let me check and I will let you know.

Thanks for your service and stay safe!

Anheuser-Busch is honored to salute the men and women of our armed forces and their families. Throughout 2009, members of the military and as many as three direct dependents may enter any one of Anheuser-Busch's SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Sesame Place parks with a single-day complimentary admission.

For your service and sacrifice, we thank you.

Also, see this fairly extensive (if not comprehensive) list of military discounts offered all over the US. Availability to members of HM's forces is likely up for negotiation....

I'm off to Florida over Christmas, and was wondering if anyone has managed to get any discounts recently? If so how did you go about it? Just flash your I.D. at the point of admission?

Any tips would be appreciated.

If you go to a nearby millitary base with a MOD90 they will probably let you use their facilities. Buying/booking things on a millitary base will get you all sorts of discounts.

Ahh right, well seeing as i live very close to 2 US Airbases in the UK, i'll try that route then.

Thanks for your response.

I didn't mean in the UK. You probably wont be allowed to use their facilities here. In Germany or the USA it shouldn't be a problem. It is a fair few years since I did it, but I doubt if things are any different.

ETA: Hey you never know though. Wont hurt to ask.

Yeah i guessed you meant in the States, but hey i'll give it a try over here, you never know and if not at least i'll be able to find out where to head State side.

Cheers for your time.

In Germany these days (since 11/09) you need to get a pass, you get the paperwork from the welfare office, signed by Bde then go down and get a photo ID.
on the plus side we can now use the commissary (never used to)

The amount of PX's has gone right down, although Ramstein has just had a massive rebuild.

JumpinJarhead, I may well take you up on that offer!

Free entry Nice one

Just the £1500 to get there to save and were off :D

I know getting onto US bases in Germany is hard going now, but i've been on the bases over here in UK a few times recently, the MOD90 works fine, as the bases here are classed as RAF. I have a few US Military mates so will try and see if they can help this side.
I was really trying to see if it was as easy as flashing the MOD90 at the ticket booth to get discount, or is it a case of having extra forms signed up to say your serving , and recently been on Operations?
