Going to florida

Myself and my family are going to Florida in the near future. Can anyone tell me what discounts we can get with my I.D. card at themeparks restaurants etc. Thank you for your help

The big ones are Busch Gardens and Seaworld. These were free. TBH a lot of places will give discount upon production of forces id.

we are going for 7 nights and do you think it would be better to buy tickets before going or when we are there? Or for that matter use I.D. card to get in places for free?

Most of the advice you can find if you search here.
Seaworld or B gardens will let you in for free but only one of them per year.

Cheap tickets can be brought at Shades Green in orlando DW ( they have a website) however you can only collect them there. I found that attraction tickets direct was just as cheap and they send them to your homw here so less fuss.

Car hire i found was best as per the advice on the main site with the cheapest found on KAYAK ( 4x4 for two weeks £246, cheapest could have been a focus at £156 for two weeks).

the only other thing is dont forget to use the PX ( or naffi equivilent) on any army, navy or air force base as the discounts can be huge ( just show your id card).

have a good holiday.

We went to Vegas and used OH card, we got discounts all over, less on stuff like food but up to 30% of things like clothes. When paying by credit card use your Miltary ID as ID and often you will get extras such as free spa passes in hotels.

Always ask for Milatary discount not forces as they don't know what you are talking about.

Even McDonalds do a 10% discount. It soon becomes the norm asking for discounts.

WOW I know we can do this in Germany (well they have clamped down a bit) but didn't know you could do this in the US!

The PX won't always let you in unless you have posting papers that show you are stationed in the area. It depends on the person on the door I think, we have got in with Hubby's id when on holiday and then other times been turned away. They seem to have tightened up on this. Having said that if you do get in the discounts are great

The US are great for military discounts. Enjoy!
