    It seems unless your foreign forces under US Orders then this is the case:

    Unfortunately, you would not be eligible to stay at Shades of Green.
    You would be eligible to come to the resort to purchase discount
    attraction tickets. Please view our current attraction ticket prices at
    http://www.shadesofgreen.org/ATS.htm.

    Hi Courtney. So British soldiers just in Florida on holiday wont be able to stay at the Shades of Green hotel, they are only allowed to purchase discounted tickets?

    We always ask if places do a Forces discount .... they aren't always advertised but loads of places will give you the equivalent of student discount or sometimes staff discount.
    Vue cinemas is one we use regularly - you can get in for student price, it saves a fortune.

    Hi Somerset Snowman,

    Thanks for this. I looked at the voucher but it wouldn't accept a UK postcode. Good advice to put your hotel address in.

    We'll be there over Christmas and New Year. The flights have cost an arm and a leg so we're looking to make savings wherever we can.

    http://www.forcesdiscounts-mod.co.uk/ is the official MOD discount site. Agree that some of the discounts are pretty good while others are just discount vouchers available elsewhere. Another good link is http://www.forcesdiscount.com which has been going for over ten years.
    I noticed today they have put up info on Stamford Homes Forces Package offering 5% deposit paid and other discounts for property purchase.
