Unlock Fun & Savings: Fort Belvoir MWR Leisure Travel Services Guide

For those stationed at or associated with Fort Belvoir, finding affordable and convenient ways to enjoy leisure time, travel, and entertainment is a key benefit of the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program. A cornerstone of these offerings is the Fort Belvoir Mwr Leisure Travel Services (LTS), your dedicated resource for accessing discounted tickets, planning getaways, and exploring destinations near and far. Conveniently located within the Community Center, LTS serves as a one-stop shop designed to help eligible patrons make the most of their free time and travel budgets, positioning itself as a valuable gateway to a wide array of entertainment options and travel opportunities.

The Fort Belvoir Mwr Leisure Travel Services office is situated within the Community Center, providing easy access for personnel and their families. Whether you’re contemplating a spontaneous weekend retreat, seeking savings on popular attraction tickets, planning a hotel stay, or envisioning a larger trip to distant locations, LTS aims to meet your needs. Their personalized service assists patrons in obtaining tickets, arranging tours, and providing essential travel information, streamlining the process of planning leisure activities and vacations.

Electronic Ticket Orders are a prominent service offered by LTS, providing access to a nationwide list of tickets, including those for popular attractions and amusement parks. Before embarking on a theme park adventure in the local area or finalizing plans for your next vacation, visiting or contacting the Leisure Travel Services office at the Fort Belvoir Community Center is highly recommended for discounted tickets and hotel stays. The LTS office offers tickets not just to parks, but also to movie theaters and various attractions across the entire United States. These military discounted rates are available to eligible individuals, including Active Duty personnel, Retirees, DoD Civilians, Reservists, and their Family Members, provided they possess a valid military ID card.

A comprehensive list of attractions and amusement park tickets is available, often provided as a PDF document. It is crucial for patrons to verify the expiration dates of tickets prior to purchase. Additionally, the office advises that before purchasing tickets through the Fort Belvoir LTS office, individuals should visit the specific park’s official website to thoroughly review their health and safety protocols, guidelines, operating hours, and information. Notably, most attractions currently require advance reservations in addition to possessing a valid ticket. All sales through LTS are final, with no refunds or exchanges permitted after purchase.

Walt Disney World tickets are among the most sought-after offerings. The office provides details on the Walt Disney World Military Salute Promotional Tickets for specific validity periods, such as January 1 to December 19, 2025. These promotional tickets come in various options with fixed pricing based on the number of days and park hopping features.

*Ticket price is per person for anyone three (3) years and older.

Eligibility for the Military Salute Tickets typically includes Active or Retired members of the U.S. Military (including National Guard, Reservists, U.S Coast Guard), and the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Fort Belvoir Leisure Travel Services has adopted Disney’s new electronic ticket system, eliminating the need for patrons to wait for physical vouchers. Purchases can be made by visiting the office or initiating an electronic order via email. Electronic orders generally take 1-2 business days to process, with options for in-office pickup or shipping at an additional fee. Information on Walt Disney World’s operating procedures is also linked for patron reference.

Beyond the Military Salute offer, regular Walt Disney World Theme-Park Tickets are also available, ranging from 1-Day to 10-Day options, with add-ons like Water and Sports, Hopper, and Hopper Plus. Pricing for these tickets is variable, depending on the specific first day of use. Patrons are encouraged to contact the Leisure Travel Office by phone or email with their exact travel dates to receive a price quote. The new electronic ticketing system used by LTS ensures quick turnaround times for both Military Salute and standard theme-park ticket purchases.

For those interested in group excursions, Leisure Travel Services organizes Bus Trips. General information for participants includes meeting at the Community Center early in the morning (e.g., 7 a.m.) for a 7:30 a.m. departure. A restroom break is scheduled approximately two hours into the trip in each direction. Seating on the 55-passenger luxury motor coach is on a first-come, first-served basis.
