For the eighth year in a row, Westgate Resorts near Orlando, Fla., will salute U.S. military members and their families with a free weekend stay next May.

To apply, go to the 2019 Military Weekend website starting at 6 a.m. Pacific time Nov. 9. Fill out an application form and reserve a spot with a $100 refundable deposit. (Airfare or other transportation is not included.)
The Military Weekend program includes:
— a free stay for two nights at the Westgate Town Center & Spa or the Westgate Vacation Villas Resort & Spa, both in Kissimmee. The offer is good for up to four guests.
— free admission for up to four people to the resorts’ onsite Shipwreck Island Water Park.
— free access to a Military Resource Fair, a patriotic concert featuring actor Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band, and a fireworks display.
Active military members and their families need to show a valid military ID or military dependent ID. Combat veterans and Gold Star families need a DD214 or DD1300 form for verification.
