MILITARY DISCOUNTS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
Military families are eligible, of course, for all Walt Disney World deals and specials available to the general public.
In addition, Walt Disney World often makes special deals available to members of and retirees from the U.S. military, and from related DoD organizations.
The most valuable of these is the Armed Forces Salute.
In addition, Shades of Green, an Armed Forces Recreation Center located near Walt Disney World’s Polynesian resort and nestled among Walt Disney World’s renowned Palm and Magnolia golf course, offers wonderfully low rates for the quality of its rooms.
Shades of Green discounts its already low rates from time to time.
And of course Disney’s general public deals and specials apply to military families as well.
This site recommends Shades of Green for first-time visitors only under a couple of special circumstances. See this for more on first time family visits and Shades of Green.
Steve Bell is the Military Moderator on this site. And Steve’s Military Disney Tips has for years been the go-to site for military families looking to make the most out of their Disney World vacations.
But like every other website (especially mine), finding exactly what you need to know, in the right order, sometimes isn’t as easy as you’d like it to be.
So the great news is that Steve has just published a Disney World guidebook for military families.
With entire chapters devoted to the 2016 Armed Forces Salute, to Shades of Green, and to other deals and perks available to military families, I can’t recommend it enough!!
It’s available as a PDF–probably the most convenient format–here, and on Amazon.com here
This book will be a great help to military families contemplating a Disney World visit in 2016!!

Thanks, Steve!!!
My son is active Army National Guard. We were told he could purchase the Military Salute 4 day park hopper tickets to Disney World. My question…if we buy these tickets in advance at his military base and if there were (god forbid) some extenuating circumstances out of our control..say a death or he gets called for deployment … would we be able to get a refund and/or apply the cost of those tickets to general public tickets ?
Lara, got you on the Jedis. I think the main things will be to make sure you do what looks like the most fun in the first 2/3 of your trip, so that if you are worn out and need to take more time off, you won’t miss much…
Just remembered why we have two early mornings at HS because the boys want to do the Star Wars Jedi training both those days and I think we need to get there early to register them?
Anywhere else you think we could cut back for more time off? (I know you’re probably going to say we should not do two water parks – just don’t like to miss out on anything!)
