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!!

Dave, I’m a retired veteran from Canada and my question is, do retired Canadian veterans qualify for discounted Disney world and other theme parks tickets?
Thanks Steve!
Hi David,
You are eligible for the Disney Armed Forces Salute. Here’s a quote from my AFS FAQ “Permanently Disabled Veterans are also eligible for this offer. These military personnel will have a military ID with a DAVPRM status.”
You are also eligible to stay at Shades of Green, from their eligibility list: “Others separated from the Armed Forces and their family members- Honorably Discharged Veterans with 100% service-connected disability (and their families)”.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for your service!
Steve
Hi David, first, thanks for your service. Second, I believe you are eligible for some deals, but not others, which require you to be on active duty or career retired. I’ll check and get back to you.
I am a 100% disabled veteran due to wounds received in Vietnam, am I eligble for the military discounts from Disney. I have an military DOD ID card.
Thank you
