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!!

Hi, you are right, the only discounts you are eligible for are those available to the general public. See this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2010/03/29/walt-disney-worlds-latest-spring-and-summer-deal/
Hi. My dad is a Vietnam Vet, but did not retire from the Army. Our entire family is heading to disney this summer. I dont believe that he would be eligible for the “Disney Armed Forces Salute” tickets. Is this correct? If so, what kinf of discount would he be eligible for? Thanks!!
Heather your dad has to be physically present at the turnstile at the first use to activate the tickets. He can then go away…but he has to be there then…
We are heading to Disney World in April of 2012, my dad is retired from the US Army and wants to purchase the daily passes to the theme parks for us. The only catch is, he doesn’t want to go with. Will we be able to get in with these tickets or will it be a problem? Thanks.
Hi Jerry, I only know about WDW and not the other theme parks. As far as I know, Disney military discounts are for US people only. Check their special offers page (from a computer in Canada…) and something may show there: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/
