DISNEY MILITARY DISCOUNT 2012
The military discount for Disney World in 2012 is up and detailed on Disney’s special offers page.
The Disney Military Discount for 2012 is in effect an extension and doubling of Disney’s military discount for 2011.
Eligible personnel may buy and activate a total of twelve 4-day tickets for $138 each over the period from the beginning of the 2011 program to the end of the 2012 program.
The 2012 program ends September 30, 2012.  There’s a different program that begins October 1 2012 and extends into September 2013.  Click here for more on the FY13 military salute.
ONE MILITARY DISCOUNT PROGRAM FOR 2011 AND 2012
There is in effect just one military discount program that covers the period ending September 30 2012.
So families that already bought some military discount Disney World tickets in 2011 can now buy more, up to a total of 12 including those already bought; families that have not yet bought any can buy, activate and use up to twelve between now and September 30, 2012.
However, only 6 tickets can be activated or used in any 7 day period.
The price is a savings of ~$100 per ticket compared to Disney’s normal 4-day ticket prices.
Those eligible to purchase these Disney Military Salute tickets include active and (career) retired members of the US Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, and the Coast Guard, and their spouses.
My friend Steve of MilitaryDisneyTips.com notes that permanently disabled veterans with military ID with a DAVPRM status are also eligible for this offer.
Valid military ID is required at the parks themselves to activate the tickets.

Hi Frederick, and thanks for the kind words!
I’m not sure–I think it’s through SSN, with the address option just being a less-privacy-sensitive way to replace lost stuff. I’m gonna see if I can get an expert to weigh in tho…
Dave,
Just activated mine yesterday – my question is how do they track or make the connection to the service member/sponsor; via address or SSN? I didn’t ask unfortunately, but it seemed to me they just wanted my address – they said that if any one of the tickets gets lost that the family/friend just needs to provide the address of the sponsor. Appreciate you providing the information here – helps a lot of people with taking advantage of a great program.
Hi Amy, if you have a military ID card with “DAVPROM” on it, you are eligible. To get the tix, you have to go to a base–“participating military sales outlet” as Disney puts it on the red tape on their page on this offer here: http://bookwdw.reservations.disney.go.com/ibcwdw/en_US/specialOfferDetails?name=Promo&promotionCode=fy11military&market=fy11military
Dave, I sure hope you can clear this up for me….I am a disabled veteran collecting 40%disability from the VA. DO I qualify for the military discount? If so, what forms, veteran paperwork do I need to bring with me to Disney next week on the 29th of February?
Yup–you can apply what you arleady spent to the cost of an upgrade!
