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! My son just left for Disney World (driving) from Texas making a few stops along the way and is staying at Animal Kingdom on a military rate. I was doing some reading and just noticed that he is honorably discharged but not medically. He has his DD-214 with him as they requested documentation stating that he was a veteran. What is going to happen when he arrives at the hotel to check in?
Steve, thanks a million!!
Hey Dave, Base ticket offices receive 2 different types of tickets from Disney, based on what Disney happens to send.
The first type are “ready for use” and can be taken directly to a theme park turnstile and used. But the other type needs to be exchanged at a disney ticket window and a military ID will be required for the exchange. I’m not sure if a dependent ID will work for this.
So, the above poster needs to also determine if they are not AFS tickets, if they are ready for use or not.
Hi, it depends what tickets they have. If they have “Armed Force Salute” tix, then he needs to be there in person to activate them on their first day of use. If they are simply “regularly discounted” tix, then both you and they should be fine…
Dave,
My ex (active military) gave my kids the Disney military tickets to use in June. He will not be there with us. All three of my kids have a military issued ID card. Can they get in on these tickets with their ID cards? What about me, can I get in with their military ID since it says “friends and family?’
