DISNEY’S ARMED FORCES SALUTE EXPLAINED

With the announcement of the FY2013 Disney Armed Forces Salute, there’s lots of interest in and questions about the specifics of the new program.

The details of this program can be complex, as it marries rules and fine print from two of the world’s great bureaucracies with some extensive formal and informal personal discretion about the rules and fine print from Disney World cast members.

The upshot is a bunch of difficult-to-understand formal rules, and a bunch of not-obvious possible exceptions to them.

I try to help on this as much as I can, but the real expert–and someone I turn to almost weekly for help–is Steve from MilitaryDisneyTips.com.

Steve has a great FAQ on the Armed Forces Salute. The questions he addresses are below, and the links will take you directly to his material on the topic!

I’m trying to plan a trip to Disney World Oct 2013, if there is a military discout for that time frame, when will they release that info?

  Hi Phil, no way to say, as the release dates have varied from the spring before the current deal expires til right around (or after) when the deal expires…

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the recommendation! Your “world’s great bureaucracies” is spot on. I’ve worked for both and it’s so true.
