Disney Discounts for Military Members and Families

Your Guide to Special Disney Benefits and Savings for Military Families

Disney World is renowned for creating magical vacations and unforgettable memories, especially for those who serve. If you’re a military member or part of a military family, you may be eligible for exclusive Disney discounts and special offers. This guide highlights how Disney supports military families, from discounted park tickets to unique resort benefits.

Who Qualifies for Disney Military Discounts?

Disney offers generous savings to active and retired members of the U.S. military, including the Coast Guard, Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Guard Reserves. Eligibility generally requires a valid military identification for purchasing and redeeming Disney offers.

Discounted Theme Park Tickets

One of the most popular military perks is the Disney Military Promotional Ticket. This special ticket, often known as the “Armed Forces Salute,” allows eligible members to purchase multi-day park tickets at a significant discount for up to four or five days at Walt Disney World. You can review the latest ticket prices and availability on the official Disney Military Discounts page.

For those visiting Disneyland or planning a Disney Cruise, check the individual ticket office or authorized military ticket sales locations for local offers. Be sure to bring your valid military ID when purchasing.

Military Salute Passes and the Shades of Green Hotel

Military families traveling to Walt Disney World have access to the Shades of Green Hotel, an affordable resort exclusively for U.S. military and their families. The Shades of Green resort is located on Disney property and offers hotel stays at reduced rates, even during peak vacation periods. Guests can enjoy amenities such as Park Hopper Plus tickets and access to many Disney Resort features. For best results, make reservations early, as availability may be limited during holidays and high-demand seasons.

Additional Discounts and Dining Plans

Besides hotel and ticket discounts, military guests may also receive a discount at select Disney restaurants and merchandise shops. Dining plans and suites at Shades of Green can be included in your package, but availability is limited, so early planning is recommended.
