Today, I’m sharing travel tips on Disney World Military Discount Tickets. It’s a great way to save on park tickets. The armed forces have partnered with Disney and are now offering Walt Disney World Resort Promotional Theme Park Tickets. However, the discount is also available at Disneyland.
Armed Forces Salute is the original discount promotion. The Walt Disney World Resort Promotional Theme Park promotion works the same way. The promotion is a discount available to military members and retirees. You will be happy to know that the Disney World Resort Promotion will be available January 1, 2020 through December 18, 2020. Discount tickets can be used throughout the year. For example, you can use the tickets 2 days for spring break and 2 days for summer vacation. The last day for the 2019 promotion is December 19, 2019.
Disney World Military Discount Members Must Be:
- Current/Retired military members:
Active
Reserve
National Guard
Coast Guard
Commissioned Corps - 100%Service Disabled
- Spouses may use their enlisted or retired member’s benefit. They are not entitled to the discount on their own.
- Widows are entitled to their spouse’s discount if they haven’t remarried.
- Foreign Partners stationed at a United States Base are also eligible. However, they must have a permanent US Military issued ID.
The discount includes:
- 4-Day Military Promotional Ticket with the Park Hopper Option for $241 plus tax
- 5-Day Military Promotional Ticket with the Park Hopper Option $257 plus tax
- 4-Day Military Promotional Ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option $291 plus tax
- 5-Day Military Promotional Ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option $307 plus
Also, you can also purchase the Disney World Memory Maker for an additional $98.00. This is half of the original $199.99 Memory Maker price. NOTE: These prices may change for 2020. Additionally, the military member may purchase up to 6 tickets not including themselves.
We take advantage of the Disney World Military Discount when we travel to Disney World in December. This works great for my family. We divide our time between ESPN Disney World Super Bowl, where my grandson plays, and the Disney World parks. Also, we don’t stay on the property in December. I owe a Time Share about 10 minutes away. So, we rent a car and head to the timeshare. It has a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and 2 bedrooms with a king size bed, 2 queen beds in the second bedroom, and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Since we’re splitting our time between 2 destinations, it’s cheaper for us to stay at the timeshare than on Disney properties.
We purchase the 4 day ticket with the park hopper. However, we didn’t park hop not one day. We just wanted to head home, get a good night’s sleep, and head to another park the next day.
Military Discount Tickets can be purchased at Shades of Green, your local military base, or at the ticket booths at Disney World. We purchased our tickets at the Disney World ticket booth. Otherwise, tickets have to be activated before you can enter the park. The enlisted or retired member must be present with a military ID to activate the tickets. Unfortunately, they can’t activate by using the My Disney app either. So, plan accordingly.
