Walt Disney was always a very patriotic man who felt strongly about his country. Both Walt and his brother Roy O., served their country during World War II. Though both have been gone for many years, The Walt Disney Company continues to be a strong supporter of members of the miliatary and their families. Some of the ways this is done is through the offering discounts on Disney theme park tickets, hotel rooms, cruises and more. Below is a look at the different ways that The Walt Disney Company does these things.
Active or retired members of the U.S. Military, or their spouses (with valid and active U.S. military IDs), can take advantage of specially priced tickets in domestic Disney Parks and Resorts and also on the Disney Cruise Line.
Specially Priced Disney Theme Park Tickets in 2023
Available for select travel dates in 2023, Military Salute Tickets for Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort are available at participating U.S. military base ticket offices. Tickets for Walt Disney World Resort are also available in person or via email from Shades of Green, an Armed Forces Recreation Center Resort located right in the heart of Walt Disney World Resort. For more details, visit https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/military-multi-day-tickets-2023/ and https://disneyland.disney.go.com/offers-discounts/military-tickets-discount-2023/.
Military families may also add Memory Maker at Walt Disney World Resort to capture the memories of their visit for a special price through Dec. 15, 2023.
Great Rates at Select Disney Resort Hotels in 2023
But the magic doesn’t stop there. We’ve made it even easier for military families to enjoy their well-deserved vacations. In addition to discounted tickets, Disney also offers discounted resort stays for select nights in 2023 on select rooms at Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Resort in California and even Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii (subject to availability).
