Hey there, Catherine! Welcome to planDisney, we are so excited you are here and want to begin that magical adventure of planning a vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. I will warn you, you may have the "best vacation ever!" and want to revisit over and over again (just like all of us on the panel!)
As a military spouse myself, we love utilizing the wonderful military rates Walt Disney World provides for our community. We try to visit as often as we can! Booking a trip with the
military rate is easier than Fairy Godmother chanting "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!". Once you have decided on the Disney resort you want to stay at, call a Cast Member over at the
Disney Hotel Reservations Desk at (407) 939-1936, and mention that you want to use the military discount. You can purchase your
tickets at the nearest military installation to you in Texas, or through Shades of Green. You will receive paper stubs that say "exchange certificates" and keep them with you, you will need to activate them at Guest Relations at one of the four theme parks, along with your military I.D. Once this has been done, you do not need them any longer. Don't forget to ask about the military discount for Memory Maker, a Disney PhotoPass product!
I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World, Catherine!
