Hi Susan,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your Walt Disney World vacation planning question! As a budget-conscious gal, I am always looking for the best way to save a few dollars and that means even with vacation planning. In my opinion, if I save money in one area like with my hotel or tickets, then I have more money to spend in another area like dining or shopping!
Susan, although
Walt Disney World Special Offers does have a current offer for
U.S. Military Specially Priced Theme Park Tickets and
U.S. Military Great Rates at Select Disney Resort Hotels, it does not appear that current Department of Defense members are eligible for this offer. A few years ago in 2018 there was an offer which did extend to Department of Defense civilians and contractors, but they are not included in the ongoing offer available right now. I understand that Shades of Green resort, which is located on Disney property, does allow Department of Defense civilians to stay at their hotel with proper identification so it might be worth it for you to call Shades of Green or your local public affairs office to see if your family is eligible.
The
Walt Disney World Special Offers page is updated frequently with many new offers so it's a good idea to check back regularly for anything that may apply to your vacation. Right now I see that you are a resident of a state that has an offer for up to 30% off select rooms for stays now through December 25, 2020.
Have a Magical vacation and please come back to visit us again with all your vacation planning questions ~ we love to help you plan your next Magical adventure!
