    My husband is retired DOD civilian employee/ he is now a DOD civilian contractor is he still eligible for DOD discount tickets?

    Hiya Andrea,

    Welcome to planDisney! As a child of two veterans, I am always so beyond grateful for the specially priced military tickets. They are the reason I ever got to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth, and those early childhood visits have led me to years of magical memories.

    As a DoD Civilian Contractor, Andrea, your husband is able to purchase Walt Disney World Resort theme park tickets at a discounted price, but he is not eligible for any promotional tickets (such as the new Disney Celebrates America theme park tickets or the Military Salute tickets). The non-promotional tickets he is eligible for can be used for 1- to 10-day tickets and purchased through Shades of Green or your local ITT office.

    I hope this was helpful, Andrea. Before I let you go, you can also purchase these tickets directly at Walt Disney World Resort ticket counters, but I highly recommend purchasing them through Shades of Green or on a military installation. Tickets from Shades of Green, for example, are tax-free, so that will also increase your discount. I truly hope you have the most magical vacation. If there is anything else my fellow panelists can do to help you with planning that, please come back and see us.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.

Hey Y'all! I’m Ashley and I live in Florida. My family and I love trying out the yummy snacks (DOLE Whip anyone!) and taking full advantage of our resort days. When we are not piloting the Millennium Falcon, exploring Kilimanjaro Safaris, or watching fireworks, you can find me planning our next adventure to Walt Disney World! I am so excited that you are planning a trip, and I look forward to helping you dig a little deeper and find the magic in all of the wonders of Walt Disney World Resort. Learn More About Ashley
