    My husband is a veteran (not retired) and currently works for the DoD. Can we get a discount on the stay at a Disney resort that is not Shades of Green? We’re playing in staying at Art of Animation. Thank you.

    Hello there, and welcome to planDisney!

    Looks like you're planning a magical vacation at Walt Disney World this Fall. Woo hoo! I don't blame you one bit for wishing upon a star to stay at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. The theming and beloved characters found here are spectacular! This delightful resort also features two of my kids favorite pools in all of Disney World. The Big Blue Pool is amazing, with a fun splash pad for younger ones and the convenient poolside Drop Off Pool Bar. This refreshment stand also features a free refill station where you can fill your resort refillable mugs. It's the perfect way to stay hydrated during a pool day!

    I checked out the current Special Offers, Deals, & Discounts page and did find a current US Miliary Members Disney Resort Hotel discount offer for active or retired military personnel (see the page for more details and eligibility). If you were thinking of one of the awesome family suite's at Art of Animation, I see it's eligible for this offer! If you wanted just a standard sized Value Resort room, my next best recommendation from the eligible resort list would be to check out Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort... another of my family's favorite spots. 

    There are actually several great Special Offers right now, so I encourage you to check them all out and see what may work best for your group!

    Sending you a handful of pixie-dust to sprinkle on those exciting Disney World vacation plans of yours! Once you know your plans, please visit me again at planDisney if there are any tips, ideas, or questions I can help with. We love helping guests make fun memories! 

    The magic is calling,
