Hi Cierra, and welcome to planDisney! I first would like to say thank you for your family's service. Coming from a military family myself, we treasure our family time, especially when we visit Walt Disney World!
Did you know that Walt Disney World provides incredible military rates for the
Disney Resort Collection? My family enjoys staying at a Walt Disney World Resort each time because we love being close to the magic! From easy access to the theme parks with complimentary transportation to/from the resort, to participating in Early Theme Park Entry! You will have the ability to enter the theme parks 30 minutes before regular park guests, kickstarting your magical vacation! My family and I always love to start our trips with
Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, there's nothing like entering those gates before the crowds enter the park, and having time to soak in the magic! Plus, you can get some amazing family photos in front of
Cinderella Castle!
Another wonderful perk is if your family are not the early bird type, and you all are staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, you have the chance to utilize the Extended Evening Hours! On select nights at select theme parks, you and your family have the chance to enjoy the magic past park closing to regular guests! Combined with Early Theme Park Entry, that maximizes the magic! My family loves staying at
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort as a good example because it is a boat ride away to
Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, and the theming of the resort is beautiful, modeled after the beautiful National Park lodges of the American Northwest.
For additional questions about the military discount, I recommend speaking to a Cast Member who specializes in military families. You can reach them at (407) 939-5277. I hope that I have answered some of your questions! chEARS to you, and happy planning!
