    Looking for affordable places to stay n military discount

    Welcome to planDisney, Barbara!

    It’s so nice to hear from you. "Hooray, you’re going to Walt Disney World!". It seems like you will be visiting during my favorite time of the year, the spring. Plus EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be going on at the same time of your visit. It truly is the most beautiful festival where everything comes into bloom. Not to mention the delicious Garden Graze! You can fill up your passport by purchasing and trying different plant-based dishes during the festival. Once your passport is complete, you can turn it in for a specially flavored DOLE Whip. Trust me, it’s deliciously worth it.

    When it comes to available military discounts on resorts, you’ll need to give the Walt Disney World Resort a call. A Cast Member will be able to search to see if there are any options available during your visit. As a reminder, the eligible service member or their spouse will need to provide their military ID at check-in. Eligible service members may also purchase Military Salute theme park tickets. Be sure to check the fine details because there are a few blockout dates that come with this offer in April and I do see that is when you are planning on visiting the parks. You’ll also need a theme park reservation for these tickets. So please keep that in mind too when purchasing this offer.

    If the Military Salute option doesn't align with the dates you are planning on visiting, I recommend also taking a look at the Special Offers, Deals & Discounts offered through the Walt Disney World website. Sometimes you’ll be able to find an option that works better for your travel dates there as well. Honestly, there are so many options when planning for a visit, you are bound to find something that intrests your party and works with your budget. My family rather spend our time in the theme park so we tend to learn towards the value resorts as their cost works better for our budget. Plus, they all offer incredible themeing which has you living in the magic of Disney the entire time you're there! So I recommend checking those options out as well.

    Barbara, I hope you can take advantage of these great savings. If there's anything else we can help with, you know where to find us. Thanks again for stopping by and thank you for your service from my military family to yours!

    See ya real soon,
