Hi Yvette!
Welcome to planDisney! My name is Kristen and I'm happy to be your planEAR today!
This is a great question, Yvette. I'm a Military spouse myself, and I'm very thankful for how much Walt loved our nation's heroes and how Disney's Parks still thank those who served by offering these fantastic ways to reunify and reconnect. I'm very happy to say that yes, there are still U.S. Military discounts for qualifying service members on both
theme park admission tickets as well as
Disneyland Resort Hotel rooms.
To qualify for either (or both!) the service member must be either Active Duty, a Reservist, Fully Retired after 20(+) yEARs of service, or rated with a 100% service-connected disability. Also note that this includes members of the Coast Guard, Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
To take advantage of a special
Military Rate for a Disneyland Resort Hotel, you'll need to call to inquire about the availability and the prices. (I've found that these helpful Cast Members don't mind checking all three hotels as long as you have dates in mind.) Their phone number is (714) 956-6425.
The
Disneyland Military Promotional Park Hopper Tickets, aka Disney Salute Tickets, are currently only available for purchase at U.S. Military Bases and Posts. If you currently don't reside near a base/post, I've hEARd that Camp Pendleton is selling these tickets over the phone and mailing them out. To find their contact info as well as price sheet, Google 'Camp Pendleton Latitudes ITT'. Once on their homepage, their PDF downloadable ticket price sheet is about halfway down the page on the right side of the screen. My favorite thing about these tickets is that they don't expire until December, so you can buy the 4-day tickets and essentially get two vacations out of one pass!
Be sure that you purchase your tickets ASAP as each park guest will need to make
Park Pass Reservations for their desired Disney Days. Park Pass Reservations tell Mickey which theme park you'd like to play in on which day. While these reservations open for booking 120 days in advance, lately they've been booking up solid about 3 weeks out;
hEARs the Park Pass Reservation Calendar. Sometimes more availability does open up, but it's not a guarantee.
I hope that this helped to clEAR up your question, Yvette! Be sure to check out the
