Hi Julie, welcome to planDisney!
Virginia is for Disney lovers, and I love that you're planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort during the magical
holiday season. Hear the story of Christmas like you've never heard it before during the
Candlelight Processional at the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
Thank you for the military service of you or a loved one that inspired your question about military discounts at Walt Disney World Resort. My military-connected family frequently takes advantage of
various military discounts on our Disney vacations. There is not currently a military discount on
Disney Genie+ service so my best money-saving tip is to prioritize Disney Genie+ service at the theme parks with the most
Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions: Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios. To maximize the magic of Genie+, purchase by 6:45 a.m. and book your first Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction at 7:00 a.m. You can book your next Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction as soon as you have tapped in for your first attraction, or at the time listed on the Tip Board banner of your
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the app's homepage > Tip Board). Continue booking throughout the day as soon as you are able.
If preserving memories from your vacation is a priority, Julie, Eligible Service Members or their spouse can purchase
Memory Maker for a discounted price by visiting Guest Relations or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. Memory Maker is my favorite Disney souvenir because it includes unlimited downloads of all Disney PhotoPass media taken during your trip. Your holiday card will basically write itself!
As your Disney vacation countdown continues, you can count on planDisney for answers to your trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
