Hi Gene! Welcome to planDisney.
I have a smile on my face thinking about your family's Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I have visited a few times with my parents, brothers, and all our children, and we have made the best memories together. As a military spouse, I know just how important family time is, and it's my pleasure to help answer your question today and get all of you one step closer to the magic.
It looks like you're planning a Spring 2022 visit to Walt Disney World. At this time, the 2022 military discounts have not been released; when they are, they'll appear on the
Special Offers webpage. While military discounts on resort hotel rooms are never guaranteed for the following years, there has been a
promotion for select Disney Resorts Collection hotel rooms in previous years. If it works like in past years, you will need to call (407) 939-7830 once the offer is released to find out which
hotels are available under the offer on your dates and the pricing. Also, note that eligibility is usually for active, reserve, and retired U.S. service members. We've had some great discounts under the rate, and I'm sending pixie-dusted wishes that you find the same!
Gene, because you say "military hotel costs," I want to make sure you don't mean
Shades of Green, which is the resort hotel for military members located on Walt Disney World Resort property. For availability, pricing, and eligibility at that resort hotel, take a look at their website. I believe they are booking into 2022 at this time.
We're also waiting on 2022's
Military Promotional Theme Park Ticket offer. When those tickets are released, they will be available to purchase at military ticket offices. Please note that historically, a military family has been restricted to no more than 6 of those tickets per year - but we're still waiting to hear the pricing, eligibility, and terms and conditions of this offer for 2022. That offer will appear on the Special Offers webpage when it's released, and I'm hoping it will be in late September as it's been in future years.
I hope this helps as you get started planning for your 2022 family visit, Gene! As you think about accommodations for your visit, I recommend looking at
Deluxe Villa accommodations. When we have visited with my parents in the past, we've loved staying in these rooms because 1-bedroom and larger rooms have kitchens, allowing us to share family time cooking and dining together. They have in-room washers and dryers too, which is great for a big family trip.
If you have any further questions as you make your plans, please come back and see us! Have a wonderful time on your Grand adventure with your family.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
