Welcome to planDisney, Dustin!
As a wife of a veteran who served in Afghanistan, thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Fast forward, and now my family loves spending our days exploring all of the magic and wonder that Walt Disney World Resort has to offer. I am more than happy to help answer your question, Dustin.
At the moment, the specially discounted tickets (the
Disney Military Salute Tickets) advertised on the Walt Disney World Resort website are only available to eligible service members who are active duty, reservists, retired, or 100% disabled. However, not all hope is lost. I did a bit of research, and I do have some good news for you!
In the months of January and September, with DD214 discharge papers, you will be able to purchase discounted
theme park tickets at Shades of Green, which is an Armed Forces Recreation Center on Walt Disney World Resort property. I highly recommend that you reach out to Shades of Green to receive more information from them about how to obtain these discounted and tax-free tickets.
I hope that this helps you as you plan your vacation, Dustin. If you need any suggestions about how your family can have the coolest experiences at the Most Magical Place on Earth, feel free to revisit us here at planDisney.
I’m all ears! Magic always,
LeAndra
