Hi Reginald! I’m so happy to welcome you to planDisney! Let me start by saying thank you for your family’s service. Mickey is always honored to welcome military families to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
With
military theme park ticket offers, you are eligible for the Disney Dining Plan if you are staying at Disney resort hotel. Since you are interested in a dining plan, I would encourage you to
call and speak with a Cast Member about
military discounts on resort hotel rooms. There may be an option that works for you! There is a
special offer for free dining for kids in 2026, so if you have any children ages 3 to 9 traveling with you, that could add up to big savings. There are also additional perks to staying at a Disney resort hotel like Early Theme Park Entry, parking, and an early opportunity to reserve Lightning Lane passes.
Parking at each of the Walt Disney World theme parks is complimentary for Disney resort hotel guests and select Annual Passholders. Since you will be staying at another property and will not have an Annual Pass, you will need to pay for parking. The current rate is $35 per day (subject to change) and is valid at all four theme parks, even if you choose to move your vehicle between parks during the day.
Reginald, your family must be getting very excited that you have a magical visit ahead in just a couple of weeks! If you have any more questions in the meantime, please
stop back by and see me. I’m here to help add extra pixie dust to your Disney vacation planning!
See you on Main Street,
Casey
