    Hi, I am planning to book the AOA resorts using Disney Perks promo. I am wondering if it's okay to buy the tickets using the salute tickets through the military base? and how to add the dining plan if I use this plan?

    Hi Atika, and welcome to planDisney! This summer is going to be an amazing time to visit Walt Disney World Resort, with Cool KIDS’ SUMMER and the debut of several newly reimagined attractions. With so many special offers available, it’s also an incredible time for great deals and extra savings! 

    It sounds like the offer you are thinking about is the Disney+ Perks Members Special Summer Room Offer. This is such a great deal for Disney+ subscribers enrolled in Disney+ Perks. At Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the offer includes Cars Family Suites starting at just $249 per night (subject to change). This is valid for most dates between June 21 and August 15, 2026 and requires a 2-night minimum stay. The special offer does not require a package with theme park tickets, so you can book this room rate and still purchase Disney Military Salute Tickets at your local base. That combination of savings is incredible!

    You will also be able to add the Disney Dining Plan! You should be able to do this online when booking your room reservation, but you can also call to speak directly with a friendly Cast Member who can assist you. Here’s a little extra pixie dust…if you have any kids ages 3 to 9 in your party, they will receive a dining plan totally free when everyone ages 10 and over on your room reservation purchases a dining plan!

    Atika, I hope you are getting excited for a magical getaway, especially with these extraordinary opportunities to save! With all those extra savings, that means more room in the budget for Minnie ears and Mickey ice cream bars! If you have any more questions as you plan your visit, stop back by and see me. I’m here to help and love adding extra magic to your Disney vacation planning!

    Your pal,
    Casey
