Hi Loren, welcome to planDisney!
Your summer visit to Walt Disney World Resort promises big thrills like the newly opened
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT and an even bigger variety of sips and eats thanks to the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival that opens on July 14.
As the wife of a police officer, I understand and appreciate the challenging work of first responders. Part of what my family loves so much about our Walt Disney World Resort vacations is that they allow us to unplug from reality together, creating shared memories with a magical backdrop. Daddy still works overtime, but at least Disney overtime involves fireworks and snacks. We love staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel because it gives us extra magic in the form of early theme park entry and complimentary transportation to and from the parks and Disney Springs.
Walt Disney World Resort currently has
special offers for U.S. Military Members, Disney+ Subscribers, and Annual Passholders booking a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Disney Springs area hotels are also offering a
variety of special rates for teachers, Florida/Georgia Residents, senior citizens, military families, and AAA members. When considering your lodging options on the
resorts page, it's helpful to know you can search by price range. The site also has a built-in price comparison tool, just look for "Compare Vacation Offers" before clicking the "Check Out" button.
For career-based discounts, it's also a good idea to check with your place of employment. The human resources department may know of additional discounts. My husband recently used a first responder discount to purchase Disney sunglasses for my birthday.
I hope you have a magical vacation, Loren. If you have any other trip-planning questions, planDisney is hEAR for you.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Jennifer
