Hi there, Mark!
From one military family to another, welcome to planDisney. Whether you want to tap into the magic of Disney World to spend quality time with your crew or to experience the thrills (
TRON Lightcycle / Run is a must!), let's talk about the military member deals that are available to you.
The biggest discounts as an eligible military member (like a 100% service-connected disabled veteran) are for multi-day tickets. These 4-,5-, and 6-day theme park options are the
Disney Military Salute tickets. You can purchase them tax-free at a participating military base ticket office near you or reach out to Shades of Green Resort located onsite at Disney World. Keep in mind that if you wait to purchase your ticket at the theme park ticketing window, tax will be applied. The ticket costs range from $409 to $479 (at the time of publication).
Another option is the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket that acts as a "pass" for you to use throughout the year. There are a few more blockout dates this year in November, but otherwise, you can visit as many times as you'd like until it expires in mid-December 2026.
No matter the ticket option that you choose,
make a theme park reservation for the date(s) and theme park(s) you'd like to explore. This ensures that your visit gives you access to your desired parks--they can totally reach capacity. Make sure that you, as the eligible military service member, are present with a valid military ID on your first day of use.
As for single-day tickets, you'll want to visit the
Shades of Green website or visit your local military base's ticketing office to see if they have any choices. However, usually these discounts aren't nearly as reduced as the multi-day tickets. You may even find that non-military
Special Offers, Deals, & Discounts could work better for the number of visits that you'd prefer.
Mark, I've got a feeling that you have some fun times ahead this month. Please
revisit us here at planDisney if you have any additional vacation planning questions. See you real soon!
Magic always,
LeAndra
