Hi Makaila, and welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your question. There are so many great opportunities for military families to enjoy discounts at Walt Disney World Resort during 2026, so let's hop right in!
The
Military Salute discounts are an incredible benefit for U.S. military personnel and their families, and I am happy to share that you do have the option to purchase a room and dining package, even though you plan to purchase park tickets at your local military base. You can book a ticketless reservation by
calling and speaking with a Cast Member. Be sure to ask about
Military Salute room discounts when calling. These offer big savings, based upon availability, and can be combined with a dining package. I am actually checking in soon on exactly this type of reservation!
When you visit the ticket office at your local military base, you will have the option to choose 4-Day, 5-Day, or 6-Day Military Salute tickets, with either the Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus option. I am so excited that in 2026, eligible service members or their spouses can also purchase the
Disney Celebrates America Salute Ticket! This is a great option if you want to enjoy more days in the parks or plan to visit more than once throughout the year. This special offer gives you access to all four Walt Disney World theme parks from January 1 through December 18, 2026, with the exception of blackout periods from March 29 through April 11, 2026 and November 22 through November 28, 2026. It is important to note that
theme park reservations are required for all Military Salute ticket types.
In addition to room and ticket discounts, did you know there is also a military discount available for
Memory Maker? At a special discounted rate, you can download all of the photos and videos from attractions and those taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers during your vacation. Just visit a ticket window at any point during your vacation, if you'd like to purchase Memory Maker at this special rate.
Makaila, I hope you have so much fun planning your magical vacation! Be sure to come back to planDisney and let us know if you have any more questions, so we can help make your vacation "practically perfect in every way." Thank you for your family's service!
