    If someone in your party is in the military and is sponsoring you, how soon can you apply a military discount to your hotel reservation?

    Greetings, Makayla!

    Welcome to planDisney and thank that special member of your party for me! We are a military family and love the chance to extend our offer to those traveling with us. Usually, grandma and grandpa join us when we book using the military offers. 

    Now, to take advantage of the military discounts on resorts, the eligible service member will need to call Walt Disney World Resort. A Cast Member on the other line will help search for Disney Resorts with availability. Then, when you and your party arrive, the military service member will present their military ID at the resort's Front Desk during check-in. After that, you are all free to go out and enjoy your day!

    If you're also taking advantage of the military promotional ticket offer, you’ll all need to be together to activate those tickets before your first park entry as well. My family and I like to visit the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs the night before our first park day to activate our tickets. Disney Springs doubles as the perfect dinner location before our first big day, too. Plus, you have to visit World of Disney before heading back to your resort! It’s the home for all things Disney and the reason I end up with an overstuffed suitcase on the way back home.

    Makayla, I hope this helps answer your question. If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to ask. Have a great visit, and if there’s anything else we can help with, we’re all ears!

    Thanks again,

    Shantel

Hi ya Pals! I'm Shantel, an Army wife and mom of two. I grew up going to the parks, and now we're sharing that tradition with our kids. When I am not visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, I'm at home researching and planning for our next trip. One of my favorite things to do is search for new snacks to try, especially if they are Mickey shaped. I'm definitely living the dream my heart wished for! I cannot wait to answer your questions and help make your vacation even more magical!
