Hi Krystan, and welcome to planDisney! We’re so happy you stopped by with this question. First, thank you for your family’s service! It is always my pleasure to help military families plan magical getaways to Walt Disney World Resort.
The
Disney Military Salute tickets are such incredible offers! I have been fortunate to spend many pixie-dusted days in the theme parks thanks to this program. I was also absolutely thrilled this year to see the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute offer. I’ve found myself strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. in 2026 more than ever before!
The great news is that, even when using the military ticket offers, you can still purchase a
Disney Dining Plan! You will just need to
call to speak with a friendly Cast Member who can assist you with purchasing your dining plan. They will add it to your room-only reservation at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel. If you have any children on your room reservation who are between the ages of 3 to 9, they will also receive
a free dining plan in 2026 when everyone ages 10 and older on the reservation purchases a dining plan!
Did you know that there are also
military discounts available on resort hotel rooms (subject to availability)? When you call to add your dining plan, be sure to check with the Cast Member to see if the room discount offers can save you even more during the dates of your stay. I also always take advantage of the special military rate on
Memory Maker, which is nearly half off the standard price (subject to change). You can purchase Memory Maker at this military rate by visiting a Walt Disney World ticket window during your vacation.
With all of these savings, you’ll have extra room in the budget for Mickey Ice Cream Bars and bringing home souvenirs! Or maybe you can reserve a special experience in the
Enchanting Extras Collection to add even more pixie dust to your vacation!
Krystan, I’m sending you wishes for the magical getaway of your dreams! If you have any more questions as you continue planning, be sure to
come back and see me. I’m always here to help you plan a vacation that is
practically perfect in every way!With a salute from our pal Mickey,
Casey
