Hi there, Jayson, and welcome to planDisney!
From one military family to another, thank you for your service. It is my pleasure to share what I know about how you can get military discounts to revisit your Happy Place.
If you are an eligible service member who is active duty, a reservist, retired through the military, or have a 100% disability rating, you have access to a couple military discounted ticket options. The first is called the
Disney Military Salute Ticket. This ticket is perfect for multi-day visits and can be used throughout its validation period. The Disney Military Salute Ticket is great for spreading out your visits throughout the year. The second option is the Magic Your Way Ticket, which has both single- and multi-day ticket options. However, with the multi-day options, you have up to 14 days to use the days before they expire.
You can add a
Park Hopper Option and even water park visits (Park Hopper Plus) to both ticket types. You can purchase these special tickets at your closest U.S. military base's ticket office or on Walt Disney World property at
Shades of Green, an Armed Forces Recreation Center.
AN EXTRA GEM: I see that you plan on visiting on New Year’s Eve. Both of these ticket types are blocked out on that date. But the great news is that you’re good to go starting as early as January 1, 2025.
Admittedly, I am unsure if there are any discounts for former Cast Members. It wouldn’t hurt to call the
“New Tickets” phone number on this website for more assistance. You’re in for quite the magical adventure, Jayson. If you have any other questions about your upcoming visit,
give us a holler here at planDisney. See you real soon!
Magic always,
LeAndra
