Hi Samantha!
I'm excited to hEAR that you're wanting to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth! Mine is a Military family too, and we are so thankful for the way that Disney says 'Thank You for your service!' by way of specially priced
Disney Theme Park Tickets and Disney Resort Hotel offers.
Currently, Military tickets are available for those who are Active Duty, Reservists, and Military Retirees. (Both 20+ years of service and 100 percent medically retired.) Discounted Military Tickets can be purchased in three locations: in-person at your base/post ITT/MWR/Ticket Office; in-person at any
Walt Disney World Resort Guest Relations location once you arrive; or from Shades of Green.
Shades of Green is a Military-owned Armed Forces Vacation Property located near Magic Kingdom Park. Tickets from Shades can be purchased in person or *in advance over the phone. (I purchased tickets over the phone about a month ago, and there is an eligibility verification sheet that will need to be submitted. The whole process takes about two weeks from first phone call until you get your tickets in the mail.)
The best way to find out about other discounts and offers would be to call Disney's Resort Reservation line at (407) 939-1936, or you can check out the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page. And don't forget to check with other memberships and affiliations you might have, like giant big-box warehouse club stores or travel clubs.
I hope this helped, Samantha, and We'll See You Real Soon!
