Hi Robin, and welcome back to planDisney!
The military rates for Disney Resort hotels are available only to Disney Military Salute ticket holders. Salute ticket holders include servicemembers on active duty, retired from service, or 100% disabled through the DoD. As a DoD Civilian, you can purchase
Magic Your Way tickets from the ITT/MWR office on the base where you work, or through
Shades of Green Resort. Magic Your Way tickets are slightly discounted tickets and can be purchased as a base ticket, with Park Hopper, or Park Hopper Plus. Once you upload them to your My Disney Experience mobile app, make
Theme Park Reservations.
Dining plans are also not given a military discount, but you are free to add it if you choose!
Speaking of dining, the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is now in full swing, and with that, comes lots of dining "around the world!". The
2024 Foodie Guide by Disney Eats details the delicious menu options you'll find at this year's Global Marketplaces, including the Braised Beef and Belgian Waffle options from the Belgian Global Marketplace (which are my #1's!). For guaranteed seating during the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series, consider purchasing a
dining package and enjoy jamming along to Boyz II Men or Sugar Vibe during your visit, and for the cheese lovers in your group, participate in
Emile's Fromage Montage.
Robin, I hope all of this was helpful! Thank you for visiting planDisney again! If you need additional pixie dust to plan your visit,
send me your questions any time. From one Texan to another, you've got a friend in me!
Choose Magic!
Frances
