For the twelfth year in a row Disney has generously made a special offer to the U.S. Military Community, the Disney Armed Forces Salute.
The Disney Armed Forces Salute offers significant discounts on both Disney theme park tickets and Disney Resort Hotels.
I think the Disney Theme Parks are the ideal places for military families to let go and forget, at least for a short while, their stressful lives filled with deployments, PCS moves, and many other things that only military families have to deal with.
Disney is very good at creating a totally immersive experience, so that all you think about while you’re there is having fun!
These discounts are available to currently serving and retired members of the U.S. Military (Active, Guard, Reserve, and NOAA and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps) and their spouses.
Imagine buying tickets for your Disney vacation at almost 50% off!
That’s right 37% to 46% off Walt Disney World tickets and 44% to 47% off of Disneyland Resort tickets for adults. Kids (3 – 9 yrs.) save slightly less as their regular tickets are a little cheaper to begin with.
Disney offers four-day to six-day Salute tickets at Disney World and three-day and four-day tickets at Disneyland.
That’s plenty of time for you to check out their brand-new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, all the other attractions, and see the parades and fireworks!
These are the best ticket prices available anywhere!
Stay in the Magic for up to 30% to 40% Off!
Disney also offers these great discounts on their resort hotels. You can stay on Disney property with all the special benefits that come along with that, such as early entry into designates parks. You can accomplish a lot on these days before those not staying with Disney are allowed in.
Walt Disney World offers value resorts at up to 30% off, moderate resorts at up to 35% off, and deluxe resorts at up to 40% off. At the Disneyland Resort stay at Paradise pier at up to 30% off, the Disneyland Hotel at up to 35% off, and the Grand Californian at up to 40% off.
You won’t miss a minute of magic on your vacation! Disney’s resorts are themed perfectly to go with both the overall theme of the resort and Disney.
