To salute military personnel and their families, Disney has recently announced the renewal of their popular military discounts for 2022.
Disney’s Armed Forces Salute allows members of the U.S. military to purchase steeply discounted theme park tickets. Military personnel can also get large discounts on stays at select Disney Resort hotels.
The Salute is a special temporary offer which has been renewed on a year by year basis since January 2009.
These tickets are completely separate from the regular military discounted tickets available at local military bases.
For the renewed Walt Disney World offer, purchase through December 16, 2022 and choose between 4-day or 5-day theme park tickets, with the Park Hopper option and the Park Hopper Plus option at the Orlando, Florida park. Those tickets must be used from January 1, 2022 through December 16, 2022.
For the offer at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, choose between a 3-day and 4-day Park Hopper Ticket when you purchase through December 12, 2022 and use by December 16, 2022.

Along with being able to receive discounted park tickets, Disney Resort hotels are also offering military personnel large discounts on lodging. Since the number of rooms are limited for the discount, you will need to make advanced reservations. Select room discounts are up to 30-40% off the normal rates
If you are considering taking advantage of Disney’s Armed Forces Salute discount, please keep in mind it is only available to:
- Active-duty military members
- Retired military members
- Reservists
- National Guard members
- U.S. Space Force
- U.S. Coast Guard
- Commissioned Corp of the Public Health Service
- NOAA
Military spouses can qualify as well, but they must have an active military ID with them to show Disney in the absence of the military member. While spouses may use their member’s benefit, they are not entitled to a benefit of their own. They only use the discounts in place of the member.
Veterans are important and matter! We just want to come to Epcot but can’t afford it.
All of us Veterans, stand with you, Gina! <3

I totally agree, US NAVY Ret. LICS 1977-1999, Where are our Disabled Vets. Our Disabled Vets deserve discounts as well. I am speaking as one myself. Our spouses sacrificed just as much along with our children.
Did they include our Families that had members that made the ultimate sacrifice, we All gave some but there are many many others that gave their All. God Bless them ALL. Our Veterans deserve so much more.
I am also a disabled vet who cannot afford to go to Disney. I went there once when I was a kid. I loved it,but now it’s just too expensive. Living on small fixed income and can’t visit Mickey.😢😢😢
I would like to get a package for myself wife and daughter and her husband and two grandkids both 4 and 5 years old at the Epcot disneyyfrlieida with resort stay for 4 nights 5 day stay can I get a price for this
Disabled Veterans are not included in this? They deserve it too. They didn’t get hurt from just standing around doing nothing while serving in the military and protecting our country.
i agree let’s get with the picture Half of our military gave part of there lives to protect this country so help the disabled vets Too
My husband just passed away from complications caused from Agent Orange in Vietnam. He was 100% disabled. We never got any kind of discounts, would have really helped since he had to also rent a wheel chair, etc when we were in Orlando.
This is great but what about those of us that served and left with honorable discharge
I agree all. Military personnel serving now and veterans that have already served should be included.
I agree with you James Perry. My husband served in the Air Force for 28 yrs. and only got his retirement check. This should be all military rather active or retired.
I am classified 100% disabled thru the VA with a Purple Heart. I also have a Department Of Defence/
Ununiformed Service Card that allows me to get on any base for commissary use.. l don’t know where you draw your line but would like to be included. That way when relatives come down to visit Disney and want me to go with them I hate telling them no. I am 80 years old and living on a fixed income which keep me limited on spending money for entertainment.
100% DAV are included. See the Disney website.
Active-duty military members
Retired military members
Reservists
National Guard members
Looks like we disabled Veterans don’t count. Well Disney, since we disabled veterans mean nothing to you after shedding blood on foreign soil for your sorry asses, you don’t mean anything to me. I’ve made two trips to disney in Florida and will never make another since you don’t care about us disabled ‘veterans.
Agree
Agree
Jim: contact Disney direct, I’m a disabled Veteran and showed my VA ID and got discounted plus they gave me a pass to skip the lines with. This was 5 years ago maybe they changed their policy but back then they took care of me and my Family.
Why should we have to write a special letter? We should automatically get the same treatment as everyone else
Thank You Michael,
Never been there, never going to visit either‼️
Totally agree !!!
c’mon Di$ney … rethink your considerations! >.<
It doesn’t say what the discount is?
I am a vet but disabled on ssa only have a medical card from the va does that count and what will it cost me to get into disney world.
Sorry to say, but they have raised the prices. So your SSI and your disable check will do for a hopper and a couple of days in the “Happiest Place in the World”.
I’m confused if you include disabled Vets and honorable discharge Vets. We served too. You guys are financially sound. I know if Walter was still alive he would offer us free entrance.
Are Widows of 100precent Disable Veterans who retired from the Army and died from their Service Connected Disable able to use this discount. They died from injuries from the War in Vietnam. Agent Orange. A terrible death. I I’ve been to Disney World before twice.would love to go again. I’m 80 years young.
Military spouses can qualify as well, but they must have an active military ID with them to show Disney in the absence of the military member.

I AM WONDERING THE SAME THING
we have been ignored by their greed
Shows you places like Home Depot who give 10% off to all vets is more considerate about there vets then money like Disney.Rethink your policy Disney if not for the vets you wouldn’t have a Disney or the country to build it in!
How much are epoch tickets for Military for one day. I am Navy retired and partially disabled vet
You don’t count VETERANS DISABLED due to serving, in that case stuff your tickets you are a bunch of cheap asses!
What are the discounts for me as a retired U.S. Naval Officer who wishes to take children, grand-children , and great grand-children to your Orlando park and stay in the Contemporary Hotel? Please contact me as my Mother celebrated her 100th birthday at the park 22 years ago with 50 of her relatives from several states.
They all enjoyed their stay at the Contemporary Hotel for what turned out to be the last time together for several of them!
She was honored by Disney as the Grand Marshall of the parade that day along with her 6 Great Grand-children! The date as Grand Marshall was Saturday, August 22 1998. Her birth date was
August 21, 1898. She would feel honored if her Great-Great-Grand-Children could follow in her foot-steps now. My Mother was honored by Cinderella
joining all of us for dinner including the birthday cake replica of Cinderella’s Castle and the large framed picture of Cinderella surrounded with the signatures of all the Disney characters.. That picture still has a special place on the wall of my Mother’s room in our home where her Grand Children and Great Grand Children see it when they visit and stay in her special room! I would be happy to share with you pictures of the celebration including Cinderella, Mickey and Minnie Mouse and the Special cake! Thank you
I am retired military and would like to take family to Disney and can’t afford it. If you r a scam please
don’t waste my time…I can get tickets at the base.
The only scoop appropriate for Disney is the kind you use to clean up after Pluto.
How do I apply for the tickets and hotel stay.
Is it cheaper going thru you or the base.
It’s so discouraging that every veteran doesn’t get this discount, only a portion of military does. I called Disneyland to ask questions about this exact thing to gain clarity; I told them that our out of state family would like to start planning our vacation, and asked what discount there was for veterans? I was told that they were only for active duty, retired, reservists, or those in the national guard. So basically disabled vets, and any veteran that served their country proudly that doesn’t fit any of those requirements are exempt from the discounts. It’s a huge disservice to many of the hero’s of this country who are equally, and in many circumstances more so deserving. Seriously, how do you eliminate a Purple Heart recipient from a military discount? It’s such a slap in the face to service members; especially to those with service connected disabilities! I’m not sure who works out these discounts between Disney and military; but I’d be more than happy to write a letter on behalf of all of the military families exempted by how this discount is being worded. Hoping that this is some sort of a mistake; but if they don’t correct it, then we know that it wasn’t. And if Disney doesn’t support our disabled veterans; then my family will find other means of entertainment, as will the rest of our ur family and friends too.
I’m a 100 % disable veteran I and my wife and children have id. Card’s what benefits do you have for us
I just went to Disney in December and was treated with utmost respect and courteous.
We were given all discounts and when we went to the park the first day I spoke with guest services regarding some inabilities. They gave us park line passes which avoided paying extra for the lightning lanes and fast pass lanes at extra prices. Checked in on the app, went about our business until it was our time to rides. Walked through lines in 5 minutes and booked the next one.
If you don’t know how to go about this I recommend getting a travel agent to assist you or at least setup the hotel and discount tickets.
You have to look up/write shades of green (google it, and maneuver their website) an email that will get you a call back regarding park hopper passes discounted at the military rates described above.
If you need help, I can even help assist you in the right direction.
One vet to another.
100 % disabled vets are included in this deal
Thank you Disney! Please include disabled Veterans too.
So many comments, but I don’t see any responses from Disney.
Let’s make this REAL EASY, or as my DI said, Break it down Barney style.
ARE DISABLED VETS included in the offer? If so, where do we get the info and start the process to do this?
I am 100% disabled with a service dog so I won’t be on many if any rides, but my kids and grand babies would love the experience.
To my brothers and sisters, thank you for standing side by side for the freedom we enjoy, even if Disney does not respect or recognize our sacrifice.
