Disneyland and Walt Disney World have always been magical destinations that families and individuals of all ages dream of visiting. The parks offer a world of adventure and unforgettable memories. For military personnel, the magic of Disney becomes even more accessible, thanks to special Disney military discount offers. Learn about the options available at Disney Parks in Orlando and Anaheim, specifically focusing on the discounts for this year.
Understanding Disney Military Offers
As a token of appreciation to US military members and veterans, Disney Parks offers special discounts on tickets, dining, and accommodations. These special prices make the magic of Disney more accessible, allowing families to create lasting memories without breaking the bank. We will discuss Disneyland Resort tickets, Walt Disney World theme park tickets, as well as hotel and other discounts available to those with a valid military ID.
Overview of The Disney Military Salute Offer
One of the most well-known military offers at Disney Parks is the Armed Forces Salute also known as the Disney Military Salute. This program offers specially priced theme park tickets to military personnel and their families. Other offers include lower prices on hotel accommodations and extras like the Memory Maker photo service. The Disney Military Salute is valid for eligible service members, military families, and veterans.
Eligibility for Disney Military Offers
You must meet certain eligibility criteria to take advantage of Disney’s military discounts. Active-duty military, National Guard, Reservists, the US Coast Guard, the US Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) members are eligible for the promotion.
Additionally, retired military personnel, as well as their family members, are also eligible. The military sponsor no longer has to be present for a spouse to purchase the tickets as long as the spouse has a valid ID. It is important to note that a valid military ID is required to purchase the discounted passes and have them activated.
Details of the Disney Military Salute
Military personnel can purchase theme park tickets at a lower price thanks to the Military Salute ticket option. The Military Salute is a specific ticket purchase, and it includes the park hopping option whether you want it or not. While the Military Salute tickets are a great value, you can purchase theme park admission for fewer days and without a park hopper. These are called Magic Your Way tickets. It is important to note the expiration dates, activation process, and options available to ensure a seamless experience at the parks.
2024 Disney Military Salute Offers
Walt Disney World recently announced the prices and options for the 2024 Disney Military Salute. Guests can now choose between a 4-day, 5-day, or 6-day Disney Military Salute Ticket (formerly the Disney Military Promotional Ticket) with a park hopper or park hopper plus option. Tickets are valid for use between January 1 and December 20, 2024 with block-out dates from March 24 to April 6, 2024 and November 24-30, 2024.
Theme Park Tickets: Park Hopper or Not?
One of the main perks of the military discount program at Disney parks is the special discount on theme park tickets. The discount applies to base ticket options (also called Magic Your Way tickets), tickets that include the park hopper feature, and Memory Maker (a photo service in the parks). Theme park tickets are valid for up to fourteen days after first use and must be used by December 10, 2024.
Disney World Military Tickets
There are ticket and hotel discounts for those planning a visit to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. These discounts include military promotional tickets, Memory Maker, and discounts on hotel stays. Shades of Green, a hotel specifically for members of the military, also offers special pricing for members with a valid military ID.
Disney World military tickets can be purchased at your military base ticket office or by visiting the Shades of Green ticket office. Once activated, the Disney World app can save your ticket information for easy reference throughout your visit. Connecting it to the app will also help your group book Genie+ reservations together.

When it comes to Disney Armed Forces Salute tickets, military personnel have several options to choose from. The number of days, park hopper option, and Memory Maker service are factors to consider when selecting tickets. The Armed Forces Salute tickets have three options. This unique offer includes a four-day park hopper, a five-day park hopper, and a six-day park hopper ticket.
Disneyland Military Discount Tickets
The Disneyland military discount is the same as the one offered at Disney World in Florida. The Disney Military Salute is available for Disneyland tickets, and military members can get discounts on hotel rooms. However, because there are only three Disneyland-owned hotels in California, there is not much availability for room discounts in comparison to Disney World. All guests still need to make a theme park reservation in addition to their valid admission to enter Disneyland Resort.
2024 Disney Military Salute Tips
Looking specifically at the 2024 Disney Armed Forces Salute, you’ll need to know these tips to make the most of your passes. It is important to familiarize yourself with the eligibility criteria, including what is considered valid military identification, the activation process, and special price options for other products.
You also must know that the spouse or member who purchased the passes must be present to activate the passes at the gate. Once active, the member or spouse no longer has to travel with you into the parks, but they must present their military ID for your passes to become valid admission.
Other Prominent Disney Military Discount Offers
In addition to the Armed Forces Salute, a Disney military discount is available for other products. Other products available for active duty and veterans at a lower price include hotel rooms and Memory Maker.

Resort Room Discounts and Memory Maker Offers
Resort room discounts at select Disney resorts are available. These rates are not as prevalent as other special offers and are limited by the number of rooms offered and the time of year they are offered. Memory Maker service is offered at a special price, allowing families to capture and preserve their magical moments at the park.
