Disabled Veterans Are Eligible for Disney Military Discounts

Are you a Disabled Veteran?

Then you are eligible for Disney’s Armed Forces Salute and other discounts if you have the proper ID.

I get lots of great questions from my readers via email and in comments on my blog posts. Some of the questions can be answered by my Disney Armed Forces Salute FAQ, others take some thought or more research on my part.

Occasionally I’ll get several different requests for the same information in a short period of time. When I do, I know I need to get that info out to everyone.

I just received three questions to clarify if disabled vets are eligible for Disney’s great Military Salute.

Yes They Are!

The eligible veteran should have a Retired ID card with the code: DAVPRM printed on it. DAVPRM stands for Disabled Veteran Permanent status.

Here is a link to more info on this discount

Shades Of Green Benefits as well

Disabled Vets are also eligible to stay at Shades of Green (the military owned and operated reasort on Disney property) and purchase military discounted tickets there. Shades of Green’s policy says “Honorably Discharged Veterans with 100% service-connected disability (and their families)” are eligible. Required documentation is a DD Form 1173 or DD Form 2765.

Non-US Military Members Eligible To Stay At Shades Of Green

Every once in a while I get an email from a member of the military from other countries asking about what military discounts might be available for them, not only for Disney World but also the other Orlando theme parks. Just last week I received three of these, one from the UK, one from Canada, and one from Brazil.

So I thought I’d put a post up with some details.

Unfortunately foreign military members are not eligible for Disney’s special Armed Forces Salute.

But foreign military members are eligible to stay at the Shades of Green Resort, the US military owned and operated hotel on Disney World property. As guests of the Shades of Green they would then be eligible to purchase the regularly military discounted tickets for Disney World , Universal Studios Orlando, Sea World, and many other venues.
