Regular Military Discounted Walt Disney World Tickets
These are almost identical to the 1 to 5 day Walt Disney World tickets that are available to the general public, but at a slight military discount.
- These tickets are always available

Walt Disney World Regular Military Ticket Prices
There was a big change for the Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets starting with the February 2021 price increase.
The change being that there are now 2 prices for all 1-Day Tickets. The “Seasonal, which is the version and pricing that we have always had, however these are no longer valid at Christmas time, and the (non-seasonal) 1-day tickets which have no blackout dates at Christmas and are good all year, but are about $20 more expensive.
Don’t blame me for the naming convention! It seems to me the cheaper ones that you would use most of the year would be the regular ones and the more expensive ones that you would only need to use during the Christmas “Season” would be called the “seasonal” ones… But that’s just me.
Note the more expensive versions only needs to be used during the Seasonal Blockout dates.
Prices at your local Base Ticket Office will be very similar (within a few dollars).
One-Day “Seasonal” Tickets
Note, these are the best price single day tickets! They are not valid during the Christmas Season (see dates just below). When these are not valid you will need to use the more expensive single-day tickets in the section just below this one.

Note 1: Wolfgang Puck’s does not have a corporate sponsored military discount, but I’m told that if you ask to speak with a manager they will give you one. (MDT reader Intel Report)
Note: From time to time your may have a server who is not up to speed.
In the past some servers were knowledgeable about the military discount their location offered, but others had to ask their manager. So be sure to ask them to double check if they say they don’t offer one!!!
Also don’t be afraid to ask at locations not on the list! You never know, at one location without a military discount the person gave me his Disney cast member discount and thanked me for my service.
