Walt Disney World for Military Families – 2021

All the current Military Discount Information is in it for both Disney World and Shades of Green.

Walt Disney World for Military Families organizes all of the information that you’ll need into logically arranged chapters. Unlike other WDW guides, it starts with the special decisions that military families have to make prior to vacation planning like the general public does.

With so many things at Disney World closed or modified this year and not knowing when things will change presents a problem in how to present to you all that you’ll need to know.

So I decided to present everything, as if Disney World was operating normally and then letting you know what isn’t available or has been modified. This way you’ll have all the info for things that will be coming back as well as what’s going on now.

Walt Disney World for Military Families 2021There are chapters on:

  • The history of WDW Military Discounts
  • All about the Disney Armed Forces Salute
  • All about Shades of Green
  • Tickets deals
  • When to go
  • Where to stay, including Military Discounts
  • WDW’s theme parks
  • WDW Dining including some Military Discounts
  • Other things to do at WDW, some Military Discounted
  • WDW Transportation – getting there and getting around, some Military Discounted
  • Disability information
  • And our chapter on tips, great ideas, and theme park etiquette

Walt Disney World for Military Families is available in three different formats:

  • A PFD download directly from my site
    • This version can be read on your iPad, Kindle, windows pad, smart phone, or computer
    • Free updated versions as needed in 2021*.
  • Amazon Kindle Reader format
    • This Kindle version can be read on Kindle devices, Kindle apps for other pads like the iPad, and on your computer using the Kindle Cloud Reader
    • Free updated versions as needed in 2021*.
  • A standard size 6” x 9” print book from Amazon
    • This print version can be read the old fashioned way. 

 

The Essential Guide to Shades of Green – Updated for 2021

This book is ideal for those planning a Shades of Green vacation who have either been to Walt Disney World before, or think they have enough info on WDW from other sources, but are still looking for more info on WDW’s military resort.

Planning a Disney World Vacation is challenging to say the least. With all you have to think about, you don’t want to have to worry that your accommodations won’t be what you expect. The Essential Guide to Shades of Green will show you everything you need to know! The first time my family stayed at Shades of Green, we had no idea what to expect. What the rooms, restaurants, or amenities would be like.

I put together the Essential Guide to Shades of Green so that your will know prior to going, just what the resort is like.

Disneyland for Military Families – 2020

The response to my first book, Walt Disney World Military Families was so great that I wanted to expand even further to cover all the Disney resorts in the US from the perspective of the military family.

All the current Military Discount Information is in it for  2017 for Disneyland.

Disneyland for Military Families organizes all of the information that you’ll need into logically arranged chapters. Unlike other DIsney guides, it starts with the special decisions that military families have to make prior to vacation planning like the general public does.
