Are there any discounts for military veterans who served less than 20 years who are members of the Veterans of Foreign wars? I am life member. Thank you
Hi Gary,
Thanks for checking out the site!
There are no discounts available directly from Disney for your situation.
There is the this one discount available for non-retired veterans which is from Shades of Green. It is only for the months of January and September. Here is my post with details including what documentation is required: http://www.militarydisneytips.com/Shades-of-Green/Non-Retired-Veterans.html
Disgraceful. Every veteran deserve the discounts
The fact that my husband fought in Vietnam put his life on the line and lost his hearing and has ptsd doesn’t count. So disgraceful
