Will the military rates be available for 2021?
Hi Lisa,
I actually just posted about this: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disney-armed-forces-salute/will-there-be-a-2021-disney-armed-forces-salute-room-discount-when-will-disney-announce-a-2021-salute-room-discount/
If you are permanently medically retired w <20yrs, receive retirement pay and have a retiree ID DD form2, do you qualify for the military Disney resort discount?
Hi B,
Yes as a retiree you qualify for the Disney Armed Forces Salute, Shades of Green, and all lesser Disney discounts.
Because you are a retiree with that ID, none of the other stuff even comes into play!
From what I understand after reading your, much appreciated, discount breakdown- my husband with service connected disabilities (90% not 100%) would qualify for magic your way tickets with a military discount, correct? Would that status also qualify for a room only discount?
Hi Megan,
Unfortunately not, a valid retired or 100% DAVPRM ID is required for that discount.
You would be eligible for stays at Shades of Green though.
I just called to price a military-discounted room for the moderate resorts. The only one having a military discount was Coronado Springs. The standard room with two queen size bed came with a whopping 20% discount. The discount offered to the general public for this room at this resort during my time frame is better.
Hi there Peg,
Sadly, that seems to be the state of Disney Military Discounts these days. My TA Jen and I were just talking about this yesterday while walking around Universal Orlando. Room discounts can be hard to find here due to capacity, but Universal tends to work with you anyway…
I had planned a trip to Universal instead of Disney, but opted out of that because the military-discounted rooms were actually more expensive than the Savvy Traveler rate given to everyone.
There were no discounts at all for Sapphire Falls, Royal Pacific or Hard Rock. Portofino Bay only offered it on a two-bedroom suite. So I changed plans and went back to Disney.
They only had Coronado Springs, Gran Destino Towers, and All Star Sports for their moderate and value resorts. The moderate was at a 20% discount and the value was at a 15% discount. I didn’t price the deluxe, figuring there was no point after the other two categories came in so low (though there was availability at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Wilderness)
Like Universal, I’ll get a better deal on the specials they offer to the general public. But at least Disney has four parks instead of only two, which is why we decided to go there if the hotel discounts weren’t that great at either theme park.
Thanks for the feedback Peg! I knew you were looking at Universal.
It seems to be a frustrating time all around for military discounts.
