Walt Disney World General Public Room Discounts • Military Disney Tips Blog

News for 2021 & 2022:

Welcome to our Non-Military Discount page for Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

On this page we will show all of the discounts that are available to the General Public as well as Florida and California Residents, Disney World Passholders, Disney Visa Card Members, and anything else that isn’t only for the military.

The purpose of this page is for you to be able to compare the room discounts available to the military with Disney’s Armed Forces Salute to what’s available to the general public in order to find the best price.

(Updated Sept 2021)

Walt Disney World General Public Room Discounts

Disney’s Art of Animation resort

Compare Total Prices Carefully!

You can compare the price Disney World quotes you for a Disney Armed Forces Salute room rate with the discounts below. Due to the variable discount percentage now offered by the Disney Armed Forces Salute, there are cases where you could pay less using one of these discounts. As an example at least a couple times during 2020 I used a WDW passholder discount instead of the Disney Armed Forces Salute discount, as it gave me another 10% off.

It is very important to note that Disney’s policy is that no discounts may be combined or stacked; you have to choose one discount or the other.

Also keep in mind, that unless specifically stated, tickets that are part of any discounts listed on this page are at Full Gate price and will have sales tax added.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Over the years we received correspondence from numerous raiders stating that Disney cast members had told them they were receiving a military discount on a room in dining package, a room and ticket a package, or in room dining and ticket package. None of these are correct! Disney does not offer discounts on dining packages or tickets. The only discount offer in on these packages what is the room!

Comparing all of these discounts can be a daunting task!

I recommend using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (travel agent)! Doing so can take the stress out of planning a Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation, which can be a complicated and overwhelming task. You have probably seen elsewhere on the site that I recommend Ears of Experience as my preferred Authorized Disney Vacation Planners. They will do all the work for you!
