As a thank you for their service, Disney offers members of the Military special discounted rates for their Disneyland and Walt Disney World theme park tickets as well as discounts on Resort hotel stays and Disney Cruise Line vacations. The discounts availabe for Disney Cruise Line sailings are updated each week so if you're looking at a cruise, be sure to check back weekly as the new discounts are released. The Walt Disney World has its own Military Resort, Shades of Green, which is specifically for members of the U.S. Military and their families to utilize.
Current Disney Discounts for Military:
In a secluded area near the Magic Kingdom, sandwiched between the Magnolia and Palm golf courses, sits the Shades of Green Resort. The Shades of Green was originally built as a deluxe Walt Disney World Resort and was formerly known as the Disney Inn. In February 1994, the Department of Defense leased the resort for exclusive use by retired and active military personnel and their families, members of the reserves and the National Guard, as well as Department of Defense civilians. The name, "Shades of Green" signifies the camouflage uniforms worn by the armed forces without singling out any one particular branch. The resort is fully self-supporting and operates with non-appropriated funds. All profits are turned back into the resort for improvements to the accommodations and services. **NOTE - Shades of Green requires notice of cancellation at least 30-days prior to arrival, or your credit card will be charged an amount equal to one night's stay.
