Well, Disney has certainly shown great appreciation for our military year after year. At the end of September, they announced the Armed Forces Salute for 2017!
This amazing program offers active and retired members of the U.S. military as well as members of the Reserves, Guard, Coast Guard, PHS and NOAA, 100% service related disabled veterans and a few others a huge discount on both tickets and rooms for Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
If you are eligible, you certainly want to take advantage of this offer.
Thank you for supporting our military!
Disney’s Armed Forces Salute Tickets
In 2017, eligible guests still have the ability to purchase six (6) Armed Forces Salute tickets. One ticket must be used by the military personnel or spouse. The remaining five can be used by any friend or family member traveling with them. Remember, you are eligible for 6 in Disney World and 6 in Disneyland.
There are a few changes to the tickets for 2017 though. Military guests have the option of purchasing tickets for two different lengths of days instead of the current (2016) 4 day ticket option in Disney World and 3 day option in Disneyland.
Disney World Armed Forces Salute Ticket Options and Pricing
- Four Day Park Hopper-$209
- Four Day Park Hopper plus Water Parks and More-$246
- Five Day Park Hopper-$224
- Five Day Park Hopper plus Water Parks and More-$261
Disneyland Armed Forces Salute Ticket Options and Pricing
- Three Day Park Hopper-$156
- Four Day Park Hopper-$181
All tickets can be purchased from your local MWR, Shades of Green, and Disney Parks. Please note that tickets purchased directly from Disney will have tax added to the above amounts; MWR and Shades of Green tickets are tax free.
Armed Forces Salute Renewal 2016!
Also important to note, all tickets can be linked to your “mydisneyexperience”. However, tickets purchased from MWR and Disney will require proof of service (military ID) and activation at the park’s customer service desk. Tickets purchased from Shades of Green will be activated at the Shades of Green ticket counter, saving you time at the park.
And finally, these tickets can be purchased now through December 16, 2017. They are eligible for use from January 1, 2017 through December 19, 2017. Blackout dates: April 9-23, 2017.
Disney’s Armed Forces Salute Room Discounts
Again, Disney has been very generous in offering military guests an amazing discount. The room discount, unlike the ticket discount, can be used repeatedly. The eligible dates and blackout dates, however, are the same as the ticket dates.
