I am shocked by the MTO prices. I am not a military spouse so I do not have anything to gain but I can't imagine there being many military families that could afford these rates. Maybe the top 20% in command. My understanding of the Military Appreciation Rates were they were designed to show gratitude to active duty and retired military. These rates seem to be almost disrespectful. Disney has a right to set their prices but if they want to offer an "honor/gratitude" rate I think it should be a rate that is appropriate for the honored population.
I don't know, my husband is active duty (E5) with only 4 years in and I find these rates to be really generous. Is it something we could do often even with them? No. This makes it an option though if we save up, which at full rate it probably wouldn't be. We couldn't go this year due to scheduling and the lack of summer MTO discounts, but are hoping to make it work next year sometime late! I think Disney has AWESOME military discounts, both land and sea

Basically, I'm just super grateful they offer anything! I feel like people sometimes forget they don't have to. Every little bit helps!
