[Shirley J S]

My future son-in-law was in the Air Force 2002-2008 and he was stationed in Iraq in 2005, is he eligible for the military discount tickets for Disney World?

Is he an active/retired military member? That's what matters, tickets can be purchased through his active military base or at Shades of Green, a valid military ID is required.

What's the discount?

You can read about it here:

That said you save about 5% - 10% plus there are no taxes due, so the price is the price. There's more to it than that, but its best to just read up on them and what the include (note: Stars and Stripes passes are like Hoppers plus Water Park tickets).

If he just served his 6 years and then got out, probably not.
