Military discount info PLEASE!

[chilihead]

Any help here is appreciated. My brother and his wife and baby are currently stationed in FL and want to come up to see us while we're at DW. They can only come on Monday b/c it's Columbus Day and they are off of work. They would like to stay Sunday night and spend Monday with us. I'm trying to help them find a good deal on a hotel. Anyone have ideas?

I have given them the Mousesavers URL, Deb Wills' site, and the SoG info. Is there anything else they can look at? Can they get a military discount at any other resorts besides SoG?

Thanks for any and all advice!

WDW was giving out a military discount but it has ended. SOG would be their best bet in my opinion.

SOG is prob the best option but a value MAY be cheaper depending on rank. They should buy there tickets at SOG though. The prices for SOG tickets are on allearsnet.com I am not aware of any other hotel discounts on site. If they try offsite they MAY get military rate at another hotel but they would prob like on site better with a baby.

Another thought? Do either of them have FL DL? If they do they can get FL discount on room at value and maybe even FL & military discount on tickets.They should check. I believe the tickets only require them to be stationed in FL , not have DL...not sure on room.

And if SoG is full have them ask for an overflow rate.

Check out the Armed Forces Vacation Club www.AFVclub.com
They can rent a condo in the Kissimmee/Orlando area for $264.00/week. It is basically RCI as space available. No fees to join. We stayed in a 2 bedroom fully furnished condo on our last trip to WDW. It was wonderful. Open to all active/retired military. Also can be given as a gift certificate by the members.
