Military discount question..

[katyringo]

This is going to be too much information but my question requires it.

In 2018 there was a law passed called the veterans equal access act. It gave veterans with service connected disabilities access to on base services.

in Disney terms this meant these veterans could now stay at Shades of green in DisneyWorld and purchase slightly discounted tickets (NOT salute tickets).

This is different than those with 100% disability ratings as 100% is considered "retired"

in terms of Disneyland there is no military hotel like shades and according to all Disney websites these service connected veterans are not eligible for the discounted rates.

well in a shades of green Facebook there is a poster saying he has spoken to two levels at Disney who confirmed these veterans- with the service connected disability not at 100%- ARE eligible for these hotel discounts at Disneyland. He says he had checked and talked to two managers, who read the policy out loud to him, told him the website needs updated. They state it's because there isn't an option like shades at Disneyland.

I called and honestly I got a rude CM and she said it was only 100% disabled- which is what I thought.

does anyone have any experience with this?

I’m not 100% sure on my answer, but I don’t thing you would qualify for a military discount. The Veterans Equal Access Act has nothing to do with Disney and Shades of Green is not a Disney Resort so I’m not sure why those two things would translate to Disneyland hotels giving a military discount to service connect veterans (who aren’t 100%). But I guess you can keep calling until you get a CM that says you do. If that happens make sure you get the CMs name and take note of date and time you called because you have to provide proof of qualification (military ID card) upon check in.

I would probably be too nervous to try unless Disney updated their website information. It was just interesting.
