Hi...does anyone know if Disney gives military discounts?

There is a resort on the Disney poperty called Shades of Green that is for military families. Here is some info on it: http://wdwinfo.com/discounts/discounts-military.htm#ShadesofGreen

You didn't mention whether or not you are still active (thank you for your service and sacrifice), however, you could probably also find out information at your base recreation center where they have vacation plans available.

Also, I don't know the full details, but Military personnel can raise or lower the flag at the Magic Kingdom. Someone on the board may know the details, I just know that we have a friend who was able to do that and really enjoyed it.

As a former military wife... THANK YOU.

I have seen it posted on the DIS but the disneypark.com site also says that you can request your family to do the flag raising ceremony at some of the resorts. I don't know if that is for all of them but I do know it is listed with the WLR.

Thank you for your service. A little personal insite on SoG.

My DH was in the Army for 8 years (planned longer, but got out early on a partial disability from the Gulf War.) Anyway, the first time we went down we stayed at SoG and got the discounted tickets there. The resort is beautiful. The rooms are really big (2 beds, a sitting area and a fold out couch.) It is very quiet and peaceful (maybe a little too quiet.) My DD loved the Mickey shaped pool and playground. The restaurants were good and the busses ran very smoothly and everyone was very polite. The gift shop had a lot of patriotic Mickey stuff. Now, this was 11 years ago, but I am sure it is only even better now.

We can still book a military discount through SoG at Disney resorts, and we have in the past. We don't anymore because we like the DDP and it is not available at SoG or any stay booked through them as the reservation, plus if any codes come out you cannot apply them witch may be worth more than their discount. But, when we did we would typically save about $15-$20 a night at the values, I don't know how much it would be at the other resorts.

If you call SoG they will let you know what you qualify for. Just know they keep buisness hours, not Disney hours, so call during the work day for sure.

Again, my family understands your sacrifice haing been in your shoes before. We know it is difficult but also know that America would not be America without what you do so we truly respect and appreciate your service.
