Curse you Disney and your great offers!

Just got back from spending New Year's Eve at DL/CA and was planning to skip out on my trip to WDW this year. Well.....I have some DVC points to use and with the military discount, we are off to WDW at the end of July/early August for ten nights. We are hoping BLT is still available but are more than happy to stay at any of the DVC resorts. We will do one day in each park and add on the Water Park option, hit each of those, and also go to DisneyQuest.

With the 40% room discount, I am going to splurge and add on a two night stay at the Poly. My son has been begging to stay there for years, but it is so pricey!

Booked 2 rooms at Pop this morning - our third family trip, first on property. The guy I spoke with mentioned that mine was the 4th military discount reservation he made today.

If you book more than one room w/ this discount how does that work? I am asking for friends and parents. (I am the one that fills everyone in on the deals and such). Do they have to be at the same resort? And do they have to be for the same length of stay? Say some in the party want to stay for 4 nights at the Contemporary and others would rather stay for 8 at the Pop (or even all at the same resort). Just trying to give them all their options. And what about the tickets? Can they be given to adult kids and grandkids to use if they are with them at the time? Thanks!

thanks for the info, gonna book next weekend, wanted to use taxes to pay for it, but I can go ahead and book!!! We're doing deluxe dining too!! And after looking at all the deluxe villas, I think I'm going with the treehouse. Gives the girls AND the boys their own TV, my son wants to bring the Wii...and if my friend's husband comes, then they can have their own room too!! It's a win win for everyone!! Plus, my hubby will have his big whirlpool tub, he loves his baths, especially after a long park day!!! I shall call next friday morning pronto!! Happy birthday to me!! I'm going to Disney!!

Has anyone had expereince using this discount with retiree id card? My dad is retired military, but he is not much on disney but my mom who has a dependent ID will be with us, Can we get all the discounts with her ID. Have booked a trip in May but just want to make sure when we get there we do not have problems.

Yes your mom can get all the discounts.....Anyone with a VALID military ID including retirees, dependant IDs and active duty!

I believe you can book at different resorts, and that they can be for different lengths of time (so long as the overlap). Call and ask a CM, and they should be able to tell you more. The one with the military status may need to be present at check-in to show the valid ID, so your friends might want to keep that in mind.

The tickets can be picked up at their local military office, they are able to get up to 6 tickets per military member. One of the guests must have a valid military ID (or a dependent's ID) to validate the tickets at WDW (like mentioned in previous posts). The tickets can be used for family or friends.

We planned on going and staying at pop. Now with the room discount we are staying at Beach Club. Also hopefully 2 night at the Grand Floridan. I have wanted to stay there for years just couldn't afforded it.

Thanks for the info! I will pass it along. I did call once and who ever I got was nice, but didn't know much. I also don't since I'm not military. I have a few friends that are and they wanted me to let them know if I find any deals. That helps a lot with all the other info!

Ok, just a couple more questions. If you book more than one room w/ this discount, do both rooms have to be in the name of the military person. Or can they book two rooms (one for them and one for another) and have them each in a different name. There concern is paying for both rooms and having the others have to pay them instead of them just being able to pay Disney. Did I make sense?

I have 2 military discount questions for all you Disney experts

I have a friend whose husband is deceased and was active duty and her children have military i.d.'s. Can her and her children buy these tickets? Can they have the room discount?? We have called Disney, but are getting different do they qualify for the room discount?? She has since remarried.

I also have another friend whose father is retired military ~ the father does not want to go, but the adult son and the wife of the retired military person want to go. Can they buy the tickets??

Thanks in ADVANCE!!!

The spouse of the deceased can buy the tix and get the room discount.

The retired dad who doesn't want to go will have to exchange the vouchers into tix, but mom, who has an ID card, can get the room discount without dad. The adult son, can't unless he is in the military.

All of the reservations must be in the name of the ID card holder, not in the civilian's name. Payment can be made, I believe, in a different (the civilian's) credit card holder's name, if that's what you mean. But, I have never done this personally, so I'm making an assumption which might be incorrect.

Last summer when my sister came with us to Disney, her room was under her name for reservation but linked to our original reservation. When she checked in DH had to show his id, but other then that there was no hassle at all.

Thank you for posting that you were able to link the reservation to the ID card holder's name. When you call, the CM's don't always know this.

Was it the same reservation number or a different one and did your name appear on her confirmation? Just curious.

My family used the military room discount in November and the reservation was under my name, not my BIL who is retired Navy. We were told that when we checked in he'd have to show his ID, but when we checked in I asked the CM if he needed to see BIL's ID and he said no. I don't know if we just had a CM who didn't know or what the deal was, but the ressie was definitely in my name.

We've also encountered some CM's who have asked for ID and another who couldn't have cared less.
