Ok I'm a little confused. Just called reservations.my husband is in the military. The person I spoke to said she can only give me a price for hotel. We would have to buy tickets at the park. Now I know they have the military special on the tickets...I told her we didn't want them because they are only for 4 days. Doesn't sound right to me. She said can't give us a price when we are using military discount on the room.
 
Welcome to the DIS!

Yes, Disney is offering a military discount on resort rooms.

Yes, there are 4-day Military Salute tickets that are discounted. If you want more days than that, you have to buy regular tickets.

You can get a room-only reservation with the military discount for the length of stay you want and buy your tickets separately. You don't have to link them to your resort stay.

I'm not sure what you were trying to book, but if you can give some more details, I'm sure we can help you with the particulars.
 
Check with your base. My sil was able to get some tickets at a discount there. I'm not sure if they were the same four day tickets or something else. This was back in 2013 though
 
What I am asking if they can only give me a price for the hotel. I don't want to use any discounted tickets. I want A package rate
 

They can't bundle full-priced tickets with the military-discounted room. The offer of the military-discounted room assumes you are going to use the Military Salute tickets.

If you want to get a package deal so you can get a dining plan, you can get a room + dining package with the military-discounted rate, but still have to buy your tickets separately.

If he is on full active duty, you should be able to stay at Shades of Green for a heck of a good rate for a Walt Disney World property close to the Magic Kingdom. In addition, you can get your tickets at Shades of Green for a decent discount ($169 per ticket for a four-day hopper pass). Here's the link for Shades of Green. Give them a call first before you purchase tickets elsewhere.

Rose we have already done the shades of green. It is an ok hotel but I'd much rather stay at a Disney hotel.
 
My husband is active duty and I have a room (discounted) and the dinning plan booked. I had the option to have the tickets put on too. But we are going to use the magic my way tickets through mwr (a 10 day hopper) .
 
There's no military discount for packages. It's a room-only discount. You can purchase tickets through the agent when you book your room. There's no obligation to get the 4-day Salute tickets. Two years ago we booked a room with the military discount and 7 day park hoppers at regular price. If you want the Dining Plan, you can add that too, but it's full price. The agent tried to push purchasing 3 day tickets through her and getting the 4-day Salutes at Shades of Green when we arrived to get the 7 days total we needed, but it cost way more than just getting 7 day tickets. If you want a discount on tickets, you can purchase them at military bases or Shades of Green. I think the savings is around 10% plus no tax. We're not close to a base and we didn't want to bother going to SOG since we were arriving at 10:00 a.m., didn't have a car, and wanted to go to a park while we waited for our room to be ready later in the afternoon. We went straight to resort, picked up our KTTK cards (now you'll get Magic Bands), headed to EPCOT and got a text later in the afternoon with our room number.

You don't need a "package." You can build it yourself through a Disney agent by reserving a room at the military rate, purchasing the Dining Plan, if desired, and ordering the tickets you need for your length of stay. Disney may offer what they call packages, but when you do the math, you're often better off without one, especially if you can take advantage of other discounts.
