Disney and Universal have now announced military discounts for all their domestic theme park resort experiences. The news comes after we already shared the full set of Walt Disney World military ticket discounts and Walt Disney World military hotel discounts. Last year in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Disney rolled out increased discounts and a unique ticket type. They have continued this into 2027.
We’ll get into all the discount details, who is eligible, and the specifics for each destination. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including new holiday popcorn buckets and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays food guide.
Disney Celebrates Military Families With Discounts into 2027
Disney has a long history of supporting U.S. military families and veterans. They just announced their suite of military discounts for next year around Veterans Day. During Veterans Day, we were in the parks. At Disneyland, they held a special flag retreat featuring cast members who are veterans or actively serving currently. See that in the photo above. The flag retreat also featured a Navy band from Camp Pendleton. We highly encourage anyone visiting the parks to attend the daily flag retreat as it is a wonderful tradition filled with patriotism and nostalgia. Now, turning to the discounts announced for 2027.
