I already know how to get discounted tickets through the MWR, but I'm wondering if being in the armed forces will entitle me to any special deals or discounts. I already know to get a button when I go to Disneyland on my birthday and what that will bring me, but I'm wondering if showing my military ID anywhere will get me anything.
Originally Posted By Kira As far as I know (from personal experience) military ID gets nothing other than the discounted tickets at MWR, and even those discounted tickets are NOT sold at disneyland, reguardless of the situation. Sad, I know....but than there's always an AP discount if you get the AP =P
Originally Posted By SteamboatPhillie I kinda figured on that. At least I get the special birthday stuff. And I know I can't get the discount at the ticket window; there's an MWR resort at WDW and they said I could buy tickets on site there (even though I will be staying somewhere else). Now I just need MWR to get back to me on getting tickets for DL when there's no travel agency on post here.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I thought DL offered military rates at their hotels? Have you visited Shadesofgreen.org for more info about WDW? I know they have great restaurants with really good prices for military at their resort.
Originally Posted By SteamboatPhillie Yes, it was through Shades of Green that I saw I could buy discount tickets for WDW, even without staying at the resort. But a) I'll be going to Disneyland first and b) I don't think a WDW resort will have tickets for DL anyway. I'll have to check on the hotel rates, though. Good point.
