Thank you to everyone who has served, and to the families who serve right alongside them. For Veterans Day on November 11, Disney announced its 2027 military offers, and this year they reach across four destinations: Disney Military Salute tickets at Walt Disney World (including the yearlong Celebrates America ticket), up to 30% off Disney World resort rooms, discounted Disneyland tickets and rooms, Aulani room savings, and military rates on select Disney cruises.
I've been a Disney travel agent since 2010 and I'm a College of Disney Knowledge graduate. Here's what each offer includes, the fine print that trips people up, and how I'd use them.
Every option includes Park Hopper. Park Hopper Plus adds a set number of water park, golf or mini golf visits for $30 more. Prices are before tax:
| 2027 Ticket | Park Hopper | Park Hopper Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket | $549 | $579 |
| 6-Day Military Salute Ticket | $469 | $499 |
| 5-Day Military Salute Ticket | $449 | $479 |
| 4-Day Military Salute Ticket | $429 | $459 |
These are far below regular gate prices. Compare them with my breakdown of the 2027 Disney World ticket price increase.
If you might visit more than once next year, look at this one first. It lets you visit again and again from January 1 through December 21, 2027, as long as you have a theme park reservation, and you can hold up to five park reservations at a time on a rolling basis.
It's only $80 more than the 6-day ticket, so if you're stationed in Florida or planning two trips, it's an easy call. It is not an Annual Pass, though: no parking and no Passholder discounts.
All four Disney World tickets are valid January 1 through December 21, 2027, except:
Unused days expire after December 21, 2027. Every park day needs a reservation, and Disney limits how many are set aside for these tickets, so check availability before you buy and book your reservations right after.
Active and retired U.S. military members qualify, including the National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard and Space Force. Active and retired members of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service and NOAA qualify too, and so do spouses with a valid, active military ID.
The eligible member or spouse can buy up to six Disney World Salute tickets for family and friends, and one of those has to be for them. If they already have a Disney World Annual Pass, the limit is five. Each ticket has to be used by the same person every day.
A lot of people ask whether veterans can buy them. Generally, if you're not retired and don't have a valid military ID, you won't qualify. Check your ID status with your base ticket office before you plan around these prices.
Participating military base ticket offices, including Shades of Green, sell them with no sales tax, and base prices can be a little lower than Disney's. Disney World park ticket windows sell them with tax added. The member or spouse shows military ID and activates the tickets at a park ticket window before the first visit.
Military families can also add Memory Maker for $98 (limit two), bought at a Disney World park ticket window.
The 2027 military room offer covers most nights from January 1 through December 21, 2027, with the same blockouts as the tickets. Summer (June 1 to August 31) gets the biggest discount:
Disney's Lakeshore Lodge is included for stays beginning July 1, 2027, so summer stays there in July and August fall in the 30% tier. If you're weighing a family suite, here's my Art of Animation review.
A few room types are excluded, including Copper Creek Cabins, Polynesian Bungalows, 1- and 2-bedroom villas at Polynesian Villas, Animal Kingdom Villas Club Level rooms and all 3-bedroom villas. The member or spouse must stay in the room and show military ID at check-in, and rooms set aside for the offer are limited.
Military families often love the patriotic side of Magic Kingdom. If you've never seen it, here's The Hall of Presidents on my Fun Park Go YouTube channel.
Bringing more people than your six Salute tickets cover? For regular Disney World tickets, I recommend Get Away Today's Walt Disney World discount tickets. Use promo code FunParkGo for $10 off a package. Undercover Tourist is another reputable discount seller.
Disneyland's 1-day, 1-park military ticket is $104 for adults and $98 for kids ages 3 to 9, and it's good for visits through December 30, 2027. You buy it at a participating U.S. military base ticket office with your military ID (Disney also points eligible members to GOVX for online purchase). A park reservation is still required, and parking isn't included.
Starting November 17, 2026, Disney says it will add 2027 offers for 3-day and 4-day Park Hopper tickets from $339 and up to 40% off select Disneyland Resort hotel rooms. Those aren't on sale yet, and Disney hasn't posted the full 2027 terms. Disneyland's current military pages still show the 2026 versions, so don't use the 2026 prices to plan a 2027 trip. For non-military members of your group, my guide to getting discount Disneyland tickets covers your options.
At Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa on O'ahu, eligible military members can save on select stays in the first half of 2027:
The spring offer needs at least 2 consecutive nights, checkout by May 28, 2027, and booking by April 1, 2027. Suites and 3-Bedroom Grand Villas are excluded, the member or spouse has to stay on the reservation and show military ID at check-in, and rooms are limited. Wondering when the rest of the year is cheapest? See my Aulani reviews and cheapest time to visit.
Disney Cruise Line offers military members up to 35% off the voyage fare on select sailings. Right now the list includes 35%-off Disney Dream and Disney Destiny sailings from Fort Lauderdale between late December 2026 and March 2027, plus select sailings from Port Canaveral, San Diego and Galveston. Disney updates the list often, so sailings come and go.
Know the rules before you book: the rate is for new bookings only, it covers the voyage fare but not taxes, fees, port expenses, gratuities or Port Adventures, and it's limited to one stateroom per military member per sailing. The member or spouse has to sail in that stateroom and show ID at check-in. If you're new to Disney cruising, start with are Disney cruises worth it?
