Military Discounts

[Hockey9817]

Are there new military discounts for DisneyWorld for 2003?

[Michelle Hohmann]

The best discounts for the military come from Shades of Green, the military-operated resort on Walt Disney World property. SOG is currently being renovated but military guests can get the Contemporary (or other resorts) at greatly discounted rates.

For more information you can check out the SOG website directly:

You can also get military discounts on tickets through SOG. All reservations need to be booked directly through them. :)
