Updates on the 2026 Military Tickets: Here’s What’s New
To kick things off, Disney is adding a new ticket option for 2026. This is in addition to the traditional 4-, 5-, and 6-day Military Salute Tickets. Disney calls it the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket. This ticket is part of Disney’s long running military discount program. It helps service members and their families enjoy the magic for less.

From what we’ve learned, this new ticket option gives military families even more flexibility and extra value. It lets you return to Walt Disney World multiple times during the year, so you can enjoy your favorite rides and shows at your own pace.
With this new ticket, you and your family can return to the parks as many times as you like through Beginning January 1 to December 18, 2026, as long as you have a park reservation.

Important: All Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets require Theme Park Reservations for each day of use. Guests with these ticket types can park hop after 9 am.
Tip from experience: Plan your reservations early, especially if you want to hop between parks on busy days. While park reservations usually go smoothly, there’s always a chance a park could reach capacity, so it’s best to secure your spots ahead of time.
Disney Resort Savings for Military Families in 2026
Disney offers special military room rates for stays most nights between January 1 and December 18, 2026, as long as you book by December 18, 2026. From our experience, these discounts make staying on property much more affordable, especially for families who love adding extra days to their Disney trips.
Discounts vary by season, with the biggest savings during the summer months. Here’s a quick look at typical savings ranges:
- Deluxe & Disney Vacation Club Resorts: Up to 30% in summer
- Moderate Resorts: Up to 25% in summer
- Value Resorts: Up to 20% in summer
Keep in mind: not all room types or dates may be available, and some resort categories are excluded from the offer. Discounted rooms can sell out quickly, so booking early is key to snagging your preferred resort and room type.
Tip from our family: When we travel with our military family members, we love staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. It’s a Moderate Resort with a great location, beautiful pools, and plenty of space for everyone. With the military discount, sometimes we can even upgrade to a Deluxe Resort for just a little more, making our Disney stay feel extra special without spending a fortune!
