Happy Veterans Day to all those out there! To celebrate this important holiday, Disney has just announced some new information we know veterans are going to be very thrilled about.
Magic Kingdom Flag Retreat Ceremony
Disney offers discounted tickets to their theme parks for veterans each and every day, allowing former veterans fantastic discounts. For example, the most expensive 2025 ticket for veterans costs $469, which is a 6-Day Disney Military Salute Ticket with Park Hopping included (4-day and 5-day tickets are also available with or without Park Hopper). If you’re thinking of traveling to Disney World or Disneyland in 2026, there’s a NEW ticket deal Disney has just announced for active and retired military members that you won’t want to miss!

Please be careful how you word this. I don’t believe this is available to all Veterans. The Military salute tickets are only available to active military and “retired” military members. I don’t believe that a discharged (dd-214) veteran is eligible. We looked into this for my Sister who is an U.S. Army veteran. But as she did not stay in for 20 years and retire, she was not eligible.
Disney is failing to acknowledge that it was not only American Service Personnel who fought in both World War s and other conflicts since. I would suggest that they extend this offer to all those who currently and previously gave their services to freedom.
Just want to back up the previous comment! This is ONLY for active and retired military, NOT all veterans. Please be careful how you word this. I also looked into it for my dad who is a U.S. Air Force veteran, and he was also not eligible.
I agree with a prior post…. Being a veteran is different than being retired military. A bit confusing because an individual who retires from the military is a veteran, but not all veterans retire from the military. I was active duty Air Force, served my 4 years and then separated from active duty. I’m a veteran, but not a retired military member.
Only for Active Duty or Retired.
Brilliant!
Jeremy said what I was going to inform you.
A veteran can be someone who served 10 days or 19 years. Active Duty are those currently serving and Retired Military fulfilled at least their 20 years commitment to the United States or medically retired due to a line of duty condition. Both active duty and retired military receive full government benefits, and is what Disney offers ticket discounts too. They have also added those veterans who are 100% disabled through the military.
(I’m retired military of 27 years, and 100% disabled. Therefore someone like me would qualify.)
Hey Disney, stop leaving out veterans just because we didn’t serve 20 years. ALL VETERANS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE DISCOUNTS, ESPECIALLY DISABLED VETERANS THAT ARE LESS THAN 100% TOO. WE ALL MATTER.
