When Will Disney Renew the Disney Armed Forces Salute for 2025?

This is the million-dollar question for our community! In this post I lay out historical info and my thoughts.

The Drawbridge at EPCOT's World Showcase

The drawbridge in the World Showcase at EPCOT is an interesting and often overlooked bit of trivia found in this Disney Park.

The C-141 Starlifter Lives On In WDW's Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Disneyland's Soarin' Over California

Here is a fun post with some military history and memorabilia. Those who have read my About Page know that for a big part of my career I flew on the Air Force C-141 aircraft. This post started a few years back with a fun find at WDW, and I've just updated it with another find I made last month at Disneyland.

Disney Cruise Line Military Discounts

Did you know that the Disney Cruise Line also offers Military Discounts?

They Sure do!

These discounts aren't offered all the time though. They are just for specific sailings and cabin types. And they are often available to book for a limited time. In fact, the list of availability changes every week! Disney updates the dates if needed on Mondays (as do we).

Last month Disney stopped publishing prices on their website. They just publish the available dates for the military discounts now. You or your travel agent must call for prices.

You can see available dates and learn more on our Disney Cruise Line Military Discount page.
