Look here. WDW site notes: "Eligible Service Members" are active or retired members of the U.S. Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Spouses of Military Service Members also qualify if they are able to present valid and active U.S. Military IDs in the absence of active or retired Military Personnel or Commissioned Corps Members.
Looks like DoD civilians do not qualify.
Well, he would need 8, and by the time you add some 2 day base tickets into the mix, it may be cheaper just to go with 7 day base tickets. I'll have to look at pricing.No, cannot add days but you can buy another ticket as long as you don’t go over the ticket limit. The limit is six per household or service member per year.
I have a question: when is someone considered military?
My son is signing onto the Navy this week and will head to boot camp after he graduates HS in June. We are going on a "last" family trip to celebrate his graduation and going into the service. Does he qualify for the ticket as he is a recruit heading to boot camp? Thanks
I could be wrong but I think he’ll be in some kind of inactive status until he ships to boot camp. As a practical matter, he probably will not be able to get these tickets until he is issued a military ID card. If I remember correctly, the deeply discounted military tickets must be purchased in person on a military base. He will need an ID card to get on base and buy the tickets. There are “military discount” tickets that some base morale, welfare, and recreation offices will sell over the phone and ship to you, but those discounts are pretty comparable to the discount tickets you can find online. I would have your son check with his recruiter to see when his military ID card will be issued, my guess is that it will be at boot camp. If someone has some current information please feel free to correct me, I separated from the military four years ago.
