Disney cruises with military specials are typically last-minute cruises, departing within the next three months.

Sometimes they are up to 5 months out, but that is rare.

We book ALL Disney cruises at a discount – below Disney’s lowest rates!

Disney offers their military discount on a few specific ships and sail dates, and they only give their discount to ACTIVE or RETIRED military members.

And they only give it to the cabin with the military member.

OUR online discounts apply to all Disney cruises and all service members with a DD214 and their spouses and anyone traveling with them.

So, if you book a military rate offered by Disney that is available for active and retired military members (not veterans), you’ll get BOTH DISCOUNTS (ours and Disney’s), for a whopping DOUBLE DISCOUNT ON YOUR DISNEY CRUISE.

NOTE – This offer is limited to a maximum of one stateroom per military member (or spouse), per sailing.

An active or retired service member (or spouse) is required to sail to take advantage of this offer.

Need help getting all your discounts applied? That’s what we’re here for! Ask us to book for you.

If you have more than 4 or 5 people, you will need two cabins. Book one cabin at a time. Or, contact us for assistance.

Search All Disney Cruises and Enjoy the Magic of Discounted Military Rates

The links above will open a cruise search form that already has the “MILITARY” option selected – so all prices shown will reflect Disney’s and our military discount.

From there, you can modify any of the search terms, such as destination, dates you’d like to cruise, departure port, cruise line and more, and the prices on those new results shown will still reflect any military rate offered by Disney.

How do you book a Disney cruise and get your Military Discount applied?

You may book directly here on our site, as our system is configured to pull in Disney’s lowest rate and add our discount to calculate the best possible price for you.

As long as you have the ‘military’ box checked on our booking page, if there is a special low rate offered for the military, it will be displayed to you and you can book your cruise on our site at that low rate.

However, after you have booked, Disney will require you to provide evidence of your active or retired military status. After you have booked, you’ll get an email from us explaining how to do that.

Please note: if you have a family of 5 and are trying to book a Disney cruise…

Disney cruise ships only have a few cabins for five, and those are usually not included as one of the cabin types available to book at the discounted military rate.

Disney will also only give their discount to the one cabin with the military member and their children if they are under the age of 18 and there is not one single cabin that can accommodate the entire family.

Remember, even if no military discount is offered by Disney, we will apply our military discount to all cabins in your group, even if you have multiple cabins with friends and family.

All About the Disney Cruise Military and Veteran Discount

Disney often offers substantial military discounts on sailings with sail dates less than three months away. But their military discounts appear or go away daily, based on availability.

But even if Disney is not offering a military discount of their own, any military personnel, veteran or dependent who books a Disney cruise with Military Cruise Deals qualifies for our discount.

Who qualifies for Disney’s military discount?

Special Military rates are available to all retired and active U.S. Military personnel (or spouse), including U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve and U.S. Department of Defense personnel. 100% permanently disabled (DAVPRM) veterans are eligible for Disney’s Armed Forces Salute — they must have a Retired ID card with the code DAVPRM printed on it.

Active and retired members (or spouse) of the U.S. military must provide valid identification at the time of check-in.

This offer is limited to a maximum of 1 stateroom per military member (or spouse), per sailing.

A U.S. Military service member (or spouse) is required to sail to take advantage of this offer.

Activated members (or spouse) of the U.S. National Guard or the U.S. Army Reserve must also show active duty orders (must be dated as of January 1st of the previous year to qualify).

What does Disney require for Proof of Eligibility to qualify for their military discount?

Proof of Military ID is required to take advantage of Disney’s Military Discounts. Your eligibility must be verified at the time of boarding. Verification documents include one of the following:

  • Copy of Enlistment Papers and a Photo ID
  • Photocopy of Military ID
  • Copy of Military Retirement Papers or current LES. DD-214 is not acceptable because discharged veterans do not qualify for the military rate.

Can you get a military discount on group cruises on Disney?

We absolutely provide our military discount to every cabin in your Disney cruise group, yes!

Before doing anything with Disney please know that the whole group must be booked on a single form of payment (line of credit, cheque, and CC accepted). The person responsible for paying is also responsible to fill any cabins that are booked, so you have to really want this Disney group!

Disney groups are comprised of at least 8 cabins. One benefit for groups is that each group with at least 16 full-paying guests receives 1 tour conductor credit (this results in 1 person getting a free cruise fare) and a 1-hour cocktail reception.

The deposit varies by group and is due within one week of booking for all cabins in the group on the one form of payment. There is then a second due date about 180 days out where ⅓ of the balance is due, and payment in full due about 60 days out. There is some variance in group contracts with Disney and the payment schedule to go by is the one on the contract.

If you’d like to book a Disney group you will need to contact us to set it up. We can be reached at info@militarycruisedeals.com or by calling (866) 964-5482.

Disney Kids!

Disney is the go-to for cruising families. They have many cabins for 5, beautiful shows, and meet-and-greets with classic characters!

For all children between the ages of 3 and 17, Disney Cruises entertainment staff is available at the Youth Clubs and Teen/Preteen Lounges every day from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Children’s entertainment is free and is organized into three distinct categories: Teen (14–17 years old), Preteen (12–14 years old), and Oceaneer (3–12 years old).

Babysitting is available for toddlers and babies from 9:00 am–11:00 pm at Flounder’s Reef Nursery. The cost is $9 per hour for the first child and $8 per hour for the second child.

Babysitting needs to be reserved 75 days in advance for new guests.

Log in to Disney’s planning center to reserve babysitting, or you can reserve it on embarkation day on a first come, first served basis.

For more information, visit our cruising with kids page.

How can you save money even AFTER your cruise is booked and paid for?

Imagine if your travel agent called you and said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on your cruise. This morning the cruise line lowered the price of your cabin category by $200 per person, and I was able to refare it to that new lower rate. So, I just wanted to let you know that your balance due is now $400 less! That’s all. Have a nice day.”

Or, “I checked on your cruise status today and there was a free-upgrade offer available, so I can get you moved up from deck 6 to deck 10 if you’d like?” Or an ocean view cabin up to a balcony for free! Things like this happen often and we are happy to help look for opportunities like that for you!

We make phone calls like that on a regular basis because even after our clients book with us, we STILL are on the lookout for ways they can get more and pay less.
