    Long story short my father passed away and it was deemed in the line of service, making me a gold star child and my mother a widow. Do we qualify for the military discounts and promotions? We do not have military ID other than my father's. thank you.

    Hi there, Ebb, and welcome to planDisney! First and foremost, I want to express my deepest sympathies for the loss of your father. I think I speak for everyone here at planDisney when I say thank you for his service and for that of your entire family. 

    Ebb, I'm thrilled to hear that you're just a few months away from your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Walt Disney World is the perfect place to honor your cherished memories and to make some new ones, too. I hope that your stay is full of magic, pixie dust, and all the good vibes!

    Of course, I want to make sure you get the best deal on your upcoming stay, so I looked at Disney World's current military promotions, including this special offer on tickets and this discount on rooms. However, the eligibility requirements for these offers state that you must be able to provide an active and valid U.S. Military ID. Just to be sure, I spoke with a friendly representative over at Shades of Green, who confirmed that Disney World's military promotions do require this documentation. 

    Ebb, I know this isn't the answer you were hoping to hear, but the good news is that you may be eligible for one of Disney World's other Special Offers, which you can explore right here. If you're a Disney+ subscriber, be sure to check out the Spring Ticket Offer for Disney+ Subscribers with Disney+ Perks. And if you're traveling with little ones, don't sleep on the Free Dining Plan for Kids in 2026 promotion! Both of these promotions are valid for your arrival date and can save you a considerable amount of cash.

    I hope this information is helpful, Ebb, and again, I thank you and your family for your service. If you have any other planning questions, you know where to find us right here at planDisney!

    Magic and memories,

    Allison
