Disney Announces 2026 Military Discounts and New “Celebrates America” Annual Pass
In honor of Veterans Day, Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line have announced new discounts for U.S. military service members (active duty and retired) and their families for 2026. While many of these offers will feel familiar from previous years, Disney also revealed something new: the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, a deeply discounted annual pass. The ticket is part of “Disney Celebrates America”, the company’s upcoming tribute to the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Here’s Disney’s announcement:
“As we commemorate Veterans Day, we’re proud to honor the extraordinary men and women who serve our nation with dedication and courage. At Disney, we believe in making magical memories with loved ones, and we’re thrilled to announce new ways for U.S. military service members, retired veterans, and their families to experience the wonder of Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line in 2026.”
Walt Disney World military ticket offers
Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket
The Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket is an eye-catching new offer. Available to service members and their families for $499 per person plus tax, it’s the military equivalent of an Annual Pass. The pass most closely aligns with Walt Disney World’s Sorcerer Pass but costs about $600 less. Yes, it does include additional blockout dates in the spring, but those are easily offset by the significant savings.
Disney Military Salute Tickets are also returning in 2026, with slight increases over this year’s prices. Honestly, they’re starting to crowd the value of the new Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket. So if you think you’ll visit more than once, the annual pass is probably the better deal.
