Exclusions and Debunked Loopholes for Canadian Military & Veterans
Disney Military Discount
Disney military discounts are for US service members and their families. Shades of Green and entrance ticket discounts are available for Foreign Military Members that are stationed to US military bases – they will be given a CAC card that authorizes them to receive these heavy discounts.
Once upon a time, there was a loophole where Foreign Members were allowed to enter American bases and purchase these discounted tickets from the base directly.
This was quickly changed and ticket purchases have become voucher purchases, where the member is required to provide Proof of Service inside the US at Disney Guest Services before exchanging the vouchers for tickets allowing access to the parks.
No CAC card, no discounted entrance, and those vouchers are non-refundable.
Free Entrance for SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens
Again, back in the day, a military member was a military member, regardless of nationality. As long as they were part of a NATO country, these businesses would pass on discounts. In the last few years, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens have changed online provider and now require proof of membership in order to secure free entrance tickets.
