Military Retiree Discount (Active and Reserve/NG)

[sadiecatie]

I am the military spouse and often travel without DH and have no problem showing my military dependent ID at WDW or on DCL.

Correct - the special rate applies to both the service member/gov employee or their spouse (they don't have to sail together). You'd just bring your dependent ID for check-in (they will verify that you qualify for the special rate at that point - as far as I know, if you can't provide the appropriate ID, you'd be charged the full rate at that point). (I'm also a spouse, and haven't travelled without my husband but I do all the vacation planning so I'm familiar with the policies )

I do think it sucks that honorably discharged veterans are not afforded the Military rates. I was not given a choice on whether I could retire or not when I was forced out with 13 years of service due to the military drawdown. That said all the other cruise lines that I sail on happily take my DD214 and provide discounts....I just don't count on Disney for the same opportunity
