A question about : Military discount thread (MERGED) Please post all discounts here!

Am looking to go to Florida next year August or September time. Would like to fly into Sanford or Intl. Only want one week doing all the disney and seaworld things but wanted to know where the best place to book everything from as will have military discount as well.

Any ideas appreciated.

• dont know about military discounts, but i booked flights the other week for gatwick>sanford in october at £289pp from https://www.broadwayfloridausa.com/
• My impression with military discounts in travel then you should be advised of companies offering them (I seem to remember some type of military magazine advising which companies offered them). Maybe a quick check with your colleagues might answer the question?
• I think Disney do discount tickets for militiary families. Last time we were there, at Seaworld, they asked who was military, and they all had to stand up and the audience applauded whilst the national anthem played, both the stars and stripes and our national anthem. It was quite moving really.
  If you go on or
  https://www.allearsnet.com/ and
  https://www.disboards.com/index.php
  www.thedibb.co.uk there are miitary threads,certainly on the US one which give details of discounts. May not give you flight discounts though, just ticket and accom details.
• Thats nice poet, can imagine it being quite moving, think mine would be more embarressed than anything lol.
  Thanks for the links, have the discount book so will have to find it and have a look through!
  Shame no companies seem to speciailise in it.
• Marker, all members of UK Armed Forces are entitled to free entry to Sea World, Orlando (and other parks).
  I have used this before and it is quick and easy.
  Managed to get my family of four in for free which is quite a saving! Just remember to take your Military ID card with you on holiday or you will be refused! I believe you will only be entitled to one free entry per annum though.
  See the following link for more information:

• Hi Marker,
  do you know about this website https://www.forcesdiscounts-mod.co.uk/?
  You can also send off for a travel brochure called Forces holidays (I think thats the name of it). The HIVE on your camp will give you the details.
  Happy holidays!
• Seaworld do... https://www.herosalute.com/
  Disney don't.
• Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

• Another website offering discounts to Armed Forces members and families is www.forcesdiscount-mod.co.uk
  The discounts are also available to members of the Army, Air & Sea cadet Forces and their families.
  My daughter has been in the Army Cadets for several years and was advised about this not long after she started.

• Just thought I'd post this link - some of the discounts are pretty good while others aren't so good because cheaper prices can sometimes be found elsewhere, still worth checking out though. MOD civil servants are eligible for discounts too.

• We're looking to go to Florida over Christmas.
  Thomas Cook offer between 5-8% forces discount, but we found the best deals from Virgin Holidays. If you quote 'MOD' I think you can get up to 10%.....
  ..... I'll let you know how we get on when we book ours.
• How do you prove you are entitled?
• yep this is defo a good place to use....i used it just the other day and got 260 quid of a flight by using the code....most excellent
• Guys heres some discounts i've had when i've been out and about shopping etc maybe you can add more
  Dominos half price pizzas when you show your MOD90
  Blacks infact pretty much any outdoor clothes shop has given me 10% discount when i'be shown my MOD90
  Burger king in MOTO motorway services give a good discount again showing MOD90
  BMI flights give a HUGE discount on flights qoute "MODbmicorp" when booking (go to special offers and type in that code)
  i pretty much ask everytime i buy something if they do a forces discount as we're pretty popular at the moment
  i even got a weeks holiday in egypt in a 5 start hotel with blue o two in Hurghada for less than 300 quid that includes daily diving!!! and it was awesome www.blueotwo.com
• my dh is a veteran and i was just wondering our we still entitled to any discounts as he doesnt have a mod90 anymore can you tell me where on the forces website i can download the form and will it work in florida
  thanks in advance
• A lot of people don't know that the motorway services do MOD discounts. Little Chef actually do it also. The staff don't actually know they do it in a lot of places and have to ask - It's painful at times but worth it!
