It was all started by a mouse

Walt Disney World is a huge corporation or a conglomerate actually.  They have theme parks in Orlando,Fl, Anaheim,CA as well as Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo.  They own other entities such as ESPN, Touchstone Pictures, and Pixar just to name a few.  Walt Disney is a brand name now and his family has no involvement with or influence over, the company.  I am sure Walt Disney the man, would be very upset to see the cost of tickets, the shameless expensive merchandising, and the astronomical food prices but the one thing that sums up the spirit of him is our military discounts.  Currently if you are active or retired military you are eligible for a 5 Day Water Park Fun N More Pass for free.  You can also get up to to 5 similar passes for your family at a deeply discounted rate.  These passes enable you to have 5 days unlimited access to all the parks as well as the ability to hop between the parks and you are also given 5 fun days as well which mean you have access to the water parks like blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon, as well as the golf course and downtown disney.  In all you have 10 days at Disney that for military is for free and for their family or friends is relatively inexpensive and you have until the end of the year to use up all your complimentary days so they don't have to be used consecutively.  I think the discount is in the spirit of what Walt Disney is all about.  He wanted this to be a place where the average family could come and spend a great time together, and while that may not be true for the average blue collar family anymore, at least it is true for our servicemen and women, who in my estimation cannot be appreciated enough.
