Don’t get your Universal Orlando Military Discount Information from Civilians!
Hi I’m Steve Bell and welcome to Universal Orlando for Military!
I have been serving the US Military Community over at Military Disney Tips for the last 14 years! I have had a long association with both the U. S. Military and Disney Theme Parks.
I’ve made multiple day-trips to the Universal Orlando Resort over the years.
Now I’branching out to the Universal Orlando Resort. I’ve stayed at all of their Hotels at least once so far, with about 2 weeks in 2021 on property.
My mission is to offer the best advice that I can for the military community to plan for, save money on, and enjoy their Universal Orlando vacation!

What makes Universal Orlando for Military different than all the other Universal sites?
- I’m Retired Military (31 Years)
- I’m a Retired DoD Civilian
- I‘m now a DoD Contractor
- I use the all the same military discounts that you do
- I’ve done the research for you
A Little History
The Military Disney Tips website always had a few pages outlining Universal Discounts and they have received a lot of interest lately. So I decided to start this site to serve those in the military community who are interested in the Universal Orlando Resort.
Many people are making the switch to Universal, or doing a split stay between the two resorts.
About me…
After high school I enlisted in the Air Force and spent four years on active duty. After four years stationed in Texas some personal issues caused me to get out and relocate to Orlando, FL. Not wanting to end my relationship with the Air Force I switched to the Air Force Reserve. I was a reservist for the remainder of my career in various capacities, some part time but mostly full time.
During the three years I spent in Orlando (85-88) I actually worked full time at Walt Disney World! I ordered food for one of the restaurants in the Magic Kingdom Theme Park (the Tomorrowland Terrace, now called Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe). That was a very interesting and fun time!
In 1989 I left Disney to pursue a great opportunity to fly with the Reserves, which eventually lead to full time Reserve duty in Ohio. All through the nineties my family and I would visit relatives in Florida and we’d always make time for a one-day visit to WDW. With the knowledge I had gained while working there I was very good at making our visits fun, efficient, and memorable.
We’d occasionally hit Universal Studios as well and enjoyed those trips.
I hope that you find this website useful in your planning process!


My goal for this site is to help you!
