The Best Way for Military Families to Book a Discounted Disney Stay? It’s Not a Hotel.

If you’re planning a Disney vacation with your family and looking for a military discount, chances are you’ve come across Shades of Green, Armed Forces Vacation Club, or other hotel deals that sound great — on paper.

But here’s the thing no one tells you:

Booking a hotel might save you a few bucks, but it probably won’t save your sanity.

If you’ve ever crammed into a small hotel room with tired kids, gear, groceries, and no space to stretch out — you know exactly what we mean.

That’s where Crewdogs comes in. We’re a new kind of travel platform built specifically for the military community, and we’re redefining what a “military discount” should actually feel like.

Why Military Families Are Skipping Hotels Near Disney

A hotel room in Shades of Green gets you four walls and a coffee maker. Maybe a cot if you’re lucky. But for military families — many of whom are traveling with kids, grandparents, or even pets — a single room just doesn’t cut it.

Crewdogs offers full vacation homes just minutes from Disney World. That means:

• Multiple bedrooms (no tiptoeing around after bedtime)
• Full kitchens (save hundreds on eating out)
• Living rooms, backyards, and even private pools
• A place to actually relax after the parks

And yes — all with a built-in military discount.

So What Is Crewdogs?

Crewdogs is a booking platform built by veterans, for veterans — and for anyone affiliated with the U.S. military. That includes:

• Active duty service members
• Veterans
• Guard and Reserve
• Retirees
• Military spouses, dependents, and surviving family

We work just like Airbnb, except better for the military community. Our mission is to help you travel affordably, comfortably, and confidently — all while giving back to the community you’ve served.

Verified Trust. Real Discounts. No Games.

Let’s be honest:

Some websites throw around the phrase “military discount” like it’s marketing fluff. At Crewdogs, it’s built into our DNA.

Here’s what makes us different:

• We verify every user with ID.me — Every guest and every host on Crewdogs is verified through ID.me or official military email. This creates a safe, respectful space where you know exactly who you’re working with — no guessing, no scams, and no drama.
• We offer real, built-in military discounts — Unlike other sites where you have to ask for a discount and hope for the best, every listing on Crewdogs includes a discount right from the start. No promo codes. No awkward emails. Just savings — automatically.
• We support military foundations with every stay — A portion of each booking goes directly to a veteran-supporting nonprofit of the host’s choice — like Folds of Honor, Stop Soldier Suicide, Gary Sinise Foundation, and others. So when you book a stay, you’re also giving back.
