If you’re planning a trip to California, don’t miss these military discounts on accommodations, attractions, and events throughout the Golden State.

ORANGE COUNTY

The four-star, family-friendly Anaheim Marriott is walking distance to Disneyland and Downtown Disney (and a short drive to many other attractions.) You’ll save about 8 percent with the Government Leisure Rate. Use rate code GX7 when booking online, or call (714) 750-8000.

If you’re heading to Disneyland, be sure to check out the specially priced Military 3- and 4-day Park Hopper tickets for active duty or retired military members. Find more details.

Wondering where to stay while visiting the Magic Kingdom? Military members get special rates at Disneyland Resort Hotels. Find more details, or call (714) 956-6425.

In nearby Buena Park, military members can get hotel upgrades, free or reduced admission on attractions and shows, and even discounts on restaurants, rental cars, museums. The town is home to Knott’s Berry Farm and is just five miles from Disneyland. Learn more, and get a complete list of available discounts.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Who needs theme parks, when you’ve got nature’s grandeur? At Coffee Creek Ranch, the only rides are on horseback. With private cabins, all-inclusive pricing, and activities for every age and ability, Coffee Creek Ranch makes for an unforgettably outdoorsy “dude ranch” vacation. The 367-acre guest ranch is located in the Trinity Alps wilderness — a great place to "unwind, unplug, and relax to get away from it all,” says owner Ruth Hartman. Active duty military members get a year-round 25-percent discount on posted rates, and the discount extends to spouses and children. Veterans get a 25-percent discount during Memorial Day week and weekend. Call (800) 624-4480. (If you book online, you’ll still need to call to get the discount.)

The Mount View Hotel & Spa in Napa Valley has a spa, three on-site eateries, and luxury suites and cottages with Art Deco interiors. The boutique hotel offers a year-round 30-percent discount to both active duty military members and veterans. Even better, the hotel also donates 50 percent of its profits to local and world charities supporting children, health, and the environment. Call (707) 942-6877.

Deals are available as of April 22, 2019, and may be subject to change.
