Many businesses are jumping on the "We support the Military" bandwagon as a PR ploy and not following through; Disney is only one of those. It's our personal choice to spend our money at establishments that support our own values. We have felt Disney hasn't for years.
Not in my experience. Every year I can get a four day park hopper pass for myself and my family for $177 per person that can be used over many months. I can stay at the military hotel Shades of Green on Disney property and get the same extra hours benefit as those in Disney hotels. Or the Salute to the Military specials they have. Doesn't seem like a ploy in my experience.

I, too, am glad to see the selfie sticks banned. I can't count the number of times I've had to duck to avoid someone sudddenly extending a stick to take a picture as I was walking along. I can imagine the problems they could create on a ride, although I haven't encountered that yet.
