Welcome to planDisney, Cheryl!
I’m so happy to hear that your family was able to enjoy the Military Salute promotional ticket in 2024. It’s a family favorite for us, so we are eager to use it again in 2025 ourselves. Walt Disney World Resort does an incredible job honoring US Military Members even with the available
Disney Resort offers, so be sure to check those out as well.
When it comes to using the
2025 Military Salute tickets, it will be the same as you experienced in the past. The eligible service member, or their spouse, will be able to purchase a total of 6 Military Salute tickets. The eligible service member, or their spouse, will need to be present on the first day of use with their valid military ID to activate these theme park tickets. After the first day of activation, your party will be good to separate! There was a day over the summer when my husband went on a
Fishing Excursion and I went to Magic Kingdom with our Mouseketeers. Since our tickets had already been activated a few days earlier, we were good to go and my ID wasn’t needed! We just met back up after he was finished.
As you continue to plan for your visit I recommend bringing your family back together for a family-style meal at
Whispering Canyon Cafe. This is what we did, with our additional family members who joined us, and it’s been a core memory ever since! To this day we laugh about all the things our server said over breakfast. If you haven’t dined there, try it! We scheduled this meal as an early breakfast then headed over to Magic Kingdom after we were finished. It worked out nicely being so close to Magic Kingdom especially since we were at a resort further away.
Cheryl, I hope this helps answer your question. And if there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask! Before I go, I would like to end with a huge thank you from my military family to yours. “Thank you!”.
Magical Memories,
Shantel
