Hi Sally! Thank you for visiting planDisney with another question!
From all of us at planDisney, thank you for your friend's service! The
Disney Military Salute ticket does require
Theme Park Reservations before entering the parks. She can link her tickets to her My Disney Experience mobile app, and once it's uploaded, she can make her reservations. She does have to scan into the park she makes the reservation for first before park hopping to another theme park later in the day.
As a Salute ticket holder, she also qualifies for the military discount for
Memory Maker! If you want to keep all the digital pictures you take during your visit, including the ones on select attractions, character meets, and photos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers, your friend can purchase them when she activates her tickets! My family takes advantage of this discount on each visit.
Sally, I hope all of this information was helpful! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Send me questions at any time if you need additional pixie dust planning for your visit. You've got a friend in me!
Magic Awaits!
Frances
