Welcome BACK to planDisney, Ellen! I am so happy to see you here asking another Disney vacation question. You trust us to provide you with answers, which is something we don’t take lightly. I am honored to offer you an answer about activating
Disney Military Salute Tickets.
As a military spouse, I love the special offers Disney extends as a salute to our U.S. Military Members and their families. My favorite of these offers is the specially priced
Disney Military Salute Tickets. These tickets can be purchased from your local base ticket office or
Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort. As you mentioned, before Military Salute tickets can be used to tap into the theme parks, they must first be activated by the military member or their spouse at a theme park ticket window or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. Each person using one of the military salute tickets must be present when the tickets are activated.
I prefer to activate our Military Salute tickets the day before we use them at the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs so that we are ready to rope drop and tap into the parks the following morning. With so many great restaurants,
Disney Springs is a great place to enjoy a meal. There are places to grab a quick and casual bite, like
The Polite Pig or
Chicken Guy! or unique dining experiences like
Morimoto Asia and
Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant. We usually make an evening of it, with dinner, some strolling, and maybe a quick stop at
Goofy’s Candy Company.
Be sure to check out the other military offers, like the
savings on select Disney Resort hotel stays in 2025, special pricing on
Memory Maker, a Disney PhotoPass Service, and
discounts on select sailings on Disney Cruise Line. I hope this information helps, Ellen. You’ve got a friend in me, in all of us here at
planDisney, so please stop back by any time we can help you with your Disney vacation planning. We love to answer your questions and offer tips and recommendations.
See ya real soon!
