Greetings, Delana!
Thanks for visiting us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question and an extra special thank you for your service to our country.
The specially priced tickets for U.S. military and their families are one of the best discounts you will find at the Disneyland Resort. My family has been so grateful for these
3-Day and 4-Day Park Hopper Tickets that can be used at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. You can purchase these tickets at your local military base ticket office. These are different tickets than regular park tickets purchased through the Disneyland Resort. Military tickets have certain blockout dates and their own expiration date for their promotional period. Regular park tickets have to be used within 13 days of activation and have no blockout dates.
If you have already purchased regular park tickets but realized you qualify for the military tickets, you can upgrade to the military ticket at the ticket windows outside the park entrances as long as the military ticket is higher value than your current ticket. Since current
park tickets purchased from the Disneyland Resort do not expire until January 13, 2020, you may also choose to save your tickets to use at a later date and purchase the current 2018 military promotional tickets which expire December 19, 2018 instead. Since military promotional tickets are only announced one year at a time and not guaranteed for the following years, it is best to take advantage of this offer while it is present.
Keep in mind that when using these special tickets you must present your active military ID at the entry gate with your entire party upon ticket activation.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any further questions. Have a magical day!
