Hi there Jennifer!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'd first like to thank your nephew for his military service. We are so grateful for the commitment by Disney to recognize U.S. military service members in the form of very generous military discounts on park tickets, Disneyland Resort Hotel rooms, and Disney PhotoPass packages.
By far the most generous offer is the military promotion for
3-Day and 4-Day Park Hopper Tickets for military service members and their families which can be purchased at your nephew's base. There are also discounts available on standard tickets, including 1-Day Park Hopper Tickets, at the military base as well. These are usually offered at a 5%-8% discount from the regular ticket price. We have found that even if you only visit for two days, it is still less expensive to buy the 3-Day military ticket than a standard 2-Day ticket at the base price.
The
SoCal Resident ticket offer is only available to residents of certain Southern California zip codes, and there is not an additional military discount offered on this promotion. You will find that the military offer for 3-Day and 4-Day Tickets is still more generous.
When you visit with your nephew, I highly suggest you take some time out of your day at 5:00 PM in Disneyland Park to watch and participate in the Flag Retreat Ceremony. This patriotic Disneyland tradition honors those brave men and women, such as your nephew, that protect our country. You can see this happen every day at the flagpole in Town Square.
I hope you have a wonderful trip at the Happiest Place on Earth. Have a magical day!
-Jennifer
