Hiya Tyler,
Welcome to planDisney! I am very excited to be assisting you today with your planning question. As the child of veterans, it always makes me happy to know that the
Military Salute tickets exist and Walt Disney World Resort honors Service Men and Women (and their families) in this way. Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to your brother for his service.
First, great job linking your Theme Park tickets to your
My Disney Experience mobile app. This is a great first step toward making plans for your vacation! Now that you have your physical ticket cards, your next step will be activating them at Guest Relations with a valid military ID outside any of the Theme Park entrances. My preferred option is activating my tickets the day before at the
Ticket Center at Disney Springs! It tends to be quicker in my experience, so I can avoid waiting in line at the Theme Parks, and it has the added benefit of letting me get a bit of early shopping in.
I hope this was helpful, Tyler! Before I let you go, if you do stop by Disney Springs to activate your tickets, don’t forget to stop by
Gideon’s Bakehouse. There is a reason they are so popular; they are delicious!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
