Hiya Scott,
Welcome back to planDisney! First, thank you for your service from my military family to yours. I am honored to answer your question today and get you on your way to a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Second, great question! As long as your
Military Salute Ticket or
Magic Your Way Ticket is
linked to your My Disney Experience account (and so is your
MagicBand), you will have access to your Theme Park tickets on your MagicBand. This is true whether you purchase your tickets at a military installation, at
Shades of Green, or directly from Walt Disney World Resort. As soon as you purchase your ticket, log onto your My Disney Experience account, go to “My Plans,” select the ticket icon (it has Mickey Mouse ears on it), and choose “Link Tickets” from the options presented. Enter your ID number from your tickets, and that’s it! Again, make sure that your desired MagicBand is also linked to your account, and you will be ready to go.
I hope this was helpful, Scott. Before I let you go, don’t forget that if you purchase Disney Military Salute Tickets or Magic Your Way Tickets from Shades of Green, you will not need to activate them (though you will still need to link them in My Disney Experience). This will save you a lot of time during your visit to Theme Parks! Please come back and see us if you need anything else!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
