Hi Jacob!
Thank you so much for your service and the sacrifices you make for our country. We truly appreciate everything you do!
Regarding your question about the
Disney Military Salute Tickets, these special tickets are offered exclusively to military members as a token of appreciation from Disney. They can be purchased by eligible service members or their spouses at participating U.S. military sales outlets.
These tickets are a fantastic way to enjoy the magic of Disney with family and friends. However, they do come with certain restrictions: they may not be transferred, distributed, or resold outside of the initial eligible purchaser and their designated family and friends.
I reached out to a Cast Member today to get some clarity on your situation. Since your friend would not be the original purchaser of the ticket, there is a possibility that they could be turned away when trying to use it. However, you might be able to reassign the ticket to him. If he can verify his military affiliation upon entry, there is a chance that they might allow him in, but the Cast Member said they cannot guarantee that this will work.
I highly recommend
contacting the Walt Disney World Resort's existing ticket line directly. They may be able to assist you further with reassigning the ticket or exploring other options that might be available.
I hope this helps, and I wish you and your family a magical trip to Disney!
