Hi there, LaShaun!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. It sounds like you just received the best Christmas present ever! The gift of a Disneyland Resort vacation is definitely the one that keeps on giving as you experience so many magical moments at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.
Once you purchase military tickets from your local base ticket office, you will not need to stop at the Main Entrance ticket booths upon arrival. You can head straight to the park gates with your ticket voucher. At the gate you will be asked to show military ID, be given a paper ticket, and you will have your photo taken and linked electronically to your ticket. These tickets are just as easy to use as standard Disneyland Resort tickets.
During your visit you won't want to miss the exciting enhancements over in
Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park. You can have your thrills on the Incredicoaster, take in some breathtaking views on Pixar Pal-A-Round, and enjoy delicious cuisine over in Lamplight Lounge. For some rest and relaxation as you refuel, you'll also want to experience Disneyland Park's brand new Tropical Hideaway. This jungle oasis features brand new flavors of the iconic Dole Whip snack as well as other tasty creations and a stunning atmosphere.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions. Have a magical day!
