    I am grandpa and are planning to take the family to Disneyland on Jan 1, 2025, 2 & 3. We have 2 in the Coast Guard and Army plus one government entity. There are a total of 16. How do we buy tickets & make reservations now at the best price?

    Hi there, Don!

    Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for your family's service to our country. It sounds like you are planning a special trip to Disneyland Resort. So exciting! 

    Eligible United States military members (and their spouses) can access specially-priced theme park tickets and promotional rates at Disneyland Resort hotels. Currently, a 3-day or 4-day Disney Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket is available on most days through December 13, 2024. It is a great deal! Information has not been released yet for 2025, and keep in mind that many promotional tickets are not valid during the holidays. For example, availability for the 2024 Disney Miltary Promotional Park Hopper Ticket began on January 2, 2024, so tickets were unavailable for use on New Year's Day. I suggest keeping an eye on the Offers & Discount page for updates on these tickets for 2025. 

    At this time, active and retired military members can purchase up to six theme park tickets (including one for themself) if they served in one of the U.S. military branches. This includes the National Guard, Reservists, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Military tickets are available for purchase at participating U.S. military base ticket offices. My planDisney friend Carrie mentioned that L.A. Air Force Base, March Air Reserve Base, and Camp Pendleton are the closest bases to Disneyland Resort.

    Promotional rates at the Disneyland Resort hotels are currently available for eligible military members on select nights through December 13, 2024. Military rates for both theme park tickets and hotel rooms are typically released in the fall for the following year. I am hopeful that both will be released soon! 

    Did you know the holidays at Disneyland Resort begin on November 15, 2024, and continue through January 6, 2025? It is my most favorite time of year to visit the theme parks! There are seasonal treats, A Christmas Fantasy Parade, and festive overlays on some of my favorite attractions, like Haunted Mansion Holiday and "it's a small world" Holiday. You will love it!

    Don, thank you again for contacting planDisney. Please reach out to us again if you have other questions!

    Magic Happens!
