Hiya Madeline,
Welcome to planDisney! First, let me say thank you so much for your service. As the child of a retired United States Air Force Colonel, I am always grateful for all our servicemen and women do for us at home and abroad.
Madeline, at this time, the only special offer available specifically for Military Servicemen and women and their spouses is the
Disney Military Salute Tickets. As you noted in your question, the Disney Military Salute Tickets do require that the Service Member be present to purchase and activate the Disney Military Salute Ticket. Additionally, according to the ticket guidelines, one of the tickets (up to six total may be purchased) must be used by the eligible service member or their spouse.
I hope this was helpful, Madeline. If you need additional details about the Disney Military Salute Tickets, please come back and see
us. Before I let you go, one of the many reasons I love Walt Disney World Resort is that it celebrates the Armed Forces. Each day, they do a
Flag Retreat ceremony at Magic Kingdom Park. Not many people take the time to observe it, but it is always a stunning reminder of patriotism and a tribute to those who have or are currently serving. I always add it to my itinerary when I visit, and I hope you will check it out.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
