Hiya, Chiwei!
As an out-of-state visitor to the Disneyland Resort, I do envy those fortunate enough to qualify for the Southern California Resident Ticket
special offer. Though, I suppose I might be tempted to go so often that I would practically live at the Disneyland Resort. Wait! Would that qualify me for the SoCal resident offer? Hmm…
To keep me from spending too much time at The Happiest Place on Earth and to ensure that the great
Southern California Resident Ticket deal only goes to those who are eligible, each adult using these tickets must present a valid, government-issued photo ID that shows their current Southern California address. Unfortunately, military orders and military ID cards are not valid for demonstrating eligible residency.
Although that may not be the answer you were hoping for, I may have another idea you may consider for your husband. The
2025 3-Day Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket is only a few dollars more than the 2025 SoCal special offer when the
Park Hopper option is included. These special Military Salute tickets may be purchased at many
participating US Military installations. They are also available to purchase from the GOVX website when logged in with an eligible account. A big advantage of the current promotional tickets for US Military Members is that their expiration date isn’t until December 27, 2025. That extra time can really help extend the magic this year.
Chiwei, I’m very grateful to you and your husband for your service. I wish you well and I hope you have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort.
