Hi Michelle! Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for your question!
From one military wife to another, thank you for your husband's service! I am excited to hear you want to plan a visit to Walt Disney World Resort with your kiddos. As a Veteran, your husband can purchase
discounted Magic Your Way tickets from the ITT office, which can be used by you and the kids without him present. If your husband purchases the
Florida Resident Select ticket, you need to provide
proof of Florida residence, such as a Florida-issued ID, driver's license, or mortgage statement.
For the military tickets, you need to make theme park reservations before your visit, which you can do in your My Disney Experience mobile app. Once you link your tickets to yourself and Mouseketeers, you can make those reservations. You will also have the option of adding Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus. For a future visit, consider staying at
Shades of Green Resort. This is an AFRC resort on Walt Disney World Resort property, and
Veterans with honorable discharge status qualify to stay here in January and September. Another big perk to staying at this resort is that guests qualify for Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours!
Michelle, thank you again for visiting planDisney. Please visit planDisney in the future if you need additional pixie dust planning for your vacation. You've got a friend in me!
Happy Planning!
Frances
