    I’m considering purchasing the military celebrate America passes. I see that the military member has to be present the first day at entry to the park. Does that mean the first day for every use including subsequent trips?

    Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, Tony!

    Welcome to planDisney, we are so happy to hear from you. Like you, I am also very eager to purchase and use the 2026 incredible military offer. The Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket allows you to visit the theme parks throughout 2026. Keep in mind that there are a few blockout dates included with these tickets. Just be sure to check those dates out before finalizing your travel dates. 

    When it comes to using and activating these tickets, the Eligible Service Member must present their valid military ID upon purchasing and activating them. On the day of first use, the Eligible Service Member will also need to enter the theme parks with you. After that first visit, you are free to enter the theme parks with or without them.  Tony, keep in mind that when using these theme park tickets, you will also need to schedule a theme park reservation. So make sure to check out the availability calendar as you plan for your visit.

    I can’t wait to hear all about the fun you will be having over the next year. Take tons of photos and remember to live in the magic! If there’s anything else we can help answer, you know where to find us!

    See ya real soon,
