Hi Chief!
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sending this question my way! I’m happy to help!
First and foremost, thank you for your service! And how exciting to be able to see your child marching through the Magic Kingdom. Something tells me a core memory will be made and LOTS of photos will be taken!
I dove into the details of the
Military Salute tickets, and unfortunately, I’m seeing that those tickets have blockout dates from November 23-29, 2025.
Another option to consider is the
Magic Your Way tickets, which also offer a discount and don’t have blockout dates during your trip. You can purchase those tickets at your local base or on the Shades of Green Resort website (even if you don’t plan to stay at that resort).
It’s good to note that, with these ticket types, you will need to
make theme park reservations. Once you purchase your tickets and link them to your My Disney Experience account, I recommend making park reservations as soon as possible for Magic Kingdom on November 28. That way, you ensure entry into the park, so you don’t miss the big moment!
When the day comes, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get into the park and stake out your spot along the parade route. While the holidays are an absolute magical time of year to visit, they can bring some crowds along with them! So, I always like to play it safe and give myself some extra time to get around the parks.
As you continue to plan, feel free to send any other questions our way!
