Hi there, Geoffrey! Welcome to planDisney.
My military family is so grateful for the fantastic
Military Promotional Theme Park Ticket offer at the Walt Disney World Resort. We are planning some much-needed together time in just a few weeks when my husband returns from his deployment, and we cannot wait for our family vacation. I know you feel just the same way about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World!
I’m happy to confirm that you will be able to activate your Military Salute exchange certificates at the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. In fact, you’re doing exactly what I would suggest for your arrival day – stop at Disney Springs, activate your tickets, and grab
a bite to eat or some delicious treats. That way, you are all set to head right into the magic on your first theme park day.
To activate your tickets, you will need your military ID, the exchange certificates, and every member of your party who will be using one of the military tickets. If you’ll be using
MagicBands, each person with a military ticket should bring those too. The Cast Member will activate each ticket and ensure it’s properly linked to each Guest’s
My Disney Experience profile and MagicBand. It’s a quick “bibbidi bobbidi boo” to get you all set.
Geoffrey, if you are planning to purchase military-discounted
Memory Maker, you should be able to do that there too. I think it’s a great deal, giving you a special rate to access all your Disney PhotoPass photos, including those you pose for throughout the theme parks as well as attraction photos. This also includes my favorite feature: Magic Shots! Take a photo with a PhotoPass photographer and ask if any Magic Shots are available – then, look for pixie dust in the photos (in the form of characters and other surprises) when the photos pop up in your My Disney Experience account. So much fun!
Have the BEST time at the Walt Disney World Resort! If you think of any further questions as you count down the days, please come back and see us. It’s always a pleasure to help a fellow military family with their Disney dreaming.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
