    Hi my mother was looking to purchase tickets for me and my family using her military discount. Is she required to be with us when we go to the park? Or is she allowed to just buy them as a gift

    Hiya, Kasara! Thanks for stopping by planDisney.

    As the mom and sister-in-law of military members, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your mom's service. We appreciate her and you and all of your sacrifices for our country.

    With her military discount, your mom can purchase up to six discounted tickets, including one for herself, at participating US Military sales outlets. But, she has to be part of the party going to the parks. She has to purchase them in person and make sure she brings her military ID with her. Unfortunately, if other ticket promos are going on, she must choose between that and her military discount. Scrooge McDuck doesn't let the military benefits combine with other discount offers.

    If y'all plan to stay at a resort hotel (which I highly recommend!), you can call Disney reservations to book and receive a military discount. You are limited to two rooms per booking for the discount, and your mom has to stay in one of the rooms. Make sure she brings her military ID for check-in; otherwise, you will be charged the regular room rate.

    Kasara, you are visiting during one of the best times of the year! The parks are decked out in their haunting finest, and eerie enchantment is around every corner. Make sure to go on a pumpkin hunt (there are hundreds along Main Street) and swing by Haunted Mansion Holiday - this is literally her time of year to SHINE! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to return. I wish you a magical visit!
