    If I (a Navy Reservist) buy the military yearly passes for my family, do I need to be there every trip? Some trips they wanna go on I might have a reservist training weekend or summer training.

    Hi there, Justin!

    Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you stopped by with this question. To start, I want to thank you and your family for your service! It’s great that you are thinking about taking advantage of the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket offer. When my family and I first visited the parks together, we utilized a military promotion at the time. It is what made our trip possible, financially! 

    I have great news! You will not need to be present with your family for every trip after the initial activation of the pass. Following your purchase, you will need to be with your family for the first visit. From there, they are all set to visit again and again. Please keep in mind that they must also have a park reservation to enter a theme park.

    Bonus Tip: Consider purchasing the Memory Maker. It’s an all-inclusive photo package that allows you to download all of the photos (and videos) taken during your visits until your annual pass expires. So even when your family visits on their own, you won’t feel like you missed too much of the action with the amazing photos you all will be able to cherish. Currently, Memory Maker is being offered at a special price through this promotion for US military members. 

    Justin, I can only imagine the memories that you and your family will create this year with this pass! I hope this information was helpful. If you have any additional questions as you plan your upcoming adventures, please feel free to visit us again here at planDisney.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
