Hi Scott,
First, thank you for stopping by
planDisney. I know you must be so busy gathering your swim trunks, sunscreen, and sunglasses for your big trip to the Florida sunshine next week. We are so glad you joined us with your question!
If I am understanding correctly, you are wondering if your wife's Digital Veteran ID card from the Department of Veterans Affairs is the appropriate US Military ID that will provide you access to the
Disney Military Salute theme park tickets. Unfortunately, Scott, I don't think so. Your wife, or you as a spouse, would also need to show an active or retired US Military ID.
Specially priced Walt Disney World Resort hotel stays and Disney theme park tickets are available to "Eligible Service Members." For 2024, those are:
"Active or retired members of the US Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, the US Coast Guard, the US Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Spouses of Military Service Members also qualify if they are able to present valid and active US Military IDs in the absence of active or retired Military Personnel or Commissioned Corps Members."
I know many of our nation's heroes have served admirably and bravely for a period shorter than full retirement. For that, I personally am eternally grateful for your sacrifice and courage. Unfortunately, that is just outside of the requirement for eligibility for the special pricing on your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
Of course, if I have misunderstood your question and your wife also has either an Active Duty or Retired US Military ID, that would be great! She could purchase her Disney Military Salute theme park tickets at any eligible US Military sales outlet (normally the closest Base or Post) and then activate them at
Guest Relations upon arrival. You may also order activated Disney Military Salute theme park tickets through Shades of Green, but that will require time to ship them as well. Your vacation countdown clock is ticking!
I hope that is helpful, Scott. Please let us know if you have any other questions this week! We would love to partner with you for your unforgettable Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
