Hiya Parys,
Welcome back to planDisney! We are honored to continue to be a pit stop for you along your planning journey.
What a great question! As you know,
Military Salute and
Magic Your Way tickets must be activated before they can be used. I spoke to a Cast Member, who confirmed that to activate your tickets, the service member sponsor (or spouse) must be present to show their valid and active US Military IDs. You are unable to use a printout or picture of their military ID.
Before I let you go, I highly suggest double-checking where the tickets were purchased from. If your military sponsor purchased the tickets through Shades of Green, the tickets may have already been activated! If not, your military sponsor can activate the tickets at any ticket counter at the theme parks or at
Guest Services at Disney Springs. My favorite place to activate tickets is Disney Springs because I love grabbing lunch (or a cookie from
Gideon’s Bakehouse) after activating my tickets.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
