    If I purchase the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket does it give the same benefits like merchandise discount and parking as an annual pass?

    Hiya David! Welcome BACK to planDisney! It is always great to see our Pals returning with more Disney vacation questions. It is an honor and a privilege that you trust us to provide you with answers. 

    I am so incredibly excited about the new Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket! My husband retired from the U.S. Air Force, so we have made use of the Disney Military Salute Tickets for our family for years. This new military ticket option is a wonderful way to enjoy even more magic at Walt Disney World Resort

    The Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket gives you admission from January 1, 2026, through December 18, 2026, except during the following block out dates: 

    • March 29 through April 11, 2026
    • November 22 through November 28, 2026

    To use a Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, you will need to make an advanced theme park reservation. While this new military ticket gives you nearly a year of magic, sort of like an Annual Pass, it does not include the same special offers and discounts you would receive as an Annual Passholder. As an Eligible Service Member, you can take advantage of special pricing for select stays at Disney Resort hotels. You can also purchase a Memory Maker at a special price from a theme park ticket window. So, while there aren’t the Annual Passholder discounts, you are still privy to some great military discounts at Walt Disney World. 

    I hope this helps you enjoy a year of magic in 2026 with your Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket. You’ve got a friend in us here at planDisney, David! If we can answer more of your Disney vacation questions, please bring them here.
