Hiya Anthony,
Welcome to
planDisney! First, I would love to take this opportunity to thank you for your service. As the daughter of two Air Force Veterans, I am always honored to help military families navigate
Walt Disney World Resort.
Now on to your great question! The
military-exclusive theme park tickets are a great deal for military families, especially the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket. I’m not sure which of the tickets you are asking about (the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute ticket or Disney Military Salute ticket), but no matter which one you are thinking of, you do not need to purchase all six at the same time currently. You can purchase three now and three later! Just make sure to pay attention to the blockout and expiration dates. So, for example, let’s say you purchase the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, which grants you access as many times as you want. Even if you purchase 3 on January 1st and 3 on March 1st, all 6 will still expire on December 18th, 2026.
I hope this was helpful, Anthony. One final thing I want to make sure to remind you of –activation. Each time you purchase a theme park ticket, the military sponsor (or their spouse) must be present at the theme park to activate the ticket and show their military ID for it to work. They must also scan into the theme parks for the first use; after the first use, the military sponsor will no longer need to be present. So make sure that if you don’t purchase all 6 tickets at the same time, you also plan a visit to activate the remaining tickets should you choose to purchase them later. If you need anything else, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
