Hi Kelly, and welcome to planDisney. Thanks for bringing your question to us today, and an even bigger thank you for your service or the service of the family member who will be purchasing the
Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Tickets. These offers are truly special, and I’m always grateful for the chance to help a military family navigate the details.
I reached out to a Cast Member to confirm the specifics, and it’s exactly as I expected. The Eligible Service Member, or their spouse, will need to present valid military identification only on the first use of the tickets. Once that initial verification is complete, the Service Member does not need to be present for the remaining days on the ticket. After that first visit, the rest of your party is free to enjoy the parks with no additional ID checks tied to the Military Salute Tickets.
I hope this clears things up, Kelly. If you’d like any help planning the rest of your visit, whether it’s choosing
dining options, figuring out a smooth
Lightning Lane strategy, or mapping out which parks to hit first, feel free to send another question my way.
I’d be glad to help.
Brent
