    I have purchased Military Salute tickets for my family and have made park reservations with them. I understand I have to activate them at a ticket booth prior to entering the parks. Can I activate them the day before our first day at the parks?

    Welcome to planDisney, Robert! Let me start by saying a giant THANK YOU for your service to our country. As a military spouse and veteran, I know many of the sacrifices made by U.S. Military Members and their families. It warms my heart to see so many special offers Disney extends to military families as a “salute” to their service. I’m glad you asked about activating your Disney Military Salute Tickets and it is my pleasure to provide you with an answer. 

    My family has used Disney Military Salute Tickets many times over the years, so I am well-versed in activating the military tickets. We usually activate ours the day before we use them for the first time at the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. We stroll around Disney Springs, do a little shopping at World of Disney and Goofy’s Candy Company, eat at one of the fabulous restaurants like Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin', Morimoto Asia, The Polite Pig, or Chickey Guy!, and activate our Salute Tickets while we are there. It always feels like a great way to start our Disney vacation. The next day, we are ready to rope drop the theme parks with our tickets activated and ready to go! 

    Be sure to check out all the other special offers for military families, like savings on select Disney Resort hotel stays, discounted Memory Maker, and even savings on some sailings with Disney Cruise Line. Have an unforgettable time at The Most Magical Place on Earth, Robert! If we can help answer any more of your questions, please bring them to us at planDisney. We are always happy to help you experience the most magical Disney vacation possible. 

    See ya real soon!
