Hiya, Camille, and welcome to planDisney!
First, I would like to thank your family member for their service! The Disneyland Resort’s
military promotional ticket offers are a great way to make your vacation more affordable. Honestly, these types of offers are my family’s favorite because they make the magic accessible to us. I’ll be happy to help clarify this for you!
These discounted military tickets can be purchased by Eligible Service Members or their spouse at US military sales outlets. It sounds like you’re interested in the 1-Day Park Hopper and 3-Day Military Promotional Park Hopper tickets. Your family member would need to purchase these tickets at
a participating US military base. While they can purchase different ticket types for their party, one of the multi-day Military Promotional Park Hopper tickets must be used by your family member. Therefore, they would need to purchase and use the 3-day park hopper ticket as well, unless they are a Magic Key holder.
Bonus Tip: Theme park reservations are required for entry into the parks. Once your tickets are purchased, make your reservations as soon as possible. You can do this easily within the Disneyland
mobile app. Here’s how:
- Tap the (≡) icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap “My Tickets & Passes.”
- Tap the (+) icon in the top right corner.
- Tap “Link Tickets & Passes” to add each ticket to your account.
- Go back to the main menu. (You can either use the camera to scan your ticket’s barcode or type in the ticket ID.)
- Scroll down to the Plan My Next Visit section, then tap “Park Reservations.”
- Tap “Make or Modify Park Reservations.”
From here, you will log into your MyDisney account and follow the additional steps within the theme park reservation system. After you tap “Confirm,” you should be all set!
Camille, I hope this information is helpful and that you all have the most magical time during your upcoming vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth. Feel free to stop by and see us again if you have any additional planning questions!
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
