Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Savannah. I'm so excited to see you'll be arriving at the Walt Disney World Resort in just two, short days! There's no place I'd rather be, that's for sure.
The Walt Disney World Resort is committed to recognizing the sacrifices of military families. My fellow planDisney panelists and I certainly appreciate your family's service! Not knowing the exact details about your military family, the answer to your question can be a bit tricky. Assuming your surviving parent has not remarried,
they are considered to be the dependent eligible for discounted
Disney Military Salute Tickets in this instance. If that's the case, your surviving parent would need to be present to purchase and activate the tickets for the family with their military ID, and they'd also need to plan on traveling with you during your stay. I encourage you to read the Important Details section on the
Offer Details page. There you'll find specific eligibility requirements for this special offer. Another great resource is
Shades of Green, a resort for military personnel. The staff there should be able to better answer your question with some more specific information about your family! You can reach Shades of Green by calling (407) 824-1403.
It's important to note that Guests need Theme Park Reservations in addition to valid admission for entry into the theme parks. Once you have your tickets, you'll want to be sure to make your
Theme Park Reservations via the Disney Park Pass System right away. Before you know it, you'll be enjoying lots of pixie-dusted adventures!
I hope this was helpful, Savannah. I'm wishing you a magical and merry visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort this holiday season!
