Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Rachel. Thanks for swinging by to ask this question. I'm so excited to hear that you will be visiting the Disneyland Resort later this year. I'm honored to be a small part of your planning. Now let's get to your question.
First, thank you to you and your family member or friend for their service and sacrifice. I'm so glad to hear that you would like to take advantage of the
promotional military tickets for US military personnel. It looks like former panelist extraordinaire,
Carrie, recently shared that the Eligible Service Member does not need to be present to use these tickets. To be extra sure, I called the phone line for Tickets and spoke with a Cast Member who recommended reaching out to the base where the tickets will be purchased to double-check on any rules and requirements. Valid military identification is required to purchase these tickets and they can only be purchased by
Eligible Service Members (or their spouse) at participating
US military ticket offices.
Once you have your theme park tickets, be sure to make a
theme park reservation for your visit. Once that's all set, you're ready to think about all the fun stuff. It looks like you'll arrive shortly after
Soarin' Across America makes its debut in Disney California Adventure Park. I'm so excited and ready to adventure on a new flight path across the nation. You'll also get to enjoy all of the festivities of the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration. There are
themed celebration eats and treats and
new shows to enjoy. A returning favorite of mine is the
Paint the Night Parade - this is a must-see parade that will have you dancing along to the music. If you haven't already, make sure to download the
Disneyland app before your visit for all the details.
Rachel, I hope this has been helpful and gives you your next planning step. Most of all, I hope this gets you pumped for your upcoming visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. If there's anything else that we can help you with, please come back to visit. Until then, I'm sending all the pixie dust your way as you continue to plan for your magical visit.
Michelle
