Hello there, William!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for your service. It’s great to hear that you want to take advantage of the specially discounted tickets exclusively for eligible military veterans. As a military spouse, I would love to give you more information about how to purchase your tickets.
Unfortunately, not everyone lives close to a military base ticket office. But there are a couple of options for getting a
multi-day Military Salute Ticket or the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket (similar to an annual pass).
First, when you arrive in Florida, you can purchase your tickets at the nearby Shades of Green Resort. This Armed Forces Recreation Center on Disney World property is not far from Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Be sure to have a valid military identification with you. You could also submit a
Ticket Order Form on Shades of Green’s website. They can confirm that you’re eligible and then you would receive emailed tickets.
As you read above, there are both 4-, 5-, and 6-day tickets available and a ticket that grants you access to the theme parks nearly all year. If you plan on visiting Disney World multiple times this year, I recommend getting the Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket. It is valid until December 18, 2026 and has only two blockout periods (March 29-April 11 and November 22-28). My husband is going with this option this year to tap into the magic.
AN EXTRA GEM: With these ticket options, a valid
theme park reservation is required before entering the theme parks. You can
link your tickets and make your reservations online on the Walt Disney World website through your MyDisney account.
I hope that this answer helps you, William. I just know that you’re going to have the
best vacation this week. (And definitely consider visiting the dinner show
Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness; you won’t regret it.) If you have any other Disney vacation planning questions,
revisit us here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
