Hi there Patrick, thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question! We're here to help!
I have good news, you and your friend should be able to take advantage of the
Disney Military Promotional Tickets. It's such a great option and such a nice thank you for those who serve our country. Eligible military members are able to purchase up to 6 tickets, and as long as your friend is present and uses one of the tickets at the gates, you can join them! They will need to bring their military ID to show proof of eligibility, and you will also need to make a corresponding
theme park reservation for entry into the parks. You can reference the
theme park reservation availability calendar to double check that your desired dates have availability.
During your visit Patrick, I highly recommend checking out the wonderful Flag Retreat ceremony that takes place at
Disneyland Park each day in the afternoon. Guests and Cast Members will pause to honor those that have served, and you can check the
Entertainment Schedule under "Atmosphere Entertainment" to find the time it will take place each day.
I hope you and your friend are able to visit the "Happiest Place on Earth" soon!
Halloween Time is upon us at the Disneyland Resort, I'm wishing you a spooktacular time!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
