Military Disney Tips' Recommended Disney Travel Agent
Ears of Experience Disney Only Travel Agency. Military family owned and operated! They know all the ins and outs of Disney military discounts! |
Ahhhhhh this i great news!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! But, can we only buy up to 6 tickets for 2021 and 2022? Not 6 in 2021 and 6 in 2022?
That seems to be the case Katie.
Time will tell if they modify, based on attendance…
Thank you for replying (though that is not the answer I was hoping for lol)! Another question, do we know if the rule applies that days don’t have to be consecutive and can be used until expiration? For example, can I buy 4 days and go 2 in December 2021 and 2 in October 2022?
I know Katie, me too!
Yes Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets may be used throughout the entire offer period.
Sorry, another question! Can I buy three 3 day tickets and three 4 day tickets or do they all have to be the same number of days?
Yes you can.
Technically the member or spouse needs to have one of the longer ones.
Thank you so much for the update! We were hoping to visit in early 2022. Do you think they will still offer discounted rooms in September, or would they have done that at the same time as the tickets if they were going to? We are bringing our family of five plus a grandparent so we’ll need to book two rooms and are looking to save anywhere we can. 🙂
Hi Bree,
I imaging they will come out subsequently with a 2022 room offer. I hope on the normal schedule!
By doing this year and a half ticket offer with only 6 tickets they are in totally new territory.
What does the block out dates mean? As in you can’t go to the park those days?
That’s correct Monica.
The tickets are blocked from use those days.
The ticket offer only refers to the Disneyland Resorts in California. Will the Salute tickets be valid for Disney World in Florida as well?
Hi Katherine,
This is the brand new Disneyland offer. The 2021 WDW one has been out for months.
See: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/the-disney-armed-forces-salute-military-ticket-and-room-discounts/
Hi Steve, thank you for posting about the new Military Salute deal. Your posts have helped my family and I tremendously over the past several years, as well as cost us lots of money with all of our Disney vacations (to both World and Land)! I look forward to your continued posts, thank you again.
Hey there Rob,
Thanks so much!!!
THat’s just why I do this. Besides having to go all the time 😉
Must all the days be used within 14 days of first use, as with previous tickets?
Hi Nina,
No. all days on Disney Armed Forces Salute TIckets must be used by the end of the offer period. They do not need to be used consecutively, or on one trip.
Must you have a covid test to get into the park?
No
Hi, I am 100% disabled veteran – Am I eligible to purchase these tickets?
Thank you
Julie
Hi Julie,
Are you 100% DAVPRM or DAVTMP?
Only 100% Permanent are, with the military ID that has DAVPRM on it.
Otherwise see:

First thank you Steve for ALL the info as usual. I always the military tickets and WDW resorts. Been to WDW 6 times in the past 10 years and stay 10 days. I live in California. A question though, I am going to DL this coming Nov and next october WDW( last trip to WDW Otober 2019). In the past it was 6 tickets for each park , 6 DL and 6 WDW, Since different years it will then be 6 each year. Thank you again, I am Steve also
Hey Steve,
Thanks so much!
The WDW and Disneyland Resort (DLR) Salute Offers are totally separate. Tickets used at one location do not affect the other locations allotment.
Also, ticket allotments are by offer, not year. So right now the DLR runs Jul 2021 to Dec 2022 and has a 6 ticket limit. The WDW is running now through Dec 2021 with a 6 ticket limit (with some oddities). If a 2022 WDW offer is made it would run Jan to Dec 2022 I expect.
So Nov 2021 at DLR you would use up to 6 2021-2022 tickets and in Oct 2022 at WDW up to the limit offered there for 2022.
Hi Steve
Will we be able to upgrade the tickets we purchased in 2019 to the cost of the 2022 tickets if we are not able to use them in 2021?
Your newsletter constantly has a wealth of information for us. Thank
you to you, your staff and to Ears of Experience.
Hi Dee, they have not stated this yet, but I would suspect so.
I will endeavor to confirm!
Hi again Steve
Just wanted to see if you were able to confirm any information about upgrading the extended 2020 ticket (purchased in 2019) to the 2022 ticket.
Thank you
Hi Dee, sorry I have not been able to. Still trying. Disney can be hard to get info out of…
Hi Steve,
Love the info on your site!
I am in a similar situation where i cant use my 2020 purchased tickets (not yet activated) due to the pandemic and now family changes.
I’m hopeful I don’t lose the value of the ticket because they expire!
Thanks,
Anthony
Thanks so much Anthony!
I taged in on your other question about letting another eligible person use them. Great idea.
I do not see any of the Salute tickets listed at any nearby Base ITT offices as of today 6/29/21. Do you know how or where we purchase these tickets?
Hi Noelle,
Well, Disney says (as noted in the post) that tickets aren’t available until 6 July. Very often it takes local bases (each on an individual different schedule) from days to weeks, and in some extreme occurrences in the past, months to get the new tickets.
Hi
Are these tickets available to purchase at the ticket booth? I have bought the military salute tickets at the booth at disneyland in previous years.
Hi Vera,
That remains to be seen.
Disneyland’s online info expressly says purchase at Base Ticket Offices. (which goes against previous years)
Thank you, Steve! I don’t see that the military ticket holder have to activate prior to the other tickets being activated? But, this can be done at DTD and not count as a day? I’m seeing conflicting info. If 6 tickets are purchased, can they be activated at separate times? Does the military ticket holder have to be there each time?
Hi Stefanie,
At WDW Salute Tickets may be activated ahead of time without using up a day at any location such as Disney Springs.
At Disneyland Salute Tickets are activated upon first use at the turnstiles. There is no Downtown Disney location to activate them ahead. Activation uses up the first day.
Tickets may be activated in multiple events by the member or spouse, who must be there with ID, and have a current Salute ticket of their own with days left on it.
https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disney-military-discounts/how-to-activate-your-disney-armed-forces-salute-theme-park-tickets/
Can you explain ticketing for guest 3 and under? Also, is there different pricing for guest 4-10 years old? I noticed on Disney website, that regular tickets denote ages 10+ in price. And thank you sooo much for this information!
Hi Nina,
Under 3 is free, no ticket.
For Salute Tickets the prices are for 3+. There is only the one ticket.
See: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/the-disney-armed-forces-salute-military-ticket-and-room-discounts/
for general public tickets and Regular Military Discounted Disneyland Tickets, there are child 3-9, and adult 10+
See: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/military-discount-theme-park-tickets/disneyland-military-discounted-theme-park-tickets/
Do the tickets for disneyland have to be reserved on certain dates when you purchase them with the base or can you use them at any time? Not sure what dates we would like to go in October.
Not when you by them, but you must link them and make theme park reservations for the days you want with Disney online.
See: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disneyland/disneyland-theme-park-reservation-system/
Hi Steve,
Will a DD214 be suffice to prove veteran status for purchase of tickets? I also have my Veterans Identification Card.
Thank you!
Hi Aldo,
Well, you are asking this question on a post about the Disney Armed Forces Salute, which those who did not retire from the military are not eligible for.
However there other discounts you may qualify for.

When will the tickets be available at ITT centers on base? I checked today on Davis-Monthan AFB and was told that they do not have access to the Salute tickets and do not know when they will be available for sale.
Hi Ro,
Every individual base is different. History has shown that some are very quick to start selling them, while some take weeks and in some extreme cases months to begin selling the new tickets.
I believe that Camp Pendleton will have them soonest.

Say I purchase a 4 day Salute pass, would I be able to split the days like 2 days in September and 2 days in November? Or do they have to be used within 14 days like the other multi-day passes?
Hi Crystallyn,
You have the entire offer period to us all of the days on the ticket. There is no 14-day expiration.
This info and more details are located on our main Disney Armed Forces Salute page:
https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/the-disney-armed-forces-salute-military-ticket-and-room-discounts/
I purchased the 4 day DISNEYLAND tickets on base yesterday. There was a note in the envelope that said the remaining 3 days must be used within 13 days of the first day used. I know this was a thing with multi day tickets purchased through Disney when the parks first reopened. Does that apply to the military tickets as well? I cannot reach Disney to verify
Hi Renee,
Nothing Disney has published indicates that is correct.
One of two things could have happened, 1. the worker put the note in your envelope by mistake or through lack of knowledge (sadly there is a lot of that at the Ticket Offices), or 2. You bought/were sold the regular military tickets.
What was the price for each 4-day ticket? About $260 would be a Salute Ticket, and about $333 or $386 would be the two varieties of regular military 4-days.
I paid $510 for two 4 day park hopper tickets. I am going to go with the fact that there is a lack of knowledge at the ticket offices. I will be on base today maybe I will go ask again.
So you tell me that Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) , can buy these discount tickets but me a service connected combat veteran cant because i am not 100% disabled that is BS. Maybe writing to my congressman will help but i doubt it , i want to take my kids to disney and cant get the discounted tickets or other benifit but these organizations can. Dont get me wrong i am not downing anyone , thank you for what you do also , but can i get this opportunity for my family . I put in the time and risked my life and i should be able to have these benifits also. It is a dam shame.
Hi John,
Eligibility is set by the contracts between the DoD and Disney. Definitely contact your elected representatives.
Posting here on this informational site run by a military retiree is great, but go to the source!
Where did you find this news regarding the combined 2021/2022 salute ticket? I asked my leisure travel office and they had no clue. Disney’s site also doesn’t mention anything like this?
Hi Matt,
By combined ticket, I assume that you mean upgrading your 2020 ticket to a 2021 ticket?
I’m traveling this week and do not have access to my archives, but it was most likely WDW Media Relations, if not it was a MWR/ITT trusted contact.
Don’t expect Disney cast members to know much about their company’s military discounts (it’s a pervasive problem) or for their site to have all the rules…
https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disney-military-discounts/disney-parks-call-center-should-you-trust-them-about-military-discounts/
Can Air Force Civilians purchase and use Disney World and Universal tickets from Shades of Green?
Hi Catharine,
Yes, all tickets that Shades of Green or other Base Ticket Offices sell except those that require a military ID for use. Those being the Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets and the Universal Orlando Freedom Pass.
All other Disney and Universal tickets are available.
Are you able to purchase Disneyland tickets through Shades of Green?
Hi Amanda,
No you are not. Your best bet is Camp Pendleton.
https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disney-military-discounts/buy-military-discounted-disney-tickets-by-phone/
I am a 100% Disabled Veteran with my ID card saying DAVPRM, can I purchase 4 of the tickets for me, my wife and I have a 9 year old boy and 13 year old boy. Also where to I go to get them? I live in Auburn Alabama and occasionally go to Maxwell AFB or can go to Ft Benning GA. or do I order them online or what? needing them for January 10th 2022 for 4 day hopper passes for my entire family of me, wife and my 2 sons as mentioned.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated as I am trying to take my boys to Disney World in Orlando FL.
Hi Randall,
From your question it sounds like you haven’t spent any time on they site yet. I recommend that you spend plenty of time doing so.
All of these questions are answered here!
But, yes 100% DAVPRM are eligible for all Disney discounts. You can purchase wherever you like, in person at the bases you visit or long distance form the bases that sell that way. A 2022 Disney Armed Forces Salute has not yet been offered!
Here are some links for you to start on:

The page says: No more than six (6) Disney Military Promotional Tickets may be purchased and (if
applicable) activated by any Eligible Service Member or spouse
Does this mean each household is limited to 6 tickets? Or can the member purchase 6 tickets and the spouse purchase 6 tickets for a total of 12 tickets?
Hi James,
The key word in the sentence is or, it doesn’t say and.
The 6 Disney Armed Forces Salute Ticket discount is 6 per military member. The spouse may use Salute tickets in place of the member not in addition to.
Hi Steve
I just found this in an email from August 2, 2020. Can you tell me if this still applies? Can we use the wholly unused tickets to apply toward the purchase 2022 tickets?
Thanks for your help
Dee
When Salute Ticket sales do resume, the expiration date for Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets sold through December 15, 2020 will also be extended to 26 September 2021. (instead of December 18, 2020) This date will be printed on all newly sold Salute Tickets.
“If a guest is unable to visit by September 26, 2021, Disney will allow the guest to apply the value of a wholly unused Ticket toward the purchase of a ticket for a future date.”
Hi Dee,
The info as I understand it is in the following post link: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disney-armed-forces-salute/using-disney-armed-forces-salute-tickets-in-2021/
I’m aware that Disneyland has extended the 2020 tickets through the end of the 2021 offer which is 16 Dec 2021.
I haven’t seen anything from Disneyland about using 2020 tickets at any time desired in the future. I’d keep a hold of that email to use as leverage if you find that you can’t go this year.
If I buy my military discount tickets on base, how can I make a reservation online? I do not see an option for military. They tell you you have to buy tickets at your base and also make a same day reservation online. How do they know I purchased military tickets?
Hi Anne,
You link them to your Disney account first, then make your reservation.

If I have a retired friend purchase the voucher will there be an issue with my military husband activating the tickets? He’s not 100% disabled.
Hi Kimberly,
Sorry, I don’t understand your husband’s status. You called him military as in he is currently in the military and then said he is not 100% disabled as in he is not in the military any more.
Can you clarify?
He is a veteran that is not 100% disabled
Hi there Kimberly,
The Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets this page talks about are only for those who are currently in the military, retired from the military or who are 100% Permanent Service Connected Disabled (DAVRPM). A current, valid ID is required to activate the tickets, so your husband will not be able to activate them.
OK, so still some missing information, you keep saying he is not 100%, But is rated at some disability percentage? It matters.
If he is Service Connected Disabled (any percentage) he qualifies for the John McCain 2018 Disabled Veteran Equal Access Act. Through this ha can buy the Regular Disney Military Discounted Tickets for Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Your friend or your husband can buy these and he can use them without a current, valid ID.

The new 100% perm cards DO NOT Say “DAVPRM’ on them and your pictures of the ID cards is now out of date with what they actually look like causing confusion
Thanks Marcus,

HI Marcus,
It would be helpful if you described what they do say now…
