Disney’s Armed Forces Salute is a fantastic money saving offer available to military members and their families.
It offers huge theme park ticket and resort room discounts.
Because the discounts are so much bigger that the Regular Disney Military Discounts there are quite a few strict rules and restrictions for the Salute offer.
The number of theme park tickets is limited to 6 during the offer period and the method in which they may be used is highly controlled. See the Disney Armed Forces Salute FAQÂ for specifics.Â
More Available Than You Knew
It is a little known or advertised fact that the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Armed Forces Salute Ticket Offers are totally separate offers.
Every eligible military member may purchase and activate up to 6 theme park tickets at Disney World and also 6 at Disneyland, for a total of 12 tickets during the current Salute offer period!
You could go on a spring vacation at Disney World and an early fall one at Disneyland in California.
Unlimited Disney Military Hotel Discounts
Another great little known fact is that there is absolutely no limit on the number of times you may use the Armed Forces Salute Disney Resort Room Discounts!
I always use the room discounts numerous times every year.
Need help with your Disney Resort Reservation? I recommend Ears of Experience, a Disney Only, Military Family Owned and Operated Concierge Travel Agent.
Make Disney a Regular Habit
If you are stationed nearby or live close enough (or can find cheap flights) using these discounts you could make multiple trips to Disney a year! The combinations of room nights and park days or water park/fun options are almost unlimited.

Hello, we used salute tickets in CA in Nov 2021 and we’re planning to use them in Nov 2022. Our ITT office said due to covid the 2021/22 ticket promotion period changed for this year and we would have to wait until Jan 2023 to get more tickets. I was under the impression it is 6 per calendar year (not promotional period) as stated in the Disney go website.
Our ITT office said they would sell them to us but can’t guarantee we can get through the gate and since they are no. Refundable I need to know if this is allowed since it has been 1 year between our visits? I don’t want to get to the gate and be told we have to buy all new tickets. I tried to call Disney ticket sales but they don’t know anything about salute tickets. Can you please help?!?
This is copied directly from the disneyland.disney.go.com website
*** No more than six (6) Disney Military Promotional Tickets
may be purchased per calendar year and (if applicable)
activated by any Eligible Service Member or spouse
(regardless of the place of purchase and whether
purchased by that person or that person’s spouse). In
addition, one of the six (6) Tickets purchased must be used
by the Eligible Service Member or their spouse.
Hi Kristin,
I see that Disneyland’s site says that now. But The Salute offers have never run on calendar years, they run on the offer period, which in the case of DLR is from the re-opening in 2021 to Dec 2022. When initially offered they stated the limit for that time period was 6 Salute tickets.
You didn’t state it, but have you already used 6? If not you can use up to 6 before the end of the offer.
If you need more, I’d communicate with Disneyland Guest Relations via a method that gives you evidence (email) and get them to tell you that you can use 6 in 2021 and also 6 in 2022. Then you can buy the tickets you need and bring the email with you in case of trouble and if needed demand they make the situation right because you were told officially that you could do it.
Hope I was clear, let me know.
Also, please touch base after to let me know how it turns out so I can share the info!
Steve, I am planning a trip to Disney World at the end of January 2024 and was debating on getting the 6 day ticket to make a trip to Disneyland later in the year. If I activate at Disney World and use 3 days can I go to Disneyland later and use the remaining 3 days there? Thanks!
Hi Drew,
Unfortunately no. The offers are totally separate. You will need to buy tickets for each location.
And to date Disneyland has not announced a Salute for 2024, though that should be soon.
Hi! We are a family of 4, but are thinking of buying the maximum 6 of the 6 day tickets for 2024. Will Disney allow us to assign 2 tickets to a single individual, so 2 of us would have 12 days to use?
Hi Leah,
Yes, you can absolutely have more than one Salute ticket per person.
This would be good to use these days over the full course of the offer, not in one trip.
If however you are talking about just a single trip, consider the 10-day Regular Disney Military Ticket Discount for Walt Disney World. (when combining tickets you are paying for the expensive first days twice) See https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/military-discount-theme-park-tickets/regular-military-discounted-magic-your-way-tickets/
