Can I Use a Disney Gift Card to Buy Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets On Base or at Shades of Green?

By Steve 2 Comments

Ears of Experience Military Disney Vacation Experts

Military-Disney-Tips-FAQ-Friday-IThis post is part of our Frequently Asked Question Series in the Disney Armed Forces Salute Ticket FAQ section.

The Disney’s Armed Forces Salute offers huge savings on theme park tickets and resort rooms to those Service Members who are eligible to participate.

Can I Use a Disney Gift Card to Buy Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets On Base or at Shades of Green?

Unfortunately No.

Disney gift cards are an internal company prepaid credit voucher and are only valid at Disney locations (at WDW, Disneyland, Disney S tore locations and online).

Shades of Green and Base Ticket Offices are not part of the Disney company and so do not accept this form of payment.

If you have Disney Gift Cards to use

You can pay for your tickets by other means and use the gift cards upon arrival for Disney hotels, meals, and souvenirs.

Shades of Green, the military Resort at Walt Disney World does accept the Star Card for ticket purchases.

    Hi Steve
    I hope this is the right place to ask a question. I was having a hard time navigating back to the original page I was on.

    My husband is a veteran and has a 100% service connected disability. We have never used the discounted Disney tickets before and I am trying to understand it all. He will be unable to attend Disney with myself and my children and I understand he would need the proper ID to activate the tickets when we get to Disneyland…with a spouse ID am I able to attend without him and activate the tickets. Also I have been told he needs a specific ID that states his 100% disability status is that correct?
    If you are able would you also please direct me to where I can read up on how to Make reservations on Disneyland’s website with the tickets once we have them?
    Thank you so much for your time,
    Ashley Tober

      Hi Ashley,

      As long as you have a retired military spouse ID you will be all set. Spouses can activate Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets in place of the member.

      We are kind of in a gray area for the 100% ID as the military has stopped putting DAVPRM on the new IDs. But as a 100% DAPRM he should just have a retired ID, which it sounds like he does.

      For making reservations, Disney keeps changing the process and what the screens look like, but check out this post for the basics. It’s failry easy and the Disneyland site or app will walk oyu right through it.
