Is it Correct that I can only make one single purchase of Disney’s Armed Forces Salute Tickets?

This 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.

I was told that I can only make one single purchase of the Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets, Is that Correct?

Absolutely Not True!

You may make as many separate Salute ticket purchases as you’d like during each Disney Armed Forces Salute Offer Period (up to the individual offer ticket limit).

There was a very brief period that Disney introduced this short lived rule. Back in October 2010 when the 2010 – 2011 Disney Armed Forces Salute was announced Disney included a new twist in their ticket rules:

No more than six (6) Disney Military Promotional Tickets may be purchased 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), and all six (6) must be purchased at the same time.”

This silly rule did not last more than 2 weeks!

Disney canned it as soon as I pointed out that they were discouraging repeat visits by those who didn’t need all 6 tickets at once.

Unfortunately the contract that was negotiated with the MWR community for that particular Salute Offer had this language in it and most Base Ticket Offices stuck to this contractual obligation (one single purchase per member) during the whole year-long offer (and into the next offer).

Sadly this “rule” still pops up from time to time either from the Disney Call Center or a Base Ticket Office who never got the memo back in 2010!

Special 2021 Rules

Things are slightly different in 2021 if you are still holding 2020 Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets.
