The Disney Armed Forces Salute offers special military tickets. These tickets are for a specified number of days and come in several varieties.

Qualified individuals may purchase up to a maximum of 6* theme park tickets per military member during the 2019 Salute offer periods.One ticket is solely for the use of the member or spouse, the rest can be used by anyone else (family or friends).These tickets are non-refundable. The tickets are valid for the entire length of the offer periods (with certain excluded dates):

2020 Disney Armed Forces Salute – 1 January through 18 December 2020

Days remaining on the tickets do not need to be used consecutively. Any days left on the tickets will expire at the end of the offer period.

Tickets purchased at all military resellers (except Shades of Green) and not directly from Disney must be activated prior to first use in person by the military member or spouse. See Salute Ticket Activation Procedures

Once the tickets are activated the party may split up. For example some go to one park and some to another, or even use the tickets on different days. The Military ID is checked only upon ticket activation.
