Disney World Military Salute Tickets 2026

01 · Prices

Compare the four 2026 ticket choices

Disney publishes the prices below before tax. A participating military base ticket office or Shades of Green may charge less and does not add tax; a Walt Disney World theme-park ticket window adds tax. Confirm the seller's final total and delivery process before purchasing because these tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

02 · Dates

Make the required park reservations immediately

Unlike current date-based standard tickets, every ticket in this military offer requires both valid admission and an advance reservation for the first park on each visit date. Disney warns that reservation inventory allocated to this offer can run out even when another ticket type still has availability.

Tickets are valid for park admission from January 1 through December 18, 2026, except during the two published blockout periods. They expire after December 18 and cannot be used later.

• Spring blockout: March 29 through April 11, 2026.
• Thanksgiving blockout: November 22 through November 28, 2026.
• Reserve the first theme park for every visit date after linking the ticket.
• Enter the reserved first park before using Park Hopper benefits that day.
• Celebrates America ticket holders may hold up to five park reservations at a time on a rolling basis.

03 · Eligibility

Know who can buy the tickets and how the six-ticket limit works

Disney defines eligible service members as active or retired members of the U.S. Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, Coast Guard, Space Force, Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, and Commissioned Corps of NOAA. A spouse also qualifies when presenting a valid and active U.S. military ID.

The eligible service member and spouse share a limit of six total tickets across ticket types and purchase locations. One of those six must be used by the eligible member or spouse. When that person has a valid Walt Disney World Annual Pass both at purchase and when a ticket is used, Disney instead allows up to five tickets for others without requiring the member or spouse to buy one for personal use.

• Valid military identification is required to purchase and use the tickets.
• The same person must use a ticket on every day assigned to it.
• Tickets cannot be transferred, resold, or refunded.
• The limit applies jointly across the eligible member and spouse—not six each.

04 · Activation

Plan for the published in-person activation rule

Disney's official 2026 terms say the tickets are not valid until the eligible service member or spouse activates them at a Walt Disney World theme-park ticket window. Online discussions sometimes describe seller-specific handling or tickets that appeared ready in the app, but that is not a safe substitute for the written rule.

Link the tickets and make the required park reservations as soon as your seller provides the necessary information, but still budget time for the eligible person, military ID, and activation at a theme-park ticket window. Ask the seller exactly what has been completed before travel without assuming that linking, reservation availability, and activation are the same step.

• Purchase from a participating military base office, Shades of Green, or a Walt Disney World theme-park ticket window.
• Bring the eligible service member or spouse and valid military identification for activation.
• Do not promise the group that a linked ticket is already activated unless the authorized seller confirms it under Disney's current terms.
• Allow extra time before the first planned park entry in case the ticket window has a line.

05 · Included and excluded

Do not mistake the offer for Annual Pass benefits

The tickets cover park admission under their terms. They do not include theme-park parking or discounts on dining, merchandise, or other offerings. Park Hopper Plus adds a number of water-park, golf-course, or miniature-golf visits based on ticket length; operating availability still matters.

Eligible service members or spouses may also buy up to two specially priced Memory Maker products for $98 each through December 18, 2026. Disney says that special Memory Maker purchase is made at a Walt Disney World theme-park ticket window and has its own terms.
