    My husband is 100% disabled veteran. Wanted to ask if we purchase the salute ticket, does my veteran needs to be present at the reservation to get it activated? What if he cant come and just wants us his wife and children, to enjoy disney. Will we be able

    Hello MJ!

    First, I’d like to extend our deepest thanks to you, your husband, and your entire family for the immense sacrifices you’ve made in service to our country. We are so grateful, and it’s truly an honor to welcome you to experience the magic of Disney.

    Disney does offer special military promotions, including the Military Salute Ticket, for active duty, retired, and disabled veterans with DAVPRM status, as well as civilians carrying a permanent military ID (CAC card). It's my understanding that as the spouse, you should be able to activate the tickets with your military ID, even if your husband is unable to join you. This would allow you and your children to enjoy the parks without needing him to be physically present at the time of activation. If you’d like further clarification or would like to make sure that information is correct at the time of purchase, I highly recommend you contact the Walt Disney World Resort directly.

    You can purchase the Military Salute Tickets at participating U.S. military bases, or at Walt Disney World theme park ticket windows.  In addition to discounted tickets, Disney also offers other great perks for military families, such as discounts on Memory Maker (which can only be purchased at Disney World Ticket Windows) and special rates at Select Disney Resort Hotels in 2024.

    I truly hope you and your family have the most magical vacation, and I hope your husband will be able to join in on the fun at some point. If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
