Share This!

The Disney World Military Salute is back for 2026 – with a special offer in honor of America’s 250th anniversary! This popular promotion includes special hotel rates and tickets for members of the U.S. military and their families. In 2026, one of those tickets includes unlimited entry at Disney World throughout the promotion period, and there are also special rates on Disney Cruise Line.

Eligible Service Members are active or retired members of the US Military, including the National Guard, Reservists, the US Coast Guard, the US Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS), and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Spouses of Eligible Military Service Members also qualify if they can present valid and active U.S. military IDs.

Disney World Military Salute Ticket Prices & Details

The Military Salute Ticket can be purchased as a 4, 5, or 6-day ticket, and can be purchased as either Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus tickets. Unlike regular tickets, these are fixed-price tickets that don’t depend on the date of your visit, and don’t expire at a set time after first use. Since these tickets are not for fixed dates, theme park reservations are required when you visit the parks.

  • The Park Hopper Option allows you to visit more than one theme park on the same day.
  • The Park Hopper Plus Option gives you park hopping privileges, and allows you a certain number of visits to a water park, golf course, or miniature golf course based on the length of your ticket.

These tickets are valid with an advance park reservation for visits between January 1, 2026, through December 18, 2026, subject to the following blockout dates:

  • March 29 through April 11, 2026 (Easter)
  • November 22 through November 28, 2026 (Thanksgiving)

In 2026, Disney is also offering a special Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket, which may be used for unlimited entry from January 1, 2026, through December 18, 2026, subject to the blackout dates above. This ticket is similar to an Annual Pass, but may not include some typical Disney World Annual Pass perks such as free parking and discounts.

Eligible military members can purchase up to 6 Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Tickets or Disney Military Salute Tickets; one of these must be for use by the eligible member. Or, if the eligible military member has an Annual Pass, they don’t have to buy and use a Military Salute or Disney Celebrates America Military Salute ticket for themself. But the total allotment is then reduced by 1, so the number that can be shared with family & friends remains the same.

Tickets can be purchased at U.S. Military Bases, Shades of Green, and Walt Disney World Resort theme park windows. Memory Maker can also be purchased for $98 through December 18, 2026.

Jennifer has a background in math and biology, so she ended up in Data Science where she gets to do both. She lives just north of Boston with her husband, kids, and assorted animal members of the family. Although it took three visits for the Disney bug to "take", she now really wishes she lived a lot closer to the Parks.

    Are you sure those prices are correct? You have the 6 day ticket and the 4 day ticket as the same price–$499 and the 5 day as $429.
