Where can I purchase 2024 Disney Military Veteran Discounted Tickets?
If you’re wanting to buy Disneyland tickets the ONLY option you have to purchase Veteran Discounted Disney tickets is on base/post, either at ITT or MWR.

If you are planning on purchasing Disney Military Discounted tickets, from now until the end 2025 it’s a good idea to know what types of tickets are available and where you can purchase those tickets. Also please make sure that when you are attempting to purchase your discounted tickets you know the expiration dates and blackout dates. Every ticketing office is different so the process of ordering, dates, and prices will vary from office to office.
Non-Promotional Disney Military Discounted Tickets
Non-Promotional tickets are available for ALL Service Members. Honorably Discharged Veterans are eligible to purchase these discounted tickets. Non-Promotional tickets are also available to any Service Member that is eligible to purchase the Military Salute tickets. Discounted tickets are available for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. There is no limit on how many Non-Promotional tickets a Service Member can purchase, and these tickets can also be “gifted” from a Service Member to friends or family.
How can I buy these tickets if I don’t have access on base?
Non-Promotional tickets can be purchased at a local military installation ITT or MWR office. Proof of military service is required to purchase the discounted tickets, with either a DD214, VHIC (Veteran Health Identification Card), or HEC form H623A, coupled with a driver’s license/ REAL-ID or passport. Each ticketing office has their own process. You can call or email an ITT or MWR ticket office and inquire as to how you can purchase Non-Promotional tickets.
ITT & MWR Suggestions

Disneyland Veteran Discounted Tickets
Below are example prices from DLA Installation San Joaquin. As I said before, ticket prices may vary from location to location; so if you are local to a base or post and their prices are more or less know that the prices I’ve used may or may not be the same. And remember, you’re not restricted to buying these tickets at one specific location.
*Also! Always compare the prices from Disney and MWR/ITT. Disney prices are based on the time of year, holidays and school vacations. SOME weeks, the price directly from Disney might be cheaper than the price from MWR/ITT.

An important note: Full Price ticket prices (above) are based on tickets between 2/16/24 – 2/24/24. Buying tickets directly from Disney, pricing may be more or less depending on the time of year. The Magic Your Way tickets are a fixed price and will be the same no matter when you will be visiting the parks, so the savings might be more or less during certain times of the year. But as you can see, the more park days you buy the more money you will save.
