Disney World Unveils New $499 Yearlong Ticket for U.S. Military Members

In honor of Veterans Day and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, Walt Disney World has announced a new ticket offer exclusively for U.S. military members and their families. The “Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket” provides yearlong access to all four Walt Disney World theme parks throughout 2026 for $499 per person plus tax.

The new offering functions much like a low-cost annual pass, giving eligible service members unprecedented flexibility to visit the parks anytime during the year, without needing to buy or upgrade multiple tickets. Valid from January 1 through December 18, 2026, this commemorative ticket will only be unavailable during the following blockout dates: March 29–April 11 and November 22–28, 2026.



The ticket can be purchased by eligible active or retired U.S. service members and their families through participating military base ticket offices.

Alongside the new yearlong ticket, Disney is continuing its traditional Military Salute Ticket Offer for 2026. This option includes a 6-Day Park Hopper ticket for $449 plus tax (about $75 per day) as well as discounted 4-Day and 5-Day Park Hopper versions. Like the commemorative ticket, these are valid most of the year with the same blockout dates.

For more information, including purchasing details and eligibility requirements, service members can visit local military base ticket offices or Disney’s official website.
