The Jarhead Online recently wrote about free Disneyland tickets for Active Duty and Retired military members. This is great news for eligible military members – until recently, Disney did not even offer military discounts, much less free tickets!

Ryan thanks for the mention on this. It is great news. Gotta love Disney.
I am trying to get my son free tickets to Disney land I see the advertising for free tickets but no where to get them just wording written about them being offered? Where do I actually get them??
Does he just show his Military ID at Disney land to get in for free?
Denise: The free tickets are only for military members, but the military member can purchase discounted tickets for friends and family. The military member will need to get the tickets from his local Base Ticket Sales, sometimes called ITT (Information, Tickets, Tours). He should be able to find the responsible agency on his base.
I know that the tickets expire on the 12/23. Does that mean that you can purchase them up to that day and use them the 23rd-28th. Or do you have to go by the 18th in order to beat the expiration date?
Kimberly, I read it as you needed to use your final day pass by the 23rd, but I could be mistaken. I would contact Disney for clarification. Best of luck, and have a great trip!
Are there any discounts for all the vets who do not qualify. As a Viet Nam vet with an 80% disability, it is a big disappointment not to qualify. In speaking to Disney World rep re this offer, there is nothing available.
Gene, I am not aware of any discounts specific to military members who served during certain periods, or to disabled military members. I wish you the best and thank you for your service and sacrifice.
NO free admission for firemen? Messed up.
I get my Disney ticket 2 days ago, but family members come to Orlando next week. Can I buy the discount tickets for my family member?
Firemen are cool and all, and deserve our respect, but a huge difference between civil and military service.
Just wanted to let you know that the Disney World is having a promotion for 2010. It expires on 31 JUL 2010. Found the information off of baseops.net/marketplace/. Great website for other updates.
firemen and policemen are very noble professions but what about the little guys who make them able to do their job. like the water dept. workers giving the firemen the ability to put out the fire. it takes a whole network of ppl to get the job done but only one group gets recognized. that is also messed up but no one says anything about that on public forums. lol
None of those jobs are done in a foreign country with thousands of people trying to kill as many of you as possible on a daily basis.
