Military Freedom Pass questions

[CarolynFH]

My sister bought us 2-park Military Freedom passes for our trip in November and used the print at home option (she's a technophobe and doesn't have a smartphone). She'll arrive on a Thursday and will stay offsite, but I'll arrive on the following Monday, and we'll both check in to RP for 3 nights in order to get EPs for those days. She'll go to GS on Friday to activate and pick up her ticket and then hit the parks - but she can't get my ticket that day because I have to be there to show ID, right? 2nd question: can I pick up my ticket on Monday at RP, or do we have to stop off at GS at the entrance to a park to do that?

You may have to show your ID to get the pass and she may need her military ID to get the passes. I got my adult DD’s annual pass, not a military pass, at the hotel, and she did not need her ID so the hotel may be able to do the military ticket. Would be easier, and maybe less of a line, to do it in the hotel. I don’t have recent experience, as last time I did the military tickets, we all had to be there, and I showed my military ID. Did get thank you for your service most of the time we entered the parks. I hope they can do it in the hotel. Would be easiest for both of you. And have fun.

Very nice of Universal to allow the military to enter for the rest of the year, including over the holidays. And thank your sister for her service.

There is no "print at home" option for these passes. They have to be purchased at a base and then activated onsite. Are you sure she bought the right tickets?

Maybe you would call it a print at home voucher. It’s a pdf file with a page and UPC code for each of us that says we have to exchange it at a Front Gate Window with our photo ID. She doesn’t have a smart phone, so she’ll print it at home and bring that printout with her to pick up her ticket on Friday. We were wondering whether she’d be able to get mine at the same time even though I’m not there (and I’m sure she won’t) and also whether I’ll be able to pick mine up at RP or have to stop at a park Front Gate to get it.

We had to have everyone present showing id's (only one was military) with the voucher ITT gave us when we purchased.
