Military Ticket Question

[KBazzel]

I've read several of the threads (including Cheshire Figment's who is amazing!) on the military tickets but still had a couple questions.

First, I'm going to a conference with the wife of a retired Air Force guy. My understanding was that she'd be able to purchase five tickets on her ID since her husband wouldn't be present. The rub is that she really doesn't want to buy a ticket - she's concentrating on the conference - but is happy to let several of us use her discount. Does she have to purchase a ticket in order to purchase tickets for others? If not would she still be able to purchase 5 total tickets?

Second, it's my understanding that she'd need to be present - with her ID - in order to get everyone's tickets activated. Where would be the closest location to get the tickets activated from the Swan and Dolphin? I'm trying to make this an unobrtrustive and painless for her as possible.

Thanks!

Check this out under "Disney Ticket for Military Personnel" http://www.wdwinfo.com/discounts/discounts-military.htm#tickets

Is there any way she can purchase them at the MWR on base before your trip? That way she doesn't even have to worry about buying tickets while she's down there.

She'd still have to activate them at WDW, so no need for an extra step.

ANy Guest Relations (even the one in DTD) can activate the tickets,so go to the one closest to you. She doesn't need to buy a ticket for herself.

I just called Disney tickets because I’m planning on purchasing military tickets for my next trip. I asked about where the military tickets can be activated, if they can do it at the resorts. The CM told me that they can be activated at SOG or at any Ticket Window.

So in your case, I’d hop on the boat and go to the DHS ticket window with her. DHS isn’t that far, you can even walk.

Hope this helps.

They can be (bought and) activated at a ticket window at either DHS or the Epcot International Gateway

Thanks, everyone, for your help. That's exactly what I needed to know.
