Military Tickets at DL?

[RUDisney]

My parents are going to SoCal in a few weeks with my sister and her family. Dad is eligible for military tickets, but the Depot he works at only has tickets for WDW.

Is there a place in DL that he can buy military tickets like at Shades of Green in WDW? Or, can he purchase the WDW military tickets and use them at DL?

I heard that you can get them at the gate. You may have to wait in line and be prepared to show the ID. Hope that helps.

He can't get them at the post he's on... only WDW. I asked my BFF at West Point if she can get them on post and she said they are FLA... whatever that means. I'm waiting for her to clarify that for me.

Dad has the proper ID and I told my Mom to make sure he has it with him when they go because I wasn't sure if they'd require the ID for admittance, too.

I also heard you can buy them at the gate...I hope so because we will not know until last minute if my son can come with us and he will be getting our tickets hopefully at the gate

Ha! With all the military acronyms, I thought FLA meant something fancy. She meant that she can only get them for WDW.

I'm going to do some research on the Disney site to see if I can confirm gate tickets.

only SOCAL base ITT/MWR offices will have DL tickets..and sometimes you even have to order them ahead of time you cannot just walk in and pourchase the vouchers.

you can get them at the Gate. if the DTD Guest relations office sells tickets you can get them there too.

We were able to order DL tix while stationed at FEWarren in Wyoming. It just depends on the location and availablity.

Last October we were able to purchase the $99.00 3-day park hopper passes right at the Ticket Booth!

This option may still be available. I'm not sure what number at Disneyland you can call to verify.
