Eligibility & how to get it
Who's eligible
Free ticket: U.S. active duty, activated or drilling Reserve, and National Guard. Veteran pass: U.S. veterans.
How to sign up
Verify online with ID.me on the park's military page, then print the tickets. Spouses use the service member's verified account.
The catch
Free ticket is one park, one visit, used by Dec 31, 2026. Retirees and DoD civilians don't get the free ticket.
Every card links to the program's own website, and we only list what that site says. Disney's site wouldn't load for us, so the Disney card uses the Army MWR ticket office's official 2026 price list.
Ratings come from Charity Navigator. Offers change, so confirm on the official site before you go.
Travel
