Can anyone tell me if there is a tax on military tickets purchased at the Disneyland ticket booth?
Thank you...No taxes charged on Disneyland tickets bought in California
I've bought at our not-so-local MWR two or times. It's 4 hours away, but the nearest one and we have not paid tax. I've bought them through MWR once or twice via a phone call and had them mailed. No tax, but there was a charge to mail them ($12? 15?). And then I've bought them at the ticket windows at the parks countless times over the last 5 years. Like probably 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years. No tax. They say you need to live 50 miles away from a base to buy at the ticket booth, and once they told me I needed to go to a local base to buy them in the morning (got a higher CM to educate that one).I would love to hear a report. I was told that the reason you buy the military tickets at itt, is so you do not pay taxes at the booth.
This is the first I have heard you can buy Military Salute Tickets at the ticket booths. I have only purchased at ITT (over the phone with a $20 charge) and they claim you can only purchase 6 per year, yet zbh275 states you have bought 2-3 times a year. Please let me know how this works. It would be magical to be able to go more than once a year for 6 people (we always need 8 or 9).

My understanding is 6 per service member per year, but you can buy 6 for WDW and 6 for DLR. Only exception that I know of is if service member’s immediate family (not parents, in laws etc) is larger than 6.
Good to know. But you CAN buy them at the Ticket Booths? I was told you HAD to buy them at MWR/ITT.
We have the armed forces salute tickets that were bought on base. I was wondering if we have to go to the ticket booth first to activate them or if we can take them directly to the turnstiles. Thanks.
Good question. My dad has them so I'll have him check.Is it a voucher or an actual ticket?
Usually these can go directly to the gate and they just scan them in and give you the paper tickets. You will need the person with the military ID there when you all go through the first time. This is a different process than the one at WDW, where you have to go to the ticket booths and have the person with Military ID with you on first use.We have the armed forces salute tickets that were bought on base.

I'm coming in late to this, but in case it's of any help... I was at Disneyland mid-September, I bought the 2019 Military Promotional Tickets at the gate. I could have bought them on post where I live in Maryland, but it wasn't necessary. No questions, I just showed my retired military ID and bought tickets for myself, my daughter, and my mom (who lives with me).Good to know. But you CAN buy them at the Ticket Booths?
