The website says the military person is to be present and use one of the tickets the first day. Not sure if this is strickly enforced though. - zigbear  151.7 #2304 7:12AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't exactly a military park hopper. It's a park hopper with a military discount. All park hoppers expire 13 days after first use.. Meaning after the first day you use them, you then have 12 days to use your other 2 on a 3 day hopper. - MyPark  946.4 #94 7:03AM

You can check the Disneyland web site or call their ticket hotline. The folks there are really friendly and they have all the answers - mhpoker  265.4 #888 7:05AM

No the military person has to only be present when you go in - cyndaws  252.9 #1009 7:37AM

Per disneylands website "Each Disney Military Promotional Ticket must be used by the same person on any and all days. Disney Military Promotional Tickets may be used ONLY by the Eligible Service Members, spouses, other family members or friends for whom they are purchased. In addition, a valid military ID may be required for admission." you don't have to use them 3 days in a row and it says military identification MAY be required and not IS required. retired military ID counts too. I have had friends not need to show ID and I've had friends say they are cracking down. - KissDclown  1088.4 #77 7:53AM

I was at DL yesterday and the family in front of me were asked for military ID - cyndaws  252.9 #1009 8:00AM
