Veterans Day at Disneyland comes with a special flag retreat on Wednesday, November 11, when a U.S. military band and veteran Cast Members join the daily ceremony in Town Square at 4:15 PM. The time is subject to change, so check the Disneyland app before you plan around it.
Flag ceremonies have been a daily tradition at Disneyland since the park opened in 1955. The Veterans Day version adds the military band and veterans from the Cast Member ranks, so if you are in the park Wednesday afternoon, head to Town Square a little early to find a spot near the flagpole.

Veterans Day Merchandise At Disneyland
The Mickey Mouse military collection Disney released in October, with a T-shirt, a jersey, a mug and a baseball cap, is at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure and World of Disney in Downtown Disney while supplies last. The Disney Parks Blog says the designs are inspired by all branches of the U.S. military. We covered the full lineup when it first arrived: Disney’s 2026 Veterans Day merchandise collection.
Military Tickets And Hotel Rates
Eligible active and retired U.S. military members can still pick up discounted Disneyland Resort tickets. A 1-day, 1-park ticket is $104 for adults and $98 for kids, and can be bought and used through December 30, 2027.
The multi-day Park Hopper tickets have a much shorter window. They must be bought by December 27 and used by December 31, 2026:

These are sold at participating U.S. military base ticket offices and online through GOVX, and a valid military ID and park reservations are required. Disneyland Resort hotels also have special rates on select rooms for stays through December 31, 2026, bookable by December 27 at (866) 309-9737, with military ID required at check-in.
Military Tributes To Look For
A few spots in the parks honor service members all year. A Seabees statue that the U.S. Navy presented to Walt Disney in 1966 is on display in the Main Street Opera House. In the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure queue, look for the tribute to Tiana’s father, James, a World War I veteran of the 369th Regiment. Fowler’s Harbor in Frontierland is named for Rear Admiral Joe Fowler, who led construction of Disneyland, and the Wings of Fame exhibit in the Soarin’ Across America queue at California Adventure pays tribute to historic planes flown by military service members.
Walt and Roy O. Disney both served during World War I. Roy served in the U.S. Navy, and Walt was a driver for the American Red Cross Ambulance Corps, which makes Veterans Day a fitting day to look for these tributes on your way around the parks.
