Hi there, Donna. Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for reaching out to me.
Well, you did it. You brought up a sore subject. I am currently sitting here, visiting my father-in-law in Florida, longingly looking at the
Florida Resident discounts, benefits, and deals, including the incredible
Florida Resident Disney Thrills Ticket. And, I'm just going to say it: I'm jealous. Being a Florida Resident, there are so many benefits available to you at the
Walt Disney World Resort...not the least of which is your proximity to the parks! The nerve! Of course, I'm kidding. I think it's wonderful that the resort offers its in-state Guests some of the best deals.
I spoke to a friendly Cast Member at the resort to confirm that if you purchase a Florida Resident Disney Thrills Ticket and have to cancel your trip before using the ticket, you are able to apply the amount of the wholly unused ticket towards a future
theme park ticket purchase. Hopefully, this is not the case and you get to enjoy the full benefits of this great deal, but it's nice to know that it's an option should the need arise. Please note the
Florida resident requirements on the website and that these particular tickets require
Theme Park Reservations for each day you want to visit a theme park (subject to availability).
Since it looks like you are planning to visit in March, I think it's imperative that I mention that the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be running while you are there. While an end-date hasn't yet been announced, it begins on February 28, 2024. I love the beauty of the topiaries around the park and, of course, the Outdoor Kitchens. Be sure to follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog to be the first to know about the menus that will be available at this year's festival. And if the Impossible Lumpia is being offered again this year, don't sleep on them! They are amazing. But if they aren't offered again, I'm sure there will be something just as delicious, if not even more. I don't know how that's possible, but if there's a way, the incredible
culinary team at the resort will find it!
If you have any other questions, you can again
reach out directly to me and I'll get those answers for you right away!
My, what beautiful blossoms we have this year,
Matt
