Hi there Joanne, and welcome to planDisney!
Being one of Mickey Mouses's closest neighbors is the best! As a resident of the Sunshine State, you're eligible for
special offers and discounts on tickets and resort stays. My parents live part-time in Florida and frequently join us on visits to Walt Disney World. They're always checking
this page in search of their next magical getaway!
To
verify your Florida residency online, you'll need to fill out the “Your Florida Resident Information” form upon check-out when you purchase theme park tickets on the Walt Disney World website or complete the “Customize Your Tickets” step when you purchase through the My Disney Experience Mobile App. For each ticket purchased for an adult,
you'll need one of the following:
*Valid Florida driver’s license (must have a Florida address)
*Valid Florida state-issued ID card (must have a Florida address)
*Valid Florida-based military ID
If you do not have one of the IDs listed, you can also provide mail from a financial institution, an electric bill, homeowners insurance bill, automobile registration, or mortgage statement, (dated within the past 2 months), evidencing a Florida residential address, along with a corresponding picture ID.
If you finalized your ticket purchased without verifying your residency, you'll need to stop by a ticket window or Guest Relations on your way into a theme park. You only need to do this one time; once your status is confirmed, your ticket will be activated and you'll be good to go for the duration of your visit. Last summer, my parents joined my family for a vacation at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. They stopped by the Transportation & Ticket Center on their arrival afternoon so they were all set to walk right into the
Magic Kingdom Park on our first full theme park day. You can also take care of ticket business at the
Disney Ticket Center at
Disney Springs.
I hope this is helpful, Joanne. Best wishes for a wonderful visit, and we'll see ya real soon!
