Hiya Meaghan,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your
Florida Resident passholder question. How wonderful that your father wants to gift his grandkids a trip to Disney World. That kind of gift is pure magic and definitely the kind of memory that will last long after the trip is over. We surprised our girls with a Disney vacation one Christmas, and the excitement when they opened that gift was unforgettable.
So, let’s jump right into your question. To purchase a Florida Resident ticket or
Annual Pass, you must be a resident of the state of Florida. Florida residents age 18 or older will need to provide
proof of residency showing a Florida address. Additional members of the same household must also show proof that they live at the same Florida address.
For Florida residents under the age of 18, proof of residency is not required as long as the adult purchasing the ticket or Annual Pass is a Florida resident and can provide valid proof of residency.
It is also important to keep in mind that Disney reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to request additional proof of residency at any time. If a document is not considered valid or if fraud is suspected, Disney may cancel a ticket or Annual Pass or refuse admission.
Another option I always recommend is checking the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World website. Sometimes Disney releases promotional tickets available to a wider audience, not just Florida residents. If you see an offer that works for your family, it is a great idea to purchase sooner rather than later since these promotions are subject to availability and can change faster than Lightning McQueen on race day.
Meaghan, I hope this helps answer your question and makes planning this special gift a little easier. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop by and visit us again.
See you real soon,
Christina
