Hi Triniti!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It sounds like your dad is about ready to win Grandpa of the Year when he purchases a Walt Disney World ticket for your
kiddo!
One of the best advantages of
living close to Walt Disney World is the great discounts you get on Disney Theme Park tickets, and I love that your dad wants to take advantage of that. He can purchase tickets in person at any of the four theme park ticket windows, or online and then pick up at will call. Unfortunately, to activate Florida Resident tickets he needs to be present and show proof of Florida Residency when the tickets are picked up. While there is no age limit for purchasing Florida Resident tickets, all adults need
proof of Florida residency, so make sure you have the necessary documents for your ticket.
I know you said that he needs to skip out on the Parks for health reasons. No problem! Once your tickets are activated, your dad does not need to be there any of the other times that the tickets are valid. I'm sure he will be delighted to hear all about the Magic when you return home! Since you have an it-bit, head to Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park. It is MADE for the littles! One of my kiddos' favorite rides at that age was
Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The squeals of delight as we soared high in the sky are some of my favorite memories!
Triniti, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to come back. I wish you and your babe a magical vacation!
