Hi Fran!
I highly recommend that you look into the
Walt Disney World Value Resorts for a great value along with all of the convenience and amenities that come with staying on the Walt Disney World property. Complimentary shuttle service via the Walt Disney World Transportation System is available from these resorts and can get your family members wherever they need to go throughout the Parks and Resorts.
And, I have some exciting news: There is a special going on right now! Check out this web page to see if you all could possibly book this vacation using this
Walt Disney World Special Offer! I advise you to check around the Disney website for other special offers, as well.
As for the tickets, proof of Florida residence is required for each purchase and use of a Florida Resident ticket for each adult, age 18 and over. So, Florida Resident tickets cannot be purchased for out of state family and friends.
Here's hoping you have some wonderful "family time"!
