Bonjour, Robert, and a warm welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It's a pleasure to chat with another resident of the beautiful Tampa Bay area!
When my husband and I first decided to buy our
Florida Resident Annual Passes, one of the things we looked forward to was popping over to enjoy a meal at one of the
fabulous Epcot restaurants. That's certainly a perk of living just an hour's drive away from the magic, isn't it? If you'd like to savor the gourmet tastes of
Monsieur Paul in the France pavilion, you would need Theme Park admission since it's located inside Epcot. If you're not interested in the Epcot After 4 Annual Pass right now, you could simply buy 1-Day Tickets, or take advantage of the
Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket Offer.
Robert, Discover Disney is a phenomenal deal for us Sunshine Staters! You get three full days to spend in the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks for $175 per person, plus tax. Compared to a
1-Day Ticket, you're getting two extra days for just a few dollars more! You have until June 27, 2019, to buy the tickets, and they'll expire on June 30. This is just the 2019 offer, and future prices are subject to change. If you do go for the Discover Disney Tickets and then decide you want to upgrade to Florida Resident Annual Passes, you'll be able to apply the entire price of your ticket to the new pass as long as you have at least one unused day left. It's like having your creme brulee and eating it, too!
I hope this helps you discover some options for enjoying all Walt Disney World has to offer, Robert. Please feel free to
drop me a line if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
