Hiya Richard,
Welcome to planDisney and Welcome Home! Like you, I love all the
Member Benefits that come with being a
Disney Vacation Club Member. From dining and shopping discounts, Member-exclusive events and lounges, and special ticket offers, there are so many perks to Membership that it's hard to pick a favorite –– good thing we don't have to, right?!
While being eligible to purchase Florida resident tickets as a Disney Vacation Club Member sounds like a magical idea, Guests must physically reside in Florida to purchase these tickets. Qualified
Guests must present proof of residency, including a valid Florida driver's license, valid Florida state-issued ID card, or a valid Florida-based military ID. Guests may also show proof of a current Florida mortgage or mail from government or financial institutions to qualify as a Florida resident. That means only Disney Vacation Club Members who are
also Florida residents may purchase Florida resident tickets or Annual Passes.
In 2021, Walt Disney World relaunched its newly-imagined
Annual Passholder program with a
special pass tier and pricing for Disney Vacation Club Members and Florida residents –– the Disney Sorcerer Pass. While sales of most new Annual Passes are currently paused, including the Disney Sorcerer Pass, sales may resume at any time. If you're interested in purchasing one of these, be sure to check the
Walt Disney World Annual Pass page for the most up-to-date information on Annual Pass sales before you arrive in April. And although discounted theme park admission is not currently being offered as a Member Benefit, eligible Members can take advantage of discounted water park admission to the
newly re-opened Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park.
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney, Richard. Feel free to stop back by if you think of any other questions as you plan your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation –– we're always here to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Amy
