Hiya Ashlea!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for sending us your magical question today! I am so excited that you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort real soon. Indeed, Florida residents have access to many fantastic perks, so I completely understand that you would want to benefit from them. Plus, there is no better time to celebrate than during the World's Most Magical Celebration!
Now, let's talk about the
types of proof of residency that are accepted to use the Florida Resident discounts. Disney requires that you use a valid Florida ID card such as a driver's license, state-issued ID or Florida-based military. If you do not have a valid Florida ID, you may also use proof of mortgage, homeowners or automobile registration or bills, or mail from financial or governmental institutions. Do not forget that bills and mail must not be older than two months to be used for this step. If your disability card fits these requirements, you should be able to use it, but the best way to know is to
contact a Cast Member via chat, email or phone. You can also stop by a Guest Relations window and show your proof of residency there. Still, you will have the opportunity to verify your proof of residency online when purchasing your tickets.
Once your tickets have been secured, remember to make your theme park reservations to visit the parks! Indeed, theme park reservations are currently required in addition to valid theme park admission for you to visit the parks. That way, you will be able to experience all the new offerings that will be available this year. Firstly, I would highly suggest stopping by Magic Kingdom Park to enjoy all the new
50th-anniversary entertainment, such as
Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire, the special 50th-anniversary cavalcade and the new nighttime spectacular
Disney Enchantment. Secondly, did you hear that the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will be returning to EPCOT for an extended period? Also, at
EPCOT, Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind will be opening its doors to Earthlings on May 27, 2022, and the brand new
Connections Café will also be opening soon! With so many new offerings coming, you will not want to miss this magical year!
I hope this was helpful, Ashlea, and that you and your loved ones will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
