Hi Donna, and welcome to planDisney!
I love that you want to spread the Disney magic to your grandchildren this year! There is no doubt that your little Mouseketeers will never forget your gift. And let's not overlook the fact that you are in for the most magical adventure as well. As you prepare yourself for these ticket purchases, I'm happy to share what I know about
Florida resident discounts for Walt Disney World Resort.
Donna, as a Florida resident, you may purchase Florida-resident tickets or annual passes for your grandchildren (as long as they are under the age of 18 years old). At the moment, there is a special 1, 3, or 4-day
Florida-resident ticket that will save you up to 40 percent of the non-resident cost. Woo-hoo!
If you'd rather purchase an annual pass for yourself and your grandkiddos, the
Disney Pixie Dust Annual Pass is the only pass available for purchase right now. It's a great way to explore the theme parks on most weekdays throughout the year.
If your grandchildren are not Florida residents, on their first visits (to the theme parks or at Disney Springs), you will need to be present with
proof of Florida residency. After that, they may use their tickets or passes at theme parks for the entire year from the day of activation.
I hope that you found this information helpful, Donna. Your grandchildren are going to love the yummy treats and amazing attractions (like my 5-year-old's favorite,
Slinky Dog Dash at Disney's Hollywood Studios). But remember, the true gift is you! If you have any further questions, please
revisit us here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
