Hi Ghost and welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for stopping in to visit us with your question!
When it comes to buying and using
theme park tickets for Florida Residents, there are a few things that have to happen before you can actually use that ticket. It’s important to know that any adult using a ticket meant for a Florida Resident will have to show
Proof of Florida Residency to activate and use that ticket.
Ghost, while you can’t gift a Florida Resident theme park ticket to a friend who lives out of state, you can buy them a regular theme park ticket or a
Disney Gift Card. If you choose the latter, they can use the gift card toward the purchase of a theme park ticket, toward purchases at Disney Stores and they can also use the Disney Gift Card to pay for parts of their vacation at
Disney theme parks. Its kind of the gift that keeps on giving!
I think your gift idea is very thoughtful. I hope I’ve given you a few alternatives, when it comes to giving your friend a birthday gift.
Thanks again for stopping by!
Veronica
