Hi Emily, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you stopped by to see us with your question. As a Florida girl myself, I love sharing all the benefits available to Floridians at the Walt Disney World Resort!
While things are a bit unusual right now during the
phased reopening process of Walt Disney World, I can give you a general guide of how the Florida Resident Annual Pass Program works under more normal circumstances. All
sales of new Annual Passes are currently paused, but in the past, Disney has provided a monthly payment option to Florida residents. Typically, there would be a down payment equal to a 1-Day ticket, with the balance of the Annual Pass spread out over the payment period. Keep in mind this information is subject to change when Annual Pass sales return, so I'd keep an eye on the
Florida Resident Special Offers page for updates.
In the meantime, Emily, Disney just announced that the
Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket offer has returned for 2021! This is one of the best deals of the year, and I'm so excited that it's back. There are 2-Day, 3-Day, and 4-Day options, so you can choose the one that fits your family best. Before we became Annual Passholders, my family took advantage of this deal several times and we absolutely loved it. Just imagine - you can be walking down Main Street, U.S.A, before you know it!
Just remember that you do need to provide
proof of Florida residency before you can activate and use your tickets. But once that's done, you're off to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
I hope this helps you plan your Disney days, Emily. Please come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
