Welcome to planDisney, Eric!
I hope you’re getting excited to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth with your children. Watch the Disney Parks Blog for updates as you near your trip for exciting updates!
Guests purchasing and using Florida resident tickets must be Florida residents, currently. As it appears you are not a Florida resident, your friend cannot purchase Florida resident tickets for your children as they would be considered non-residents. Your friend can
validate their own tickets online, at Guest Services, or at Disney Springs. I wish I had better news for you about that BUT there are some great offers available for children’s tickets, Eric! The offer currently available enables you to
save 50% on select kids tickets this summer (these tickets are valid May 27, 2025, through September 20, 2025). I highly suggest looking at these tickets for your children. If you are not going during the offered dates, familiarize yourself with the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page as there are typically a few ways you can save listed there!
If you have any additional questions before your trip, Eric, we hope you’ll visit us again at planDisney — we’re just a dream away!
