Hi, Anna! Welcome from another Anna from New Jersey!
Walt Disney World does sometimes have
special offers, deals, and discounts available only to guests in the United Kingdom and Ireland. You will also notice
holiday packages that are available only through the UK website. While we in the United States can't book those deals or packages, they also don't have restrictions when it comes to using them.
If your friend from Ireland books the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and purchases
theme park tickets for both of you, there's no reason you can't use them. Unlike other specific passes, like those with a
Florida resident discount, no proof of residency is required.
Before you book, don't forget to check the exchange rate and make sure you're still getting your best deal. Also, keep in mind that some of the holiday packages offered in the UK are very much geared towards a different type of traveler, and may include tickets or a hotel stay for longer than you need.
Last piece of information - just like tickets purchased in the United States, you will still need a
theme park reservation to enter the parks. You can do that as soon as you link your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account.
Anna, I hope you and your friend make so many magical memories on your upcoming trip!
Anna
