Hiya Justin,
Welcome to planDisney, and welcome to Florida! Being able to visit the Theme Parks whenever you want is such a dream come true, and I'm so excited that you are considering making your move even more magical with
Annual Passes.
Justin, one of the most popular questions we get at planDisney is about verifying Florida residency. If you have a valid Florida Driver's license or Florida state-issued ID card (or military ID with a Florida address), it is easy to provide
proof of residency. However, it can be a little more tricky if you do not. Since you are both still awaiting your Florida licenses, you can submit an additional form of residency to activate your Annual Passes. Your internet bill is acceptable (as long as it is no more than two months old), and the power bill would be an excellent choice for your wife. She can provide a printed, electronic version or the statement on her smartphone if she doesn't have a physical copy. However, if your wife does not have the utility bill, then additional forms of residency (dated no more than two months) can include the following:
- Proof of current mortgage
- a homeowner's insurance policy
- automobile registration
- mail from financial institutions, such as account statements
- mail from federal, state, county, or city government agencies
If your wife doesn't have any of these items, you can try to use the change-of-address letter from the postal service. In my experience, this hasn't been accepted, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I hope this was helpful, Justin. Before I let you go, did you know that Annual Passes are
activated upon first use? This is helpful if you and your wife purchase Annual Passes on different dates. Once purchased, you have one year from the time you purchase an Annual Pass until you use it to activate it. As long as you enter the Theme Park on the same day, you will have the same expiration date despite your purchase dates.
I hope this was helpful, Justin. If you need anything else, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning!
