Hello there, Juan. Welcome to
planDisney.
I think it is so thoughtful that you would like to purchase
Walt Disney World Theme Park tickets for your family to enjoy. Giving the gift of magic is a wonderful thing!
Juan,
Florida resident theme park tickets are designed specifically for Florida residents to use. The tickets actually have to be activated once you are at the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. To activate these tickets, Guests ages 18 and over must show valid proof of Florida residency at a Guest Relations window before the first use. This can look like a valid Florida driver's license, a valid Florida state-issued I.D. card or a valid Florida military I.D. card. There are also a few other ways to show proof of residency but those are the most common.
While your nieces and nephew won't have to show proof of residency since they are all children, their tickets will need to still be activated by someone who can, like yourself. You can purchase your nieces and nephew the tickets, but you will need to be present at the Guest Relations window before they enter the first Walt Disney World Theme park to activate them. For your sister, who I am assuming is 18 or over, she would need to purchase a standard Walt Disney World Theme Park ticket to accompany them since she would not be able to show proof of residency.
After the theme park tickets are all set, Juan, I did want to mention that your family will still need to make
park pass reservations to visit a Walt Disney World Theme Park. These are basically like a virtual placeholder in line at the theme park they'd like to go to each day. After their tickets are linked to their
MyDisneyExperience account, they can visit the park pass reservation website. It's an automated process that will take them through the park pass selection process.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion about the Florida resident tickets, Juan. If you have any other questions about this, or anything else, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Enjoy!
Jackie H.
