Hey there, Kayla!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you've stopped by with such a great planning question. The only thing more fun and magical than a visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth is a visit with friends. And while this Louisiana girl is a bit jealous that you get to take advantage of the fantastic Florida Resident discounts, I'm thrilled to hear that you and your friends will be making magical memories together this summer.
While I love that you want to gift your friends a little extra magic, all Guests using a
Florida Resident Ticket must be Florida residents, and all Florida residents over the age of 18 must show
proof of residence.
But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." Did you know you can pixie dust your non-resident pals by sharing a discounted Disney Resort hotel with them? Just book the room and make sure you have a photo ID and proof of residency at check-in. And currently, Florida residents can
save up to 35 percent on Disney Resorts Collection rooms this summer, if you book by February 24, 2025!
Kayla, when you're purchasing your Florida Resident Ticket online, be sure to verify your residency in advance to save time and enter the parks with your friends! If you're purchasing your tickets on the Walt Disney World website, just fill out the "Your Florida Resident Information" form at checkout. If you purchase your tickets on the My Disney Experience app, verify your residency on the "Customize Your Tickets" screen. Now, you're going to Walt Disney World!
While this may not have been the answer you were hoping for, Kayla, I hope it was at least helpful. Wishing you and your friends the most magical time! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have. You ain't never had a friend like planDisney!
Adventure is out there!
