Hey Lidiannie!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for your family's service and sacrifices for our country. I have many friends and family who are serving or have served and I know that it is not easy.
Walt Disney World Resort understands that families in the military move quite a bit and provides a few options to
prove Florida residency. If you have a valid Florida-based military ID that is acceptable then residency can be confirmed online without ever having to visit Guest Relations. If you have not received that Florida-based military ID yet or don't have one you can also bring other items dated within the past two months such as a mortgage statement, utility bill, or mail from a federal, state, county, or city government agency. In this case, you will have to take these items along with a valid photo ID and head to Guest Relations or Will Call. I find the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs to be especially convenient for this as you can eat a giant cookie from
Gideon's Bakehouse shortly after!
I don't know if you know that there are special discounts for eligible service members or their spouses to use for their families. The
Disney Military Salute Tickets can be a great deal and would require no proof of residency but proof of active or retired service. There are some restrictions but it is one of the best values for tickets. You can visit your U.S. military base office to check them out but know that right now they have some blockout dates and end by December 14, 2023. Don't worry though if you miss out, I highly expect these tickets to return in some way for 2024.
Please find ways to make special memories together and enjoy every moment. You all deserve it! I hope this helps and if you have any questions please
let me know! Happy Planning!
