    Hi there, my mom is a Florida resident and would like to buy my kids (5 and 9) Disney tickets for the parks. We live in Georgia and are not Florida residents, can my kids still use those tickets? My mom will likely not be with us at the parks

    Well, hello there, Caitlin! Welcome to planDisney, where the good times always roll!

    A February trip to the Walt Disney World Resort usually means cooler temperatures, but just as much fun as always. In fact, with the brand-new Zootopia: Better Zoogether! show in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, taking place until February 23, 2026, it's probably more fun than ever. And while we don’t know the exact date Frozen Ever After in EPCOT will reopen with its brand-new, state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics, I’m crossing my fingers (and maybe even building a tiny snowman) that it’ll be open when you’re there! After all, it's currently projected to open in February at some point!

    Florida Resident theme park tickets are for the use of Florida Residents. When scanning into a theme park using Florida Resident theme park tickets, all Guests over the age of 18 using these tickets will need to provide proof of residency. Guests under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult who has also provided proof. Please check the proof of residency page for examples of acceptable proof.

    Now, I know it opened a while ago, but the newly refurbished Country Bear Musical Jamboree in Magic Kingdom Park is such a delight, and I just had to recommend you check it out. The show has never been more fun, with brand-new renditions of some of our favorite Disney songs from across the catalogue, with my favorite being "Try Everything." Plus, seeing Trixie St. Clare (my favorite of the Country Bears) sparkle will bring a smile to anyone's eyes. Her outfits are giving a Taylor Swift vibe, and I'm totally ready for it!

    Caitlin, enjoy your trip to the resort! And if any other questions pop up, just give a holler, I’m happy to help.

    Keep on clappin’ and stompin’,
