Hiya Eve,
Welcome to planDisney! When I saw the latest
Florida Resident theme park ticket deal, I started nudging my Prince Charming about our dream of returning to Florida. Doesn’t everyone want to move across the country to be near the Most Magical Place on Earth, or is that just me?
Based on your question, Eve, it sounds like you want to know about proof of residency for specially priced Florida resident theme park tickets and other offers. To purchase and use a Florida Resident theme park ticket or annual pass, you must provide
proof of residency at a Florida address. Typically, this is in the form of a valid Florida driver’s license or state-issued ID, but there are other forms you can provide if you do not have one of those. You can also offer select bills and mail, including mortgage statements, homeowner’s insurance policies, automobile registration or insurance, specific utility bills, banking statements, and mail from governmental agencies. If you have these forms of proof of residency, they must be dated within the past two months, and you can bring digital or printed copies to Guest Relations for verification. One last thing, Eve, each Guest over 18 who resides in the same household must provide proof that they reside in the same address to qualify for Florida resident theme park tickets. Florida Resident Guests under 18, according to the website, are not required to show proof of residency as long as the adult purchasing the ticket is a Florida resident with valid proof of residency.
I hope this was helpful, Eve. Before I let you go, I wanted to recommend a trip to
Disney Springs to verify your residency. When I lived in Florida and had to verify my residency, it was much easier to bring my documents there than taking them to the theme park and waiting in the often longer lines. I can verify my residency at Disney Springs, grab a snack, and get in some early shopping at World of Disney, then arrive the next day at the theme parks with my tickets activated and ready to go! If you head to Disney Springs, check out

Happy Planning,
