Hey Howdy Hey Ricky and welcome to planDisney!
Being a
Florida resident has so many benefits when it comes to planning a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. Not only are you super close to the resort itself, but Disney usually has really great special offers for Florida residents to take advantage of a quick trip to Disney. There is a big catch when it comes to being a Florida resident though which will address your question. Let's review the specifics and get you an answer!
To purchase and qualify for the Florida resident discount,
proof of residency is needed. You can do this in one of two ways. The first would be online through your
My Disney Experience account as you are purchasing your tickets. All adults with valid identification will have to upload their information online through the "Customize Your Ticket" step of the purchase. At that point, any adult purchasing tickets will have to upload their information to verify their residency to qualify for the discounted tickets. The other way would be in person at the will-call ticket stand. At that location, you will have to show the Cast Members the identification for all adults which would verify their proof of residency. You can do one or the other and do not have to do both.
So to your question specifically, only those that have qualifying identification from the state of Florida would qualify for the discounted tickets.
I would also encourage you to keep an eye on the
Special Offers page. Here you will find all the latest offers that Disney has and as long as you are logged into your My Disney Experience account, you will be able to see everything that Florida residents have available to them with regard to these discounts.
I hope this information helped clear up your question to better help you plan for your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any further questions, please feel free to drop by and let us know, we would be happy to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Nick
