Hi Sherri!
A Florida resident parent can indeed purchase
Florida Resident tickets for their 10-year-old child, even if the child is not a Florida resident. As the parent, you can buy the ticket and verify your Florida residency either online ahead of time or at the park. Just remember to bring proof of your Florida residency and be present when your little one enters the park.
Now, let's talk about all the fun your 10-year-old can have at the Walt Disney World Resort! For starters over at
Magic Kingdom Park, there's the thrill of riding
Space Mountain and feeling like an astronaut zooming through the galaxy. Your child can team up with Buzz Lightyear to save the universe on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin or take a swashbuckling adventure on Pirates of the Caribbean.
If your 10-year-old is an animal lover, a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom is a must. They can soar on the back of a banshee on
Avatar Flight of Passage or come face to face with some majestic animals on
Kilimanjaro Safaris. Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the whole family can join the Resistance on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or zip around with Slinky Dog on Slinky Dog Dash.
Lastly, don’t forget about EPCOT, where exploring the world’s cultures and experiencing some science-inspired fun is always a blast.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a must-do for any thrill seeker and
Soarin' Around the World is iconic.
With so much to see and do, your 10-year-old is in for a magical adventure they’ll never forget! I hope they will enjoy every moment and may their trip be filled with wonder, joy, and plenty of pixie dust!
