Hello Trisha!
Welcome to planDisney! Your arrival at
Walt Disney World Resort approaches and I am excited that you are enjoying it with your family! I love this time of year in the Parks as it is just beautifully decorated and
full of holiday cheer!
As a Florida resident, your cousin is lucky to be living in the same state as one of my favorite places in the world. I'm sure visits with her are extra special knowing you can soon visit my friend Mickey! You are right that your sister has access to some amazing
Florida Resident ticket deals and as a Florida resident with the
proper identification they can even easily verify their residency online. However, each ticket purchased by an adult is to be verified separately so while her ticket will be fine and approved online there will need to be separate verification for every other guest. Each adult 18 or older will have to show proof of Florida residency or proof of the same residential address as your cousin.
I'm sorry if this does not work out for your family but may I suggest a savings that would apply for you during your trip? A
new seasonal pass was announced for the Disney Water Parks which is just $79 per pass, plus tax. It's a valid pass until May 24, 2023 This is a great deal as a
one-day ticket for an adult with no blockout dates is $74 so just two visits to the water parks results in huge savings. (As always, prices are subject to change for any price quoted in this answer) A planDisney panelist favorite,
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park will re-open on November 6, 2023, just in time for your arrival! Imagine chatting with your cousin while floating on an inner tube on
Cross Country Creek. I think I just planned a perfect vacation moment for you.
Let me know if you have any more questions as I am glad to help! I hope you have a safe flight and a lovely trip!
Happy Planning!
