Hi Brandy and welcome back to planDisney!
Living in the Sunshine State and being a
Walt Disney World Passholder gives us the flexibility to visit the theme parks as often as possible and my family sure does love taking advantage of that! We have been living our best Disney lives all summer so far and having so much fun!
You are correct that there is a new way to
verify Florida residency online as long as you have the proper Florida ID card. You can use a valid Florida driver’s license (must have a Florida address), a valid Florida state-issued ID card (must have a Florida address) or a valid Florida-based military ID. Each Guest 18 and older purchasing a Florida residency ticket or annual pass must provide one of these cards to use the digital residency verification online. If you or another adult in your party does not have one of these cards, you will need to
verify your residency the "old school" way and do it in person at any ticket window or Guest Relations at any theme park or
Disney Springs.
When purchasing your annual pass, I highly recommend adding the
Disney PhotoPass Downloads option. This will give you a full annual pass year of unlimited PhotoPass photos taken in the parks, Disney Springs and all of your attraction photos. I love having our vacation photos taken by PhotoPass photographers so my whole family can be in them instead of me missing out or having an awkward arm sticking out of the side of selfies.
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
