Hiya Susan,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Florida Resident ticket question! First of all—congratulations on planning to purchase a second home here in the Sunshine State! As a Florida resident myself, I can tell you there’s nothing quite like having the magic of Disney World right in your backyard. Whether it’s a spontaneous day trip to purchase the new merchandise on Main Street or a long weekend enjoying the EPCOT festivals, being a local really does add a whole new sparkle to the experience.
Now, let’s dive into your question. Florida Resident special offers—including discounted tickets and Annual Passes—are available to Guests who can show proof of Florida residency. To qualify, adults 18 and older must provide one of the following:
- A valid Florida driver’s license with a Florida address
- A valid Florida state-issued ID card with a Florida address
- A valid Florida-based military ID
Suppose you don’t yet have one of those forms of ID. In that case, you can also provide a piece of official mail dated within the past 2 months that shows your Florida address (such as a utility bill, auto registration, homeowner’s insurance policy, or mail from a financial institution or government agency), along with a matching photo ID. Electronic statements are accepted, so you can even show them from your phone or tablet.
So, to answer your question: once you purchase your second home in Florida, if you’re able to provide the proper proof of residency at that address, then yes—you will qualify for Florida Resident discounts, including tickets and special offers.
Susan, I hope this helps as you get ready for your exciting move and magical park days ahead. If any other questions pop up while you’re planning, please feel free to visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Christina
