Hi there, Bob! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with a question for me! I'm always happy to help another Floridian plan a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort.
You're right that when it comes to 1-Day tickets, we Floridians pay the same price that our out-of-state friends pay. With that in mind, I decided to have a chat with a Cast Member today to make sure I knew the policy for Floridians using the 1-Day ticket. I'm told that since you purchased a Florida Resident-specific ticket, you'll still need to
provide proof of residency to activate it, even though you're not getting a discount.
However, we should still be able to link your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account so you can make your
theme park reservations before heading to the parks. Now, if you haven't created an account yet, go ahead and do so as soon as you can. The account is free and it will be a big help for keeping track of all of your magical plans.
Got your account up and running? Hot dog! Let's log in and get your tickets linked to it. Hop on over to the "
Link Your Reservations and Purchases" page and select "Tickets." You should have received a confirmation email when ordering your tickets that includes a ticket ID number that you'll enter to link them. If you're having trouble finding the number, scroll through the samples on the right to help you locate it.
Once your tickets are linked to your My Disney Experience account, you have the option to use
Disney's MagicMobile service to save them to the electronic wallet on your phone, which will enable you to hold your phone up to the touchpoint for park entry. You'll still need to stop by Guest Relations on the way into the park to verify your residency, but with Disney MagicMobile, you won't have to carry an Admission Card or wear a MagicBand if you'd prefer electronic tickets.
Bob, I hope you found this information helpful. Have a practically perfect visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, and please come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
