Howdy, Thomas! Welcome to planDisney!
I see that your trip to the Walt Disney World Resort is just around the corner! Ka-Chow! In a few short weeks, you'll be dashing around
Disney's Hollywood Studios,
Soarin' Around the World at
EPCOT and parading through Magic Kingdom Park on your journey to happily ever after!
Before you begin your exciting adventure, let's handle the details and discounts so you can be on your way to the magic. There are quite a few
benefits for Florida Residents, including discounted tickets and hotel offers. These are ever-changing, so it is always a good idea to check before each trip and see what pixie-dust Walt Disney World may send your way!
I have good news for you, Thomas! Verifying your Florida residency is as easy as ever with the newly implemented online verification option. If you have not yet purchased your tickets, you can verify your Florida residency at checkout either online or through the My Disney Experience app. Simply fill out the section labeled "Your Florida Resident Information" at checkout. I do believe you may have already purchased your tickets this time, but this is something to keep in mind for the future!
If your tickets have already been purchased without verifying your Florida residency online, you are still able to do so at any
Guest Relations location. Be sure to look over the
proof of Florida residency guidelines so you know what to bring with you to verify! No matter which Guest Relations location you choose, you'll only have to do this one time, saving you time at each park during the remainder of your trip.
Thomas, you'll be arriving in time to experience the offerings of
EPCOT's International Festival of the Arts, one of my favorite times of the year at Walt Disney World! I just returned home from my own magical stay, where I spent a full day at EPCOT admiring the work of different artists and trying beautifully crafted bites from the festival stands around the World Showcase. My favorite was the General Tso's Chicken Shumai from The Painted Panda in the China pavilion. I hope you can stop by and give it a try!
I hope I've helped answer your question, Thomas! Enjoy your stay at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
