Hi there Silvia, and welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear you have a magical stay planned at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn. You're going to love this resort's seaside charm and picturesque location along Crescent Lake. It's one of my favorite places to call home in Walt Disney World!
Silvia, my parents also live in the Sunshine State and love to take advantage of special hotel rates and ticket offers just for Mickey Mouse's closest neighbors. Last summer, they joined my family and me on our Walt Disney World vacation and arrived with Florida resident tickets that needed to be activated by confirming their residency. We were staying at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and activated their tickets at the Transportation & Ticket Center the evening before our first theme park day.
It is possible to
verify Florida residency online before finalizing a ticket purchase, but if you didn't do this, you can take care of it once you arrive, before entering the theme parks. The Cast Members at Disney's BoardWalk Inn can't help you with this mission, but if you take a quick stroll or boat ride to the International Gateway entrance of
EPCOT or the main entrance of
Disney's Hollywood Studios, stop by Guest Relations or a ticket window and present proof of residency there. Cast Members at any theme park ticket window, the Transportation & Ticket Center, or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs can activate Florida resident tickets.
I hope this is helpful, Silvia! Don't forget to follow the
Disney Parks Blog and monitor the
Florida resident specials page to see if future ticket or resort offers will make your family's vacations even more magical. Thanks for coming to see us at
planDisney, and have a happy holiday season!
