Hiya David,
Welcome to
planDisney! You must be so excited for your family to be coming to visit from the United Kingdom. We just moved away from my parents, and I know they are missing us just as much as we are missing them, so I’m sure your family feels the same. I hope their visit is extra magical, especially since it will include a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Great question about the
Florida resident discounts on Resort Hotel Reservations, David. Depending on the date, the Florida resident discounts can help you save quite a bit on a resort hotel stay. I reached out to a Cast Member, and they told me that since the Florida Resident deals are exclusive to those with Florida residency, you would need to be the lead Guest staying in the resort hotel room and check in to the resort hotel to provide
proof of residency. Since you mentioned that you wouldn’t be staying with them, you wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the Florida resident rate for the resort hotel stay.
I hope this was helpful, David. Before I let you go, I’m not sure what dates your family is planning to visit, but there is an almost identical
resort hotel deal available to non-Florida resident Guests for most nights from May 1 to October 4th, which may be perfect for their visit. Additionally, new deals are always being released, so you never know if one might appear that is ideal for their vacation. If you need anything else, please come back and see us. I hope that your family has an incredible visit!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
