Hiya, Lisa!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for dropping by with your question today. To be honest, I'm always a teeny bit jealous when I talk to Florida residents –– being able to jump in the car and be at Walt Disney World in a few hours sounds like a dream come true! As a resident of the Sunshine State, you'll also find great discounts on tickets, hotel rooms, and more each time you visit The Most Magical Place on Earth, but you'll need to
provide proof of a Florida residential address to take advantage of all these exciting offers. Let me share a few details about verifying your Florida residency to help you prepare for your upcoming visit.
At this time, the only way to verify your Florida residency online is by doing so at the time you purchase your tickets at the Walt Disney World website. To provide that proof, you'll need to visit a
Guest Relations location or theme park ticketing window before you can enter the park with those Florida resident tickets. While you can do this at the park on the morning of your arrival, if you're local to Orlando or you'll be in the area a day or two before your visit, I recommend heading over to Disney Springs and visiting the Guest Relations Lobby in the Disney Springs Welcome Center to verify your tickets ahead of time. That way, you'll be ready to hit the ground running on the morning you arrive at the park and you won't have to spend extra time waiting in the ticket line.
Before you arrive, I also recommend taking a peek at the
Special Offers page for Florida Residents. This is where you'll find all the current discounts and special offers available to you. It's the perfect way to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your visit, so be sure to check it out!
Thanks so much for visiting planDisney, Lisa. I hope this helped to answer your question and I hope you have a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort in January!
See Ya Real Soon,
Amy
