Hi there, Krystal!
I’m elated to hear your family is planning a Walt Disney World Resort visit. And you sound like you have the most incredible family for wanting to purchase theme park tickets for your Mouseketeers. How very kind of them!
I’m happy to tell you that
Florida residents may purchase theme park tickets for Mouseketeers under 18. Your Floridian family would need to provide their
proof of Florida residency when they pick up the tickets at any of the
Guest Relations locations at the Theme Park entrances or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. This can be done on or before the day you plan on entering the parks.
To prepare for your magical visit, you can create accounts on
My Disney Experience for your family. Once you have done that, you should be able to
connect with your family through the Family and Friends list, and then you can give your family member purchasing tickets permission to make plans for your kids. This way, when your family goes to buy tickets for your Mouseketeers, they will all be connected already, and the tickets can link easily to each child’s profile.
As my kiddos get older, I have started to give them each a
Disney Gift Card with a specific dollar amount allocated to each gift card. That way, when the kiddos would like to purchase souvenirs, they have a limit to how much they can spend, and it teaches them how to budget starting at an early age! Of course, this depends on the children's ages, but my Mouseketeers have fun doing this as it gives them a sense of independence.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the magic, Krystal! Have an enchanting visit.
Aena
