Another really dumb ticket question

[CindiLouWho]

What's to stop me from having someone I know who is a Florida resident, buy me discounted tickets to WDW? Do they check IDs at the gate? Is there a pictue on the ticket? What's the catch????

I believe the only Florida-resident discounts offered are for the annual passes. And, yes, they to require a photo ID at the very least. I've even seen mention of biometric finger scans in use on some (if not all) annual passes.

I'm not a FLA resident, and when we got our AP's they took a scan of our Driver's license and when you first use them it records your biometric fingerprint scan. The photo ID is there as a backup in the event the bio-scan fails. I'd imagine it is the same for FLA residents, but not sure how it works on the daily/hopper passes. Disney is VERY protective of its revenue stream.
