College Student = Resident?

My son is attrnding college in Datona Beach and we are in Ohio. Does he qualify as a resident in Disney's eyes since he lives on campus for 9 monthes out of the year?

As far as I could guess- no. Does he have a Florida license?

I know when I went to school in VA (and was still a resident of NY) I wasn't permitted to buy a resident Busch Gardens Williamsburg pass.

As a college student, you're not a resident of the state you're in.

Since he has a legitimate address in Florida I would imagine he is eligible to get a Florida ID from DMV. Once he has that there shouldn't be an issue with Disney.

You should not have you "guess" with Google available.

I'd read that college studends in FL are considered residents for Disney purposes, so this is just one of the first references I came across on a search. There are many more.

No need to involve the DMV... a college ID will do it.

Proof of Florida residency is required -- you must provide any one of the following:

Florida driver's license

Florida state-issued ID card (must have Florida address)

Florida voter's registration card with corresponding picture ID

Florida college/university ID

Florida-based military ID

Thanks to all the early birds or night owls whichever you may be for your quick responses. I was hoping the college ID would do the trick.

As long as he has a college ID he is a resident but while he can use his id for FL resident room and passes for himself he can't use them towards your passes. He gets the rate and can get the room but not a FL resident pass for you (each person needs there own id for a pass).
