Discounted FL Resident Tix

[DizneyLizzy]

Hello! My parents are part-time FL residents (own property and a car registered in south FL, but technically full time residents of another state up north). This qualifies them to purchase FL resident Disney World tix, but from what I've read on the Universal website, it does not. Did I read that correctly? You have to have a FL ID to purchase resident tix at Universal? A few years ago my mom got a FL resident room discount at Sapphire Falls, and was never questioned about it. I didn't know if that was because she booked with a travel agent and paid with a credit card registered to her FL address. Sounds like they're stricter about tickets. Thanks a bunch!

Universal is much more strict about this than Disney, and their TM there are much more difficult to work with. None of that "be our guest" training there.

I have been able to show my mortgage and utilities bill, matching my name on my ID. But I have not purchased FL tickets since 2021. DS (over 18) had to battle with them and the employee finally allowed since they could see in the system he previously held a FL ticket. But they said he'd need proof next time. We now have his name on one of our utility bills. And yes we have FL address credit cards so the system doesn't kick payment out.

As I said it's been 5 years and they might have changed process again.
