FL Resident prices?

[everylastbreath]

Just curious, can a friend who lives in Florida get someone tickets for WDW @ resident prices or is this only for people who actually live in Florida?

Only for people who live in Florida and must be verified with a driver's license, state ID or something similar.

You have to be a Florida resident with a valid Florida drivers license.

FL tickets can only be used by people with proof of Florida residency (drivers license, military orders to a FL base, utility bill in your name to a FL address). There is a really good sticky at the top of the Theme Parks forum "all about tickets"

Just to clarify. The Florida resident must show ID not only when the tickets are purchased but also when they are first used and "tagged" with the fingerscan. So it's not even possible for a friend to buy passes and then hand them off to you.

These are the official rules:

Florida Resident tickets are only available to actual Florida Residents and cannot be purchased for out-of-state family or friends.

An adult Florida Resident may purchase Florida Resident media for more than one Florida Resident from any location that provides an exchange certificate and not an actual ticket.

Children under the age of 18 are not required to provide proof of Florida residency if they are accompanied by an adult with valid proof of Florida residency

If the Guest has an exchange certificate, a valid form of Florida ID will be required when the exchange certificate is redeemed for the actual pass

One ticket only per valid proof of Florida residence (a Florida resident may buy tickets for minors in the party)

Exchange Certificates may say:

"After sale..., may not be transferred except as a gift." This means that the certificate may be given as a gift, so long as the recipient meets the defined Florida residency criteria.

"Purchase and redemption of this exchange certificate requires proof of Florida Residency."

The following items are the only documents accepted as proof of Florida Residency:
* Valid Florida State Drivers License
* Valid Florida State issued ID Card with Florida Address
