Fl Resident Tickets?

[SAWYERMAW1]

I know an adult can't use a FL resident ticket without ID but we are having a FL resident friend meet us at Disney. Can they purchase FL resident tickets for my kids? I'm not sure they will be going to the parks with us. Can they purchase the tickets anywhere but the parks?

From Deb's website. And, while it does not address your specific question, the answer should steer you in the right direction.

My aunt and uncle live in Florida. Can they buy my park tickets and give them to me as a present?

It depends on what they are buying you. If they purchase regular PH/PHP tickets, then yes they can. If they purchase a ticket that is only available to Florida Residents, then no they can't. Florida Resident tickets are sold as vouchers and can only be used by a Florida resident. They cannot be gifted to an out-of-stater. This voucher must be turned in at Guest Relations along with a valid Florida ID in order to be used. In the event an out-of-stater presents a Florida Resident voucher without a Florida ID, Disney will offer you a credit for the price of the Florida Resident ticket that you can apply towards the cost of purchasing a regular park admission media.

Gail ... did you REALLY mean to post all that ticket info for one FL resident question??

To answer the FL resident thing ... Florida Resident tickets are only available to actual Florida Residents and can not be purchased for out of state family or friends. So, the short answer is "no."

In order to have the kids use FL resident tickets, the kids will need proof of Florida residency, or your FL friend will have to claim the kids as her own as they're going through the turnstile. If your FL friend does not accompany you, and your kids don't have their own IDs, the person at the turnstile will ask to see YOUR ID, since you're the adult. If your ID is not from FL, but your kids are using FL resident tickets, that will cause questions. I suppose you could create a story about where your kids live vs. where you live, or ask your kids to say that your FL resident friend is really their mom, but it's probably not worth the money you'll save.

No, I sure did not. Sorry about that.
