Florida Resident Ticket dilemma

[Laurajeremy]

My brother is a FL resident- if he buys his daughters their FL resident tickets (under 18) and I go to pick them up- is there going to be an issue? as I am not a FL resident?
Any advice?

I don't see how you'd be able to get these for him.

you have to show fl id in order to pick up fl resident tickets. You can get away with not having a fl license but having a bill in your name with a fl address and they still need a photo id it just doesnt have to be a fl one. My parents are snow birds and they show their ny license and their utility bill from within the last two months with their name and their fl house address.

wait i just re read and i know for my kids under 18 i didn't have to show any residency for their tickets, only for people over 18.
being a fl resident I could technically get tickets with my fl discount for kids under 18 even if they are not fl residents.

Most discounted tickets require proof to obtain the discount(DVC, FL resident, AP, Armed Forces, etc.) and to pick up the tickets at a ticket window. Since you have nothing showing you are a FL resident, I can't see it happening.

Also I have needed an ID anytime I pick up tickets I have ordered. I don't think they would be to keen on the ides of you picking up somebody elses order. How would they know it is your brothers order?

Yes ... there will be an issue. You won't be able to pick them up. If he buys them online, he'll only get a voucher, and that voucher will require that he show valid Florida ID in order to get them.

Here's the Disney verbiage: All Florida Resident tickets, including Magic Your Way Tickets, Florida Resident Weekday Select, Seasonal, Annual, Premium Annual, Water Park After 2 pm and Epcot After 4 pm Passes, require valid proof of Florida Residency per adult at the time of purchase and certificate redemption.
Children under the age of 18 are not required to provide proof of Florida residency provided they are accompanied by an adult with valid proof of Florida residency.

see this is what I can do bc i have a proof of residency but you do not. I would call and ask disney. as the ticket is not for you but for a minor

The reply you'd get from a "phone CM" would likely be worthless.

The phone CM's just don't have good info regarding actual park operations...
but, that seldom stops the bad info from flowing.


(Sorry, but that's just the way it is.)

you dont really need much to prove florida resident.... do the kids have a bank account or anything like that?? becuase if they just bring a bank statement or even a report card should be good enough. my sister who stays with me sometimes just has a cell phone bill come to my house and prints it offline and they take that.

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
* Valid Military ID stationed at one of the Florida Military Bases listed below:
(List of bases removed as unneeded)

For Part-Year Residents the following original documents are acceptable.

Note that fax and photocopies are not acceptable, that bills and mail cannot be more than two months old, that PO Box addresses are not allowed, and items related to Time Shares are not permitted.

Must have a driver's license or state photo ID card from another state, or a non-US Passport and at least one of the following items which does show a Florida address:
* Monthly mortgage statement
* Current homeowner's insurance policy or bill, current automobile registration, insurance policy or bill or current utility bill (Power/Phone/Cable/Water).
* Statement from a financial institution showing checking, savings or investment information or mail from a Federal or Florida State, County or City government agency.

You will not be able to pick them up.

Just last month, I took one of my grandsons (who is a FL resident) and they made me provide my own FL drivers license to pick up his AP. I had a photocopy of his mother's drivers license with me just in case, but they said the person picking it up must be a FL resident so they only needed my ID.

My brother could go pick up the tickets so that would satisfy that requirement- once he picks them up will they be regular tickets? so there wouldn't be an issue at the gate?

When my cousin visits (Non Florida resident-with a regular ticket), she takes her niece (Florida resident with an active FL AP) to the parks.

Once the child's ticket (AP in this case) has been purchased, activated and used for the first time (with a Florida Resident adult using a FL ID,) the subsequent uses by the child should be fine.

But, the OP's question is about a child's ticket being activated and used for the first time WITHOUT a Florida Resident adult using a FL ID.

The difference is that (from the info presented) the child will
not have USED the AP for the first time until the non-FL resident takes the child.
THAT will likely be the problem.

As with most of these little "situations,"
the devil is in the DETAILS.

Which would explain WHY I posted what I did-
When my cousin visits (Non Florida resident-with a regular ticket), she takes her niece (Florida resident with an active FL AP) to the parks.

Perhaps the "devil" is in the readers version-

Since my post was not clear to some-if the brother "picks" them up at the gate and takes the child into a park-(showing is ID) the childs pass is ACTIVE and the op would be able to take the child(ren) to the parks.

That's exactly what I said.
But, there is no indication that the child will have used the new AP's at the time the FL resident brother will have "picked them up."

but would that even matter? they dont check id's at the gate and the kids finger print would just be tied to the pass

A guest's ID is very often checked at the front gate upon the FIRST USE of a resident AP.


The reason is, otherwise FL residents could purchase and pick up any number of tickets and then sell them to (or offer them to) non-FL resident family members or friends. That is against the FL resident ticket policy.

Will the ID of the adult bringing in the child using the AP for the first time be checked at the gate that day?

We don't know.
