florida residents

Can my parents since they are florida residents buy my kids' park passes? They are 16, 12, and 7. How do they do it? Can it be done in advance?

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yes they can. They just by them and provide the kids information and use their home address for the little ones.

I am unsure if indentification would be required for the 16yo since they might have a license.

They would have to pick them up though--proof of id is required. Even when you buy on line in advance since you have to pick up the actual ticket medium at the resort. You would not be able to pick them up since you do not have the Fla ID and it is required to be shown when the tickets are picked up.

Is it much of a discount for florida residents? We have a dear friend who is working in florida and I thought about getting him to get our park tickets.

Its a huge savings but adults can't buy for other adults because they ask you to show proof of residence.

Adults can buy for minors, but you can't use some one else's address unless you have thier address on your driver's license. And I guess any discount is better than nothing.
You can't pick up tickets for another adult either. I bought two annual passes over the phone, and I was trying to surprise Kari. Thankfully I had her student ID from UofMiami in my wallet, so the guest relations lady was nice enough to give them to me.

9/05: Utility statements are no longer accepted as proof of residency.

Each adult in the party is required to have a Florida ID.

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

Having said that it is more than likely that you would get by with having your parents buy FL resident tickets for your non-FL resident children. Is it 'right' to do so..... your choice.

The official rules are:

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 Florida Voter’s Registration Card with the Guest's name and address with corresponding photo ID
* Valid Florida University / College Student ID
* Valid Military ID stationed at one of the Florida Military Bases listed below:

(Military Base Names deleted)

In other words, if they do not actually purchase the tickets at a WDW ticket window they will receive a voucher/exchange certificate. When that is presented to be converted to an actual ticket is when the ID has to be provided.
