I am a FL resident, my DH is not- FL resident ticket?

[CandleontheWater]

Here is my question, I am a resident of the state of Florida, my Dh (who is military) is a resident of the state of CT. Due to some recent changes in the law, military spouses do not have to change residency every time they move, and like a military member, can keep their original residency (I'm just laying this out so you know that I'm following the rules).

When we were stationed in FL, my Dh could get the Florida resident tickets by showing his orders, but now we are living in Virginia.

I know it is OK for me to buy my son a FL resident ticket, because he is my minor child, but can I buy my DH a FL resident ticket also, because he is part of my immediate family, or is that a no-no.

I don't want to break any rules, and I'm only asking because I know that I can buy my DH a DVC discounted AP even though his name is not on the deed, because he is my husband and therefore a direct family member.

I wasn't sure if the direct family member rules also applied to FL resident tickets or if it was only for DVC.

I told my DH time and time again to switch his residency when we were stationed in Florida, but he wanted to stubbornly cling to his "northerner" roots. I'm betting now that he sees the money he could have saved, he'd rethink his stance!

Everyone who possesses a FL resident ticket must have a FL resident ID to be able to use the ticket.

ETA:
If you do not have a valid FL resident ID you can provide one the following as proof

Monthly mortgage statement
Florida vehicle registration or title
Homeowner's insurance policy or bill
Automobile insurance policy or bill
Utility bill
Mail from a financial institution, including checking, savings, or investment account statement
Mail from a Federal, State, County or City government agency

If you have any of these with both your names on it from the state of FL, then you qualify for a FL ticket. Otherwise, you cannot get him a ticket.

We have a mortgage for the house we own in Florida, and homeowners insurance for that house, it all has DH's name on it, so I could just bring documentation for that? That would be awesome.

Thanks, I know this is a convoluted situation, but I knew someone on the DIS could set me straight!

That would work!

Residency really isn't that big of a deal - as mentioned, you just have to live somewhere and "prove" it mildly, not in a major legal manner.

In the same year I had a FL Resident AP, spent the summer in Paris as a student - got a DLP "Francillian" AP because as a resident of Paris in a dorm I was entitled to it - and then moved to southern California in the fall for grad school and got a Disneyland resident AP.

Then Disney came out with the Premier Pass ans upgraded me to that because I owned passes on both coasts. I think I should have gotten a gold star for still having a valid pass for Paris too.

On my last trip I was able to get my friend to purchase fl resident tickets for me. I simply have her the money and she got it no problem. I've looked through te threads and it seems like it's harder to do this apparently than I thought it was for me this one instance.
Why is this the case?
It was simple enough for her to just pay for it and give them to me and get in the parks no problem.
(This wasn't my idea btw it was hers)

OP, if your buying APs, just get the DVC APs. The price is the same.

If you have a joint bank account with the Florida address on it, just print or bring the first page of the bank statement. That's all you need.
