Question About Florida Resident Tickets for a Minor

[caridillon]

Hi everyone! Has anyone dealt with this before? We have an upcoming trip where our niece—who is under 18 and a Florida resident—will be joining us for a few days. Can she use a Florida resident ticket if her parents buy it ahead of time, even though they won’t be traveling with us?

Proof of FL residency will be asked upon purchase and Disney is quite strict about this. Simply put… if their parents aren’t Floridian, they’re not eligible for the Florida only offers.

Only adults need to show proof of Florida residency, not minors

They are Florida residents, and as far as I know, they can purchase the tickets online and link them to her disney account - which I can see via Friends and Family and because she is on my room reservation. I'm worried about scanning into the park that first day, without her parents present.

Thank you for this! I think as long as her parents link them to her, we should be fine at the gate but just a bit worried about the first day gate

Ah, ok.

You are very welcome. If she has a magic band have her tickets linked to it and she will be good to go. They have Disney Discovery tickets on sale now so that can help out with pricing
