SoCal Select Annual Pass question...

[Lights_Out]

Hi all, I've tried searching for this question, but didn't come up with anything.
I will apologize in advance for asking yet another AP question

I am a Southern California citizen... born and raised... driver's license and everything! haha, but my friend isn't. Would I be able to purchase one for the both of us?
I don't know if this is "breaking the rules" or anything (probably is ) but the SoCal Select AP is so much cheaper than the 3 day park hopper... (btw, I do know about the blockout dates and it doesn't really matter )

Thank you to anyone that helps!

No you can't buy a socal AP for a non socal resident.

What are the requirements for being a SoCal resident then? In other words, what is required to prove that you're a SoCal resident?

You must be a SoCal resident in zip codes 90000-93599, and have photo identification proving such. I did, however, plan to go to the parks when I first moved here to San Diego but hadn't received my CA driver's license yet, so I called the park and asked, and they told me that utility bills or voter registration with the address would also serve as proof, but I ended up getting my license right before the trip.

Hm... my friend is actually living with me (in SoCal) for about 4-5 months... does that not count?

Thanks!

The utilities would have to be set up in their name. Now you're getting into tricky territory lol. A SoCal pass is $144. A 3-day hopper is currently $184. If whatever you have to do to make them a SoCal resident is less than $40, then maybe it's worth it, but if not, I'd just suck it up and get them the 3-day.

Edited: Didn't know the sex of your friend

Only if he has the specified proof (documents that sonnyjane listed) that he's a resident at your address. Sorry! We had to have our driver's licenses and also used our kid's passports for them.

If your friend is under 18, then its irrelevant, since Disneyland is not allowed to ask for ID for minors, so there the residency that counts is the residency of the purchaser.

If over 18, they need a piece of official mail or official paperwork with their name on it combined with a valid, government-issued ID. It can be a utility bill, cable bill, water bill, or a copy of an apartment lease. Disney also accepts a school ID of a university or college within the qualifying zip codes.

Yeah, you're right, but I would've just loved to have the SoCal Select Pass if we ever decide to go more during the time he's staying with us (He's a Disneyland freak too! )
Well the utility bill is in my parent's name
I guess there's no hope
We'll just have to dish out the extra money for his tickets, hahaha.

He's over 18. Utility bill + government-issued ID... I see.
Thanks for the information!

And thanks everyone for all the advice
