Hi guys couple questions: We have family in florida,can they purchase disney tickets for us and we use them,or as they residence tickets would we need to show id?
Also single day islands of adventure is what price as ive seen a daft amount for single day entrance,we dont want to go universal been like 3 times before.
Magic kingdom at £82 each is just so much more than when we went 3 yrs ago im sure?

We have Florida residence tickets and had to show photo ID and proof of residence with our names on (utility bill etc) when collecting. They are all computerised now - with wrist band etc and linked to your fingerprint so I think you would have to get your own tickets.

Sue,

How do you order them and where do you collect them from ?

I can provide the photo ID and Utility Bill but if order on-line I would have to pay with my UK credit card which is of course registered to my UK address and i would think it would not accept a UK address.

Thanks.

You can order online and use a UK card. You will get a voucher that you have toexchange and show prrof of residency/ownership at that time.

As the ability to purchase Florida residents tickets was given by the parks I would hate to see it being abused and then possibly withdrawn from everybody. You need proof for each person over 18. So if you have adult children it may be worth adding them to one of your accounts if you can.

You may find you need to have access to a virtual private network (VPN) to see Florida residents prices as if you use something like Internet explorer it will keep reverting back to Disney.co.uk (I use Ultrasurf) The good thing is that when you pay online and print your voucher it gives you a confirmation number you can then use to book your fast passes. When we went in December I had done them before we left but we didnt want to activate them until part way through our stay so we will be able to use them at the beginning of December this year.When I bought some purchases in Disney Springs she allowed me the discount even though I hadnt actually got the tickets yet. The good thing about the Resident one is that even the cheapest weekday select now includes parking. ($20 a day
I actually find it easier to load the funds onto my Fairfx card and pay in $ because then I know exactly what exchange rate I am gettin and how much I am paying rather than wait to find out rate and any possible hidden fees from credit card. plus of curse it is then paid for in advance.

Or just buy them over there

. Getting residents passes has always being sketchy but I think in recent times they have made the requirements more specific.

What ID is acceptable. I have a driving licence and passport which both have a photo but of course they are both issued in the UK. I have utility bills for my property which have my name on them and the address of my house but they only have my name on them, not my wife.

I have managed to access the Florida residents web page on my laptop here in the UK but I have not tried to purchase tickets yet.

If we were to buy the passes in the US where can they be bought ? I seem to recall that there is a facility to buy tickets at Disney Springs.

Hi,
to get residence tickets you would need to be a resident or own a home in Florida. You need to show utilty bills for the home you have. Have a look at our ticket prices. Disney are cheaper if you 3 or 4 day passes. For Islands of adventure it all depends if you want to ride the new Hogwarts Express attraction.

1 day no park to park access $114.49
1 day park to park $157.29
14 day unlimted to both parks $218.00
tax included.
