    I purchased my tickets online and my profile recognizes me as a florida resident. Do i still need to go to guest services to activate my tickets?

    Hiya Diana,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Florida Resident ticket question! After almost two decades as a Florida resident myself, I can tell you it’s such a dream being able to visit Disney World on a whim—whether it’s for a quick afternoon stroll down Main Street, or a weekend getaway filled with family and pixie dust.

    Now, let’s jump right into the magic!  If you’ve already verified your Florida residency online or through the My Disney Experience app using a valid Florida driver’s license, state-issued ID card, or Florida-based military ID, you’ll be happy to know that you can skip Guest Relations and head straight to the parks! Just tap your MagicBand, MagicMobile pass, or physical ticket card, and you’re ready to make some magical memories.

    Since you’ll be visiting in December, you’re arriving at one of the most enchanting times of the year! The parks and resorts will be shimmering with holiday lights, festive garlands, and a little extra sparkle in every corner.  Be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog for updates on special holiday events, limited-time treats, and even New Year’s Eve celebrations—they always have the most up-to-date scoop on everything merry and magical happening across the resort.

    Diana, I hope this helps you prepare for your upcoming visit! If you have any additional questions, feel free to visit us again. 

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
