Florida resident discount?

It%26#39;s me again. Looks like the grandparents may join us for at least part of our visit to the Disney area. My question is can we all take advantage of their Florida resident disount or only them? What about my children at least? I know the theme parks offer it but what about hotels?

We are looking at a few off site hotels with suites for late April but have not booked yet because our dates are still not final. I intend to start checking around again, but can anyone here recommend a nice place, preferably one that will offer a resident discount also. I was looking at regular suites and 1 bedrooms but it looks like we will need two bedrooms now (4 adults, 2 young children) so that changes things a bit. Thanks!

Florida resident discount?

I have a grandmother that lives in Petersburg and we were going to have her get our tickets but everyone that is comingin must have id that have a Florida address so you might not want to do that your grandparents would get a discount and they have to show there id everytime cause thay get a big discount for being Florida residents

Florida resident discount?

TimesTwo,

You have to show ID for the discount PER PERSON. I was goin to do this last Dec when i was there with my parents as I still have a Florida driving licence - in the end we bought used tickets for $35 into Epcot though, lol.

the grandparents can book the hotel room and get a florida residence discount.... hotels run these types of promotions all year long... some do... some dont just have to look it up. The grandparents in AARP, yall have AAA? both will provide additional discounts! check with the hotels you like best to see which has the best deal. sometimes you have to call because they wont post it on their website.

Vegas you don%26#39;t seem like your a nice person on every board you say something negative which isn%26#39;t nicce be nice

Poke,

Well said. Unfortunately there are a few of those on here, most of the things he says are intended on upsetting or %26#39;winding people up%26#39;..........best way to deal with people like that is to completely ignore them - he uses the website as a chatroom.

Have a great day :))

You can%26#39;t use a Florida resident discount at Disney unless you have a Florida drivers license or government issued ID so only your grandparents can get the tickets discounted. However,they can make the hotel reservation and get the Florida discount on that for all of you as long as they are there to check in with you. Check www.disneyworld.com to see what discounts are being offered for your vacation time,sometimes they are great,sometimes not.If you look at www.orlandoinfo.com,they list non-Disney hotels with florida resident discounts.But tickets,you%26#39;ll have to pay full price for.

My family likes the Staybridge Suites LBV very much,the two bedroom suites are quite spacious,have a full kitchen,reasonable price,convenient location and breakfast is included. The staff is very nice and I think yu%26#39;d find this to be a good choice. The Residence Inn is also very nice,a little more pricey though. If you wawnt to be closer to Disney,coonsider getting 2 one bedroom suites at the Doubletree Guest Suites at Downtown Disney-www.mousesavers.com has great prices on them and then you have convenience to Disney without paying Disney prices.

Thank you for your responses. Initially I was taken aback by Vegas%26#39; post at first but then decided to just let it roll. We have several family members and good friends in SE Florida and whenever we visit we find that most year round residents are very hospitable because they know us ';Tourons'; help keep their economy going! I also live and work in NYC so I know a thing or two about tourists myself.

I will check out the suite hotels that were mentioned and see if they offer resident or AARP discounts for the inlaws. My mother in law stayed in the Sheraton Vistana a few years ago and liked it, but the mixed reviews have me nervous. The suite will be on us so if we can take advantage of their resident discount to save some $ that would be nice. I was asking about the parks because I went to Disney many years while in college with a resident and she was able to buy the discounted tickets for both of us, they never asked for my ID. Long time ago though. Can they use their discount for my 4 year old twins? I am not sure how a preschooler would prove where they live anyway :).

times two.... You make a great point... why not use the ticket for them? but.... do not enter all together through the same turnstyle... or purchase from the same ticketer... they will catch on.

way to stick it to the man. :)

but really, i dont see why it wouldn%26#39;t work.
