Child's annual pass (Florida resident question)

[noname70]

Question reagrding my child's annual pass. We live in NY and have puchased AP's in the past. However, my parents are now full time Florida residents. I am a teacher and will be spending 2 months in Celebration this summer break w/my child. (You see where this is going :fork: )
If my parents took my child for an annual pass (Florida rate) would this work? Are there any ID requirements when purchasing (the child is too young for ID).

Yes this is breaking (or bending) rules but I'm not talking about my AP, just the child's. Can this be accomplished?:drevil:

I don't see why not.

I don't see how they would ask your parents for proof that their grandchild is permanently living with them since it is for FLA residents.

That being said, it's your conscience that you're dealing with. You admit to breaking the rules, so if you can do it, fine. Is it worth saving the difference on the price vs. you know what you're doing is wrong?

:wave:

I'm with Scott on this...I'm not going to tell you to break the rules. You've got to live with your decision if you can explain it to your child as to why it's right, then fine...do what you want to do.

BTW....this is not bending the rules, it outright breaking. Just because the child is too young for an ID, doesn't make it right because you can get away with it.

wHEN YOU BUY AN ANUAL PASS, DO THEY CHECK AN ID WHEN ENTERING THE PARK EVERYTIME?

no, just the finger scan along with everyone else.

The person purchasing the Florida resident for the child will be asked for their ID at the time of pass activation. It will generally never be asked for again. I have purchased Florida resident one day tickets for my daughters friends before (they were Fl residents but too young to have ID) and it has never been an issue.

Based on your post, you seem to see it as breaking or bending the rules. So, maybe you should just do what you feel is best and what you can live with.

Because Florida has so many people who live here for part of the year and elsewhere for the rest there are different residency requirements. For example, when I got my FL driver license for the first time I was asked if I was a perm or temp resident. Temp resident required two or more months but less than 12. The same holds true for insurance. Health insurance companies require notification if you will be in residence outside your current state for more than 30 days (not travelling but in residence in one state). Keeping that in mind, wouldn't two months qualify as a temporary resident?

Good question. It all comes down to how Disney defines "Florida resident".

Just my 2 cents, but as a Florida resident I resent the fact that out of town guests are trying to get our discount when they are not entitled to it. It's this kind of abuse that may just get our discount eliminated someday. I don't go to your state and lie to save a couple of bucks and I don't see why you should do it in mine. If money is that tight for you, perhaps you should not be buying Disney tickets at all. But if you must have them at least be honest about it. "Bending" the rules is STEALING!!!

I work at a movie theater, and I get teens who will be like "Um...one adult...and 4 kids...I'm...you know...babysitting...or whatever..."

I see right through them, especially when I see them run and high-five their very teenaged friends and pass out the discounted tickets...but I honestly don't care. I think my theater's tickets are overpriced, and don't mind giving out discounts, unless the guest is overly rude. I'm sure many cast members, especially the ones on the younger spectrum, feel the same way...They won't, of course, give out children's tickets to adults, but I'm sure they would feel no qualm selling a grandmother a Florida resident discounted childs annual pass for her grandchild, even if they had the sneaking suspicion that the grandchild lived out of state...just my 2 cents

And please excuse me if my post seems rambly, or whatever...I pulled an all nighter for school last night, and am a liiiiittle loopy....must be all of that rocket chocolate I had this morning...:lookaroun

can't say that I disagree with you. About time the Floridians get a price break on something in our state. :lol:

 

[banimall]

I have an even better one then, what is the ethical decision if as a parent you bought an AP and don't plan on renewing but your child wasn't turning 3 until you've had your pass for 7 months. Do you buy a separate ticket each time you go with your now 3 year old or buy them an annual pass they can only use for 5 months or option 3 tell them she's still 2 1/2?

Ya, we have to "put up" with Disney all year we deserve the discount!

Some may argue $450 per night for a hotel room is stealing.

Uh huh, but no one forces you to pay that... If you knowingly, and willingly lie to somebody to receive money off, no matter what lies you tell yourself to justify it, it is still a lie... It is still morally wrong. If Disney can charge $450 a night at a hotel room, then so be it, that's capitalism... If you lie to save money that you do not deserve, that's criminal.

Actually in this case it would be civil-not criminal :lol:
