I'm purchasing a Florida resident AP for my nephew. He lives in Florida, but he's 12, so he doesn't have a photo ID. His school ID has his photo and the name of his school on it, but not the address. He doesn't have the same last name as I do.
My question is this...when I take him to go activate the pass, are they going to give my a hard time at the turnstiles? How can I "prove" he's a Florida resident?
I asked this question twice to Disney, and in typical Disney fashion these days, received two separate answers. One cast member (at an Epcot ticket window) said it would be no problem, they may ask to see my ID, but not his. Another cast member (at MK guest relations) told me something completely different. He said that he absolutely needed to prove he lived in Florida and suggested I ask his parents for one of their bills to show. I will not ask his parents for a copy of their utility bill as that's none of my business (and it's a strange thing to ask for...) so that option is kind of out.
I'm not trying to pull a fast one on anyone, the kid legitimately lives here. His parents work a lot, and I end up watching him often when school isn't in session, and I want to take him to the parks.
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing and know what their policy is? It's most frustrating that I got two different answers from two different cast members- nothing worse than having employees not being all on the same page.
