Very!!!!!!!!!!! Excited...I'm moving to Lake Mary this weekend with my Wife and 3 little kids. For those of you who live in the area, how often do you visit the parks. When should I purchase the annual pass?

I would buy it on day 1 - nice way to mark the occasion.

Can I buy the pass in person at the park or does it have to be online or over the phone. I just want to make sure I get that excellent sticker.

Yep Mickey will gladly take the money via any of those methods

Congrats! Got my house on the market now. Hoping to move after the holidays.

So, do you get the Florida pass or is there some reason to keep the regular AP?

 

[Arty Cordova]

I don't believe there is such a thing as a Florida Annual Pass....am I wrong @wdwmagic

When I moved down here from up North last year I got mine within a month of moving. I go maybe once a month. So enough to have fun but not to often so I'm not burned out by it.

Yes there is, and there are different types of AP's for FL residents

There is a Fl resident annual pass. You can even pay for it by the month.

Multiple times a week!

Yep. There is a discounted rate for FL residents

Congratulations!! My only input would be to check discounts that might be available to you. For example: my brother works for a large hotel chain and the price for an AP via his family discount was LESS than the FL resident AP rate by roughly $80 each ... although the renewal rate was better direct through Disney by a little over $10 each.

When I lived in Orlando many years ago, I went at least once almost every week. 36 years later, I am still not burned out, even though I only get there a few times a year nowadays. Someday we'll move back there.

Thanks, thats good to know. I made a reservation at the Wave for lunch next Saturday and I'm going straight to guest services to buy my passes and spooky tickets. Can't tell you how excited I am.

Congrats on the move to Lake Mary, which I've read is the #1 place in Florida to raise a family. My nephew lives near there ... Winter Springs (ranked #2). Enjoy all your Disney time!!

Make sure you have proof of residency by then.

You might also think about getting the PAP if you think you'll be hitting the water parks. You only have to go a few times a year to make it worth the cost. I know that some get the Weekday Select or Seasonal Pass because they are cheaper, but they have blackout dates, and if we lived there, we would want the option to go any day of the year. Up to your budget really.

He should be able to get a Florida Driver's License once he knows his address.

Is that all you need (I'm not a resident, so I really don't know)?

A Florida DL is all you will need.
