3. Florida Residents Deals on Disney World Annual Passes
Florida Residents can enjoy the magic of Disney all year long with an Annual Pass. These passes allow entrance into each of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks, but often include limitations such as blockout dates.
Walt Disney World offers a discounted monthly payment option to Florida residents who purchase new Disney World Annual Passes. New Annual Passes can now be purchased at any theme park ticket booth or Guest Relations location, or you can set up your monthly payment program at disneyworld.com/payments.
The Disney Pixie Dust Pass for Florida Residents Only
Residents of Florida can purchase the Disney Pixie Dust Pass for just $19 per month, plus a $205 down payment. Monthly payments are based on the balance remaining after a one-time charge of $205 at the time of purchase. You will make the first payment on, or shortly after, the purchase date.
If you want to pay in full, you can pay a one-time charge of $399 for the pass.
Check additional terms and conditions before purchasing.
The Annual Passes are designed to bring a special kind of magic tailored just for you. In addition to park admission, you’ll also receive other perks. And you can customize your experience with add-ons like Water Park and Sports (+$99) and Disney PhotoPass Downloads (+$99).

In the past, other special passes were offered to Florida residents, such as an EPCOT After 4PM pass for evening hours, and a Weekday Select pass that provides savings in exchange for blocking weekend admission. Those sales are currently suspended and it’s unclear if they will resume. Your Disney travel agent know about all the latest discounts news and can advise of any new pass deals that might become available.
4. Walt Disney World Water Park Deals for Florida Residents
As a Florida resident, you can enjoy special rates on select water parks at Walt Disney World Resort. With so much to see and do, Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water parks are the perfect destinations to cool off and have fun.
Current Florida Resident Water Park Ticket Deals
While Disney’s Blizzard Beach is currently closed, residents of Florida can still splash into magic at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.
There are currently no water-park only deals, but the Multi-Day theme park ticket deals for Florida Residents often include the ability to add water parks at a discounted rate.

Florida Residents can Splash Down at Disney's Water Parks
5. Disney Dining Discounts for Florida Residents
In the past, Disney has offered discounts to Florida residents on dining. One such program is/was called Tables in Wonderland.
Until 2021, Florida residents could join Tables in Wonderland for $175 a year. Sadly, the program has been suspended, and Disney has not yet indicated a return date. We are hopeful it will resume shortly and want to include the information below in case it does.
What is/was the Tables in Wonderland program?
Florida residents can/could benefit from Tables in Wonderland’s discount dining program, which offers a 20% discount on food and beverages (including alcohol) at over 100 restaurants and lounges at Disney World parks and hotels.
In addition to 20% off food and beverages, membership includes complimentary resort/hotel parking (including valet parking) at resort restaurants, reimbursement for theme park parking at theme park restaurants, and invitations to exclusive member-only events (such as the Chef’s Table Experience at the Contemporary Resort).
A Tables in Wonderland purchase is/was valid for one year following its date of purchase.
The member must be present and must provide the discount card when ordering.
There are blackout dates for Tables in Wonderland, including holidays such as Mother’s Day, Easter Sunday,4th of July, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.
Again, we hope Disney resumes the Tables in Wonderland program OR offers a worthy replacement for Florida residents shortly.

If neither of these options appeals to you, don’t worry. In-person verification of Florida residency via a valid state-issued photo ID will still be available at Vacation Planning windows.
