Florida residency

[gerald72]

What kind of proof do I need for Florida residency?
Does owning a timeshare and paying Florida taxes give me Florida residency?
What ID do they ask for?

I just went thru this. The FL ID is no longer proof for FL residency discounts at the parks. You now need a FL Drivers license. This is not a Disney policy, it's true in all parks. If you have a FL ID already they will take it this year, but you can no longer get a FL ID at the DMV, you must get a FL Drivers License.

Owning a timeshare in Florida does not give you residency - if it did, half of the US would be FL residents. You're a resident of Pennsylvania, obviously!

Um, just to clarify - you can still get a Florida ID, I just did in January. You just have to supply more identification and proof of residency than in the past years. The info that I posted in the post prior to this was taken directly from the Florida DMV.

In my case, as a home owner in Florida w/ a morgage, car, taxes and utilities to pay I qualify as a FL resident (plus I live there 4-6 mounths out of the year). I also maintain a residence in NJ with a morgage, car, taxes and utilities so I'm also a resident of New Jersey. Believe me it is not that uncommon to maintain two dwellings, people like me are called "snowbirds" by the locals.

Hope this helps!
