Do any of you know how much or where to get WDW season passes? I have recently moved to Florida within driving distance to the parks and I am interested in maybe year long tickets. I have also heard that residents get some sort of discount on them. Any info?

There is a seasonal pass for florida residents that has black out dates during busiest times of the year. Such as christmas week until after new year, mid june to mid august, around easter school vacation. this is the most reasonable running around 180.00 for the year. You can also get a discount on a annual pass which has no blackout times this is around 290. for the year. The annual pass has free parking and the seasonal does not other than that they offer pretty much the same discounts at restaurants, shopping, tours, etc. Either is a good deal. You get a discount with renewal after the first year. If you belong to AAA you can get a discount by getting one there. Welcome to Florida, enjoy the beautiful weather !

Thanks for the info. I looked into the standard prices for the premium annual pass- was like $490!! The cheaper one for FL residents, does it include all the parks with water-parks? and how can I get one? Thanks.

The ones I discribed were seasonal and annual. they dont include the water parks. I'm sure there is a discount for residents for the premium annual also. Though i dont know what that is. If you go to the WDW sight they have a list of prices for Florida residents, just click on the florida resident icon. You can get them at the parks, just make sure you have proof of residency on you, or triple A or the disney stores down here. I'm sure you can also get one online at the WDW sight.

Thanks!

We currently have the Annual Pass. The seasonal pass is nice, but inevitably we end up going 2 or 3 times during the blackout dates, so the Annual Pass made more sense. Also, there are a few perks to having an Annual Pass, usually in the form of special events (like being among the first to ride a new atraction).
We don't go to DisneyQuest or Pleasure Island, so the Premium Annual Pass seems a bit too expensive for us. However, we have found that going to the water parks is fun and purchasing an Annual Pass and a Water Park Pass seperately saves a few bucks.
Right now they have the "Play Four Days" Pass. It's a four day (or four park) pass for Florida Residents for only $109. They have this offer twice a year, but it is only for a limited time.
Welcome to Florida!

If you plan on doing a bit of dining at WDW, you might want to also look into a Disney Dining card which gives you 20% off at most restaurants throughout the resort. The only exclusions that I can think of are The Chef's Table at Victoria and Alberts, Take out at Beaches and Cream and at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue it is only good at the 9:30pm show. It costs $75 but, it will pay for itself in no time.

I never knew there was a dining card! Where can I get that?

Very cool! Just in time for my renewal! Thanks for the info.
Is the card only good for one person or for a group?

[Disneypro]

If I remember correctly, it is good for either a table of 6 or less or 4 or less. I'd give the above number a call to be sure though
