I am a Central Florida native and have been dragged kicking and screaming
several times in the last ump-teen years to the theme parks here...big
UGH....the Bio-metric thumb print scanners at said parks.....NOW in use by
all of them(am pretty sure all of them) will negate the Florida resident
benefit one could get away with in recent past years. Best thing to try
and do is contact a travel agent and see if they can get you a package
deal(tix,hotel,etc.)
Good Lcuk
