Getting In
· Rollins ticket prices: 1 Day / 1 Park $60
· Florida Resident tickets and annual passes:
As a college student in the state of Florida, you are officially a “Florida Resident.” While other theme parks still allow you to buy discounted tickets and passes with just your college ID, Disney has recently changed their policies. In order to enjoy the fantastic discounted rates so you can visit your local theme parks, you need to set up a bank account with your Rollins address. Bank of America has a great program where you deposit $25 and, by promising to never talk to a teller again, you are never charged any fees. Bring a printed or electronic copy of your first
bank statement with your Rollins address to any Disney ticket window, and you will be able to purchase anything with a Florida-only discount.
