Jan. 3rd, 2008 -- Via Press Release: Florida residents whose dream is to save money on Disney theme park visits can have it come true in early 2008. Walt Disney World Resort has kicked off the new year with a limited-time special offer that saves guests more than 20 percent off the price of a Florida Resident Disney Play 4 Days Pass -- a ticket that is a
good deal even when normally priced.

During January and February, Floridians can purchase a Play 4 Days Pass for $125 plus tax (the pass costs $105 plus tax for children ages 3-9). Then, for six months from first use, they can visit a Disney theme park on any four days. On each day of use, the guest can choose to visit either Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studios.

"What better way to begin 2008 than to give Florida residents a special ticket to come enjoy the kickoff of the 'Year of a Million Dreams’ celebration," said Jim Alessandro, senior vice president of marketing at Walt Disney World Resort. "And with new entertainment premiering throughout the spring and into the summer, this pass can become Floridians' ticket to be among the first to experience our new fun."

The special price is available through Feb. 29. Thereafter, the Florida Resident Play 4 Days Pass will be $159 -- still less than $40 a day to enjoy a Disney theme park experience.

The Disney Play 4 Days Pass is available for purchase by calling
407/WDW-4DAYS (939-4329). Florida Resident tickets are also available at Walt Disney World theme park ticket windows and Resort hotel locations, Florida AAA offices and Florida Disney Stores. Proof of Florida residency is required.
