Has anyone had experience with this?

Based on everything I've read so far on the DMV site, I would think that you would have to start all over with written, vision and road tests since the Valid-in-Florida Only license was discontinued a few years ago. However, it would be wise to get the answer directly from the DMV office and not from my educated guess. You can find the phone number of your closest office at http://www.flhsmv.gov/offices/.
