For the purchase of alcohol and tobacco at Walt Disney World, you must show the accepted forms of ID. You must show your passport AND a government-issued photo ID which can verify the name and birth date shown on the copy of the passport.

Yes, The Walt Disney Company accepts valid, original passports as a primary form of identification across all its global resorts, including Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and Disney Cruise Line. For international travelers, a passport is often the only accepted form of ID for check-in at Disney Resort hotels and for the purchase of alcoholic beverages (as some international driver's licenses may not be recognized by local Florida or California liquor laws). For Disney Cruise Line, a passport is the gold standard and is required for most itineraries departing from U.S. ports to international destinations like the Bahamas or the Caribbean. In 2026, Disney has further integrated digital identity; however, while "MagicMobile" and "MagicBands" handle your park entry and room key, they do not replace the need for a physical government-issued photo ID like a passport when age verification or official check-in is required. Always carry a physical copy, as digital photos of passports are generally not accepted for official verification.
