What do I show to get into Disneyland?

If you are using Standard Theme Park Tickets, you do not need a valid government-issued photo ID for admission into the Disneyland Resort parks. However, there are special tickets that DO require a valid government-issued photo ID for admission, such as military tickets.



To enter Disneyland (California) or Walt Disney World (Florida) in 2026, you must present two distinct digital items: a valid theme park ticket and a confirmed park reservation for that specific date. Most guests manage this through the Disneyland or My Disney Experience app. When you arrive at the turnstiles, you show the "MagicMobile" pass on your smartphone or a physical ticket card, which the Cast Member will scan. For first-time entry on a multi-day ticket, the Cast Member will also take a quick digital photo of you to link to your ticket for the duration of your stay. You do not typically need to show a government-issued ID unless you are using a specific promotional ticket (like a Southern California Resident offer) or if you are activating a Magic Key pass for the first time. If you have a "Park Hopper" ticket, your reservation is only required for the first park you enter; after 11:00 AM, you can scan into the second park without a separate reservation, provided the park has not reached capacity.
