What forms of ID are accepted at Disney World?

The following count as accepted forms:
  • Valid Florida Driver's License with Florida address.
  • Valid Florida state-issued ID card that has a Florida address.
  • Valid Florida-based military ID.




For standard park entry, a physical ID is generally only required when activating an Annual Pass or a Florida Resident ticket for the first time. However, for purchasing alcohol, Disney World is extremely strict. Accepted forms of ID include a valid U.S. Driver's License, a U.S. State ID card, a Military ID, or an original Passport. For international guests (non-U.S. citizens), you are required to present your original Passport; a foreign driver's license is not accepted on its own. If you do not want to carry your original passport, Disney policy allows you to show a copy of your passport (digital or paper) as long as it is accompanied by another government-issued photo ID. Digital IDs, such as those in Apple Wallet, are increasingly common but may not be accepted at every location, so carrying physical backup is highly recommended in 2026.
