What ID does Disney accept?

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.



For guests visiting Disney World or Disneyland in 2026, the "required ID" usually pertains to proving residency for ticket discounts or for purchasing alcohol. For general entry, you do not typically need a photo ID if you have a valid digital ticket or MagicBand. However, for Florida or California Resident tickets, you must present a valid state-issued driver's license, state ID card, or a military ID with a local address. For the purchase of alcoholic beverages, Disney is very strict and requires a valid government-issued photo ID that includes your date of birth. This includes a U.S. state driver's license, a U.S. territory ID, a U.S. or foreign government-issued passport, or a Nexus card. Note that digital IDs (mobile licenses) are becoming more accepted in 2026, but it is always recommended to carry your physical ID as a backup, especially for international guests whose foreign driver's licenses might not be accepted without a secondary passport verification.
