Despite the fact that Walt Disney never wanted any alcohol in his theme parks, drinking at Disney has become very popular among guests. Over at Walt Disney World Resort, drinking around the world at EPCOT has become a goal for many visitors. Every festival or special event brings limited-time food and drinks, and there are typically specialty beverages included.Now, seventy years after the opening of Disneyland, there isn’t a Disney park that doesn’t offer alcohol. Disneyland Park was the last to bring alcoholic offerings to guests, along with one of the most popular drinking spots at the resort.Credit: DisneyRelated: Guest Claims They Received “Nasty” Comments For Drinking at DisneyIn May 2019, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disneyland, bringing with it the park’s first bar, Oga’s Cantina. Guests can enjoy a unique drink while listening to DJ R-3X play some of the planet’s catchiest tunes.However, if you want to enjoy a drink reserved for the 21-and-over crowd, you’d better ensure you have the right kind of ID with you.In a since-deleted Reddit post, one Canadian guest shared their frustration after trying to enjoy a drink at Oga’s. According to the guest, they showed the bartender their provincial ID and a photo of their Canadian passport.Unfortunately, the bartender told the guest that he would need to show his actual passport if he wanted to buy an alcoholic drink. Angry, the guest said that Disney thinks, “The bar must be as important as an airport with the level of scrutiny they give you.”Credit: DisneyRelated: Oga’s Cantina Almost Had Pig-Faced Animatronic BartendersSadly, if the guest was looking for sympathy, he didn’t get any, which is probably why the OP (Original Poster) ended up deleting the post.While US visitors might not think about the type of ID required to drink at Disneyland, international visitors do not have that same luxury. California has very strict rules when it comes to serving alcohol, and Disney is not exempt from following state law.Many commenters were quick to chime in and let the OP know that it wasn’t Disney, it was state law.Neither a foreign driver license nor a photo of a passport are sufficient under California law to establish drinking age. This is not a Disney policy, this is California law. Unfortunately, many Canadian tourists do not know these laws. But, DLR cannot be faulted for following California law.Credit: DisneyRelated: More Alcohol Makes Its Way Into Disney’s Historically “Dry” Theme ParkOthers pointed out that the Disneyland website specifically states what kinds of IDs will be accepted to buy an alcoholic beverage and which ones won’t. The guest should have read the rules on the website before heading to the parks, just to make sure this exact issue didn’t arise.in fairness to Disney, they specifically have a section in the FAQ addressing this (this same sort of thing has popped up in the WDW sub)The Disneyland Resort website reads:Non-United States ResidentsOriginal passports are the only form of identification acceptable for Guests from outside the United States; non-United States driver’s licenses, ID cards, temporary ID cards and copies of ID cards are not acceptable.Credit: DisneyUnfortunately, Disneyland cannot change the rules about requiring international guests to provide their passports if they want to drink in the parks. It can be unnerving for some to walk around the park with their passport, but websites like Amazon offer different products to help keep your passport safe.One commenter said that California’s policy made sense, especially with how easy things like copies of IDs can be altered. So, as a word of warning, if you plan on traveling to Disneyland from out of the country, DO NOT leave your passport in your hotel room if you want to enjoy an adult beverage during your trip.Do you understand why the guest was frustrated that Disney bartenders would not accept a photo of their passport? Or do you blame the guest for not being aware of Disney’s policy and California state law? Do you think Disney should continue to offer so many different types of alcoholic beverages, or is drinking at the parks getting out of hand?
