Checking age of kids - ID required

[rogers6madhouse]

can anyone help

We are taking our twins who will be 10 whilst at Disney.

However they are very tall and look older.

Will anyone stop and ask us for ID re using the child ticket ( as they are 9 when we first enter the park)

Is it just easier to buy an adult ticket?

No one will ask for ID. DS turned 10 on our last visit and you should see the size of him! :wink:
Disney don't penalise you for having a 10th birthday whilst there. :thumbs:

Oh i am so glad to hear that WC :lol: :lol:

Just reading your tips guide it said to remember to bring passports/id to validate prepaid tickets.

Is this still required. Only for adults???
Knowing me I would lose / ruin the passports and be stuck in Florida ( hey maybe thats not such a bad idea!!)

I would hate to turn up on 1st day and hit a problem - have to go back for passports etc. Could ruin holiday

Adults are going to need a photo ID.

OK - For every day of visit or just once?

Why only adults??

In the US most kids don't have passports to show for ID. Being from the midwest, I know very few adults who have passports. We use drivers' licenses as our ID.

if you're worried about carrying your passport around with you then take one of the newer photo driving licences. YOu should always keep a driving licence with you when driving anyway. :)

Us Brits dont yet have a photo ID driving licence - not yet law and they want a fortune to upgrade.

I was told we could drive using old paper ones - is that not true?

You can, but remember you'll need photo ID if you plan on purchasing any alcoholic beverages, it's just a good idea to have photo ID with you anyway.

I've been asked for ID when using credit cards or travelers' checks.
