Overview

• Under California law, non-US residents must present original passports to purchase alcoholic beverages at Disneyland Park, and neither foreign driver’s licenses nor passport photos suffice.
• A Canadian guest was denied service at Oga’s Cantina on August 1 after offering only a photo of their passport and a provincial ID.
• The guest’s Reddit post describing the refusal was subsequently deleted after attracting widespread commentary and corrections about California’s requirements.
• Disneyland’s official FAQ clearly states that original passports are the only acceptable form of ID for international visitors seeking alcohol, a policy driven by state regulations rather than Disney’s own rules.
• Visitors and commentators are urging Disneyland to provide clearer pre-arrival guidance and recommend carrying passports in discreet travel pouches to avoid service refusal.
