Me and two of the kids have annual passes. My 15 year old does not like doing things with the family so we didn't get him a pass. Now his school is going up to Disneyland and I wanted to get him the Costco pass - as we live in So Cal and it's good for 4 trips and maybe I can get him back up for another trip.

Will they let him in without ID? There will be chaperones with So Cal IDs but will they make an adult sign? How does it work?
 
Well, you are supposed to supply proof of residency on that one if asked. It's possible that they won't even ask, but I think you're wise to be prepared.

We just got DS's report card and it has our full address on it. Maybe you could send him with a copy of his report card, or any official communication from his school that has your zip code on it, and his student ID. (I assume his student ID has his picture on it?) I would think that would be adequate for a teen who is not traveling with a parent, doesn't have a DL yet, and is hopefully not receiving stacks of official bills in his name. ;)

Honestly I think they'd probably be OK accepting a chaperones' ID too, but at 15 would your DS prefer to handle it on his own rather than needing an adult to vouch for him?

The last time we used multi day passes with a place for a signature it wasn't until our last day that we ran across a CM who actually asked us to sign them. I don't know if they're any stricter about that now or not, but either way that shouldn't be a big deal, he can just sign his own.

Good Luck getting him back to the parks with you. At that age sometimes you just have to twist their arm a bit to get them there, but once they are, they usually have a great time. :thumbsup2
 
Thanks for the reply!

The guy at Costco wasn't very clear - he said that we would trade in the ticket for a different ticket that would be printed with his name on it - and that if it was a child then the adult would need to show ID. So if I'm not there - my concern is that the chaperones name would be on it... and then if I were to go back they wouldn't let him in with me? Does that make sense? That's why I'm confused.
