Do you travel with your Passport to Disney?

[NancyIL]

To answer the OP's question: no.

 

[Hopefully]

I always fly with my Passport. I feel better

I travel domestically with my passport (or passport card) every single time. Even though it's a domestic flight from Puerto Rico, every possible diversion airport before you reach Florida is international.

Not to mention I don't want the TSO checking my ID to look at my address.

If you fly, I'm pretty sure the TSA already knows your address.

Having seen my DHS travel dossier (an easy FOIA request), I'm quite certain they don't But if that's what was redacted, then what they know is an address, but not my address.

Not if you live in an RV as I do with no permanant address other than a PO Box

We all travel with our passports to include me, my DD and both my DD's and their spouses and children. We generally only use them to cruise, but we carry them as backup. My one DD uses them everytime the kids fly. The girls (6 & 4) like handing the TSA agent their boarding passes and PP.

Id for children under 18 for domestic travel is unnecessary and providing them to TSA agents just slows the line.

Although I don't fly domestically with my passport (and still don't), there was one instance when I wished I had my passport.

When my daughter worked for the airlines, I could fly free on buddy passes as long as there were seats available. Once, I was in Los Angeles, ready to take a midnight flight home to Cincinnati. However, there was an unexpected last minute surge in tickets bought for that flight, and I was shut out. I had the option of flying home on a flight that left a half hour later. It would have necessitated a plane change, but I'd still be home by early morning.

One problem...the plane change was in Mexico. Without a passport, I couldn't do it.

My husband and I brought our passports on a recent trip to New England - just in case we decided to drive across the border into Canada. We didn't, so they weren't used. It would be unusual for me to decide on a whim to fly to another country while I'm at WDW - but I suppose it could happen!

You know, they find enough methods to slow the lines without our "help."

I actually had every intention of using my passport this time.

Does anyone know if the address you give them has to match the address on your license?
I'm doing some moving around right now, and listed my temporary address when I purchased my flight, but still have my old address on my license, until I move into my new place (after my trip).
I hope that makes sense...does anyone know??

As far as I know, there is no providing any address when you buy plane tickets, nor do you have to provide your address to TSA.

WRT travelling with my passport, I don't bring mine to WDW because I wouldn't want to lose/misplace it. I do travel from the lower 48 to Alaska frequently, and bring it on those trips, on the outside chance weather or other issues would cause a flight to be diverted to Vancouver (similar to the poster who said she could have transitted Mexico with IRROPS if she had her passport).

It does not.

The address on my license is a house I own and occasionally spend a night in, meanwhile the address I put is my billing address, which is not where I live.

I rarely travel with my passport, short of international air travel. It's a significant hassle to get it replaced if it's lost, and I don't need to risk the headache while on a vacation.

I use my EDL to enter the United States any time I go across the border by land... if I had to fly back to Canada for any reason, my EDL would be sufficient enough to get back in to the country.

 

[bytheblood]

My passport is only for travel outside of the US.

 

[NYDisneyKid]

It does not.

A drivers license generally has your home address. A passport doesn't. Some people aren't comfortable having their home address visible to anyone who looks at their license. I don't think many DIS feel that way but I appreciate some do.

The OP is specifically asking about taking a passport in case their drivers license is lost. I wouldn't bring a passport solely for that contingency. People with their drivers license stolen can still get through security.

I travel for business when not visiting Disney and I always use my passport because it does not have my address or SSN, A drivers license is a key document for identity theft a passport is much less so as it contains no address information all a passport really states is this is REALLY YOU and you are a citizen of the country of issue.

Passports can be immediately invalidated. The new ones especially so.

Using a passport does not immediately say "Hey Joe Smith is not at home now, AND here is his address and SSN"

My drivers license does not have my ss - but a driver ID instead.

Even still I can't imagine that with the number of passports/licenses that the TSA looks at in 1/2 hour anyone of them could remember that S Smith from Anytown just passed through. If they did how would they know if you were leaving or coming home?

Not enough reason to bring my passport for domestic travel IMHO so no I don't bring my passport or passport card to Disney.

You are forgetting about the myriad documented instances where TSO's are working with criminal partners on the outside, Trust is mutual they don't trust us so I reciprocate the feeling plus there have been too many incidents where TSO's have been part of theft rings.
