ID question?

[wideeyes]

Hi, I was wondering if a Provisional driving licence is okay to use as ID when buying alcholol at WDW?

Assuming it has your photo on, then yes.

I wouldn't be so sure......we went to Hard Rock Cafe at Universal earlier this year and my boyfriend was asked for I.D, he had his driving license and it got refused. They said they will only accept passport. It might be different for Disney, we never got asked for I.D there. We both thought it was weird that they wouldn't accept it though

That's very odd. I thought driving licenses were classed as ID in the States either full or provisional? Maybe you just got a staff member in a bad mood!?!?

I completely agree... I think that Hannah got an ignorant staff member... I would have asked if they accepted US drivers licences - bearing in mind that a HUGE proportion of Americans do not have passports, I think that you will find they do. It is likely that the staff member was unsure of British licences. If I got nowhere with the staff member, then I would have asked to speak to a manager.

It is unrealistic for tourists to always carry their passports on them (I certainly don't): any government issued photo ID should be fine. If you run into any trouble, go up the ladder until you get a "yes"...

We used our driving licences in shops when asked and also in the bar at Orlando Airport, so it will be fine.

Photo driving license is OK, never had a problem with it.
Last Aug in all the 25 nights we were here we were asked for ID once. This trip (21 day so far) been asked about 15-20 times. They must be really clamping down, almost every day we get asked to produce it. Get asked for it in shops when using credit card or going thru turnstiles at theme parks with annual passes.
Worst is using AP to get discounts at Disney, they say they have to check as they dont get many AP holders with UK accents.
