Same here, they are really useful in this respect

If you use a photocopy of your passport, should it be colour or black and white? I seem to remember this coming up once before and seem to recall it had to be black and white for some reason? Not sure if it makes any difference but just wanted to check ...

Brilliant idea about the passports the good news is I have a laminator the not so good news is I`m not sure how to shrink them down to cc size (I have photocopier and its meant to scan but not really sure how to do that its a HP photosmart C7280 ) can anyone help?

Thanks x

I was asked for my ID when I was doing the Disney tour and that was about it in Orlando. When I was in the Caribbean I was however asked for it any time I used my credit card. When I used my credit card in the Disney store in Orlando she said it was ok I had no id as my credit card had been signed at the back. Also if you plan on buying alcohol in Orlando you will be ID'd. My parents were ID'd in Target

Keep your Passport in your hotel Safe and carry a copy of your passport, along with your ID with you when traveling.

Sorry to ask..its another dumb question It is only the page with your photo / passport number etc on that we copy isn`t it?

nickbeaan have just done it 65% works well if its just the one page.

Sorry to be thick..but by now you should all realise I am so rubbish at all this computer stuff

thanks

Just the photo page...

SuzieG many will say either, other will say B&W others will point you to some regulations about copying pass port.

Ours are B&W and have worked EVERY time we have been asked as i will not carry around my passport, or my kids. You can use you DL but as my kids dont have one and they too have been asked for ID when the finger scan ticket machine didnt work on ours at Universal so having everyone copied Passports together keeps things simple

[SuzieG]

Thanks Gaz, I've done them in B&W ... As I don't have a DL this sounds like the perfect solution, for the kids too. I'll do DHs too, though he will have is DL on him as well.
