I am trained in forgery detection for my previous job and even then things change so much and so fast that its hard to keep up. The book that the restaurant had would be out of date almost as soon as its published.
A photocopy of a page is proof of nothing at all. There are no security features such as holograms etcs visible for easily visual check of validity. There is no valid reason for a photocopy to be better than a document. I would lay a pound to a penny that in here there are quite a number of variations of driving licence and passport all issued by UK Government and all legitimate. My point is that ID is ID and no one will be familiar with all that they may be presented in a place like Orlando where multiple nationalities will be present so in that case one form should be as easily accepted as another as long as it is issued by the Government of the country of the person and contains a picture and the date of birth. But they have their rules and if we want to go we should abide by them despite them being illogical when you follow through to their conclusion. :-) |

I've got 2 passports so I'm comfortable carrying one around as ID for those occasions when I'm lucky enough to be asked.
I currently travel on a UK passport and my Irish one is my drinking passport. |

You put this much more eloquently than I ever could.
The rule doesn't make sense but I never said I don't follow it! I have always taken a photocopy of my passport on holiday with me anyway before Disney changed the rule a few years back. I emailed at the time to stress how I was unhappy with carrying around my passport in the parks and they said a photocopy plus driving licence was sufficient. Since I've heard they've relaxed this somewhat as they have been known to accept a photocopy without any other form of ID. It doesn't make sense to me at all, but who am I to complain!

I have got laminated copies of our passports. Do you think these would be acceptable. I don't drive so don't have a licence. I am on the wrong side of 40, so hopefully will be ok.

We were there last week with our 30yr old DD and she was asked for ID and they wouldn’t take her driving licence. We were told you could have a photocopy of your passport or even a photo of it on your phone. She used the photo on her phone several times without any problem.
Seems a little silly that they won’t take an actual driving licence but will take a photo of a passport on a phone which could more easily be tampered with |

Disney's own guidelines allow copy of passport only when presented with another form of govt issued ID
disneyworld.disney.go/fa...d-for-alcohol/ It's the implementation of this that seems to be inconsistent |

Last year I wrote to Disney and had two separate replies both stating the same thing really.
At the time neither of my DiL's had a DL and we were not prepared to carry around real passports, so it would have to be a photo copy or photo on a phone as their only form of ID. Both replies stated that a photo copy of their passport was sufficient and there was no need for a DL to back it up. One reply did say that if they were refused to ask for the shift supervisor so yes I think it's the younger less experienced that do ask. Bearing in mind they may think it to difficult for the younger staff to decipher the DOB as to them it's backwards
