[Other] 3 day & higher tickets...

[smartlabelprint]

You need to have your ID ready at the gate!!!

there are no longer 2 separate lines for 4 day and higher passes.

People with 3 day and higher have been holding up the lines by not being ready at the front.

Each person should hold their own ticket & ID. It speeds up the process.

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

Maybe the bag check areas you pass through before reaching the gates should have reminders that guests who hold a 3+ day pass need to have ID ready?

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

What do they do if a guest don't have/can't produce an ID? I don't habitually carry one, particularly on vacation. My teenager does not have one and might want the freedom to come and go from the park. Obviously the younger kids won't have ID either, although they'll be with adults as they come and go from the park.

I mean, are they really turning people away who don't have ID?

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

when did they start enforcing the need for an id? when we went back in june, the only person who needed an id was my brother-in-law, and that was to show he was an active military person.

Yes.

Because he was using military tickets he was asked for military ID.

Otherwise just a couple weeks ago they started checking ID's for holders of 4 and 5 day tickets.

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

Yes.

Wow. My 15-year-old is going to be upset that she can't get into the park without being with her Mommy or Daddy! So much for staying on property if we have to be in a caravan anyway, might as well stay somewhere nicer (and for much less). I'm going to call the DL Hotel desk and ask - if this policy is for real, maybe I can talk the family into staying off property. Woo hoo! (Daddy can't take that much Disney.)

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

A recent family event has had a positive effect on my grandson. He never felt the need to carry his ID. That is, until he was in Florida with his mom, and he wanted to travel on an airplane by himself, and didn't have his. You see they drove to Florida, and in a hurry the ID was left at home. After calling the airline he was allowed on the plane, but he had to undergo being searched before he boarded the plane. Well, anyway, he now never goes anywhere without his ID. He even finally bought a wallet. There comes a time, when people have to be prepared for everything that might possibly go wrong. It's a much different world today. Full of all kinds of weird scenarios that I for one never thought I'd see.

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

I am assuming that the Id is not needed for my two children? I don't have to bring their passports to the parks do I?

[DrFink]

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

I would imagine children under a certain age don't require an ID as long as they are with a ticket holder possessing an ID.

One simple solution to have your kids in the park without you is to walk to the gates with them and then leave. Inconvenient? Sure, but it gets them in.

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

I was at the parks today and I saw them carding 2-Day tickets as well. Line to get in to the parks are now slower than ever.

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

I'm not sure the fact that we're training kids to "carry their papers" is a positive effect, but that's getting off topic. My problem is I'm not sure what ID my 15-year-old could carry if she wanted to...

Personally, I'll have an ID on me when I need it (driving, airport) just didn't consider the Happiest Place on Earth to be one of those high intensity zones lol!

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

No one has posted a pic of the new sign saying 2 day and 3 day tickets need ID. The only pics have been of signs for ID for 4 and 5 day tickets.

Anyone have a pic of the new sign? If there IS NO new sign, then yes, the lines should be slow since carding for 2 and 3 day tickets is totally new!

[Ryan120420]

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

All signage is gone. They did however have Castmembers in the esplanade making announcements that all multi day ticket holders would need to have IDs ready.

most high schools issue school ids; does your daughter have one?

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

They should have an AP entrance. Didn't they use to have one of those? If they had their own line again that would at least cut down the other lines a bit.

[swampymarsh]

Re: 3 day & higher tickets...

Kids don't need to bring IDs, leave thier passports or birth certificates at home.
Adults will need ID to verify that thier name is the same as written on thier tickets.
It's like when you are checking into a flight.


If you get tickets you will be asked to sign them when picking them up or when first entering the parks. This is currently for guests with 4 or 5 day tickets.

So what happens when you are somewhere alone, without you ID, and you get injured? You'd rather end up being John Doe at the hospital than just carry your ID with you? Now, there is no law in CA saying that you MUST have an ID on you, but failing to produce one when asked for by a law enforcement officer opens up another can of worms. But the main gate at Disneyland isn't staffed by police officers, so... Worst they can do is turn you away.


Personally, I ALWAYS have some form of ID on me at ALL TIMES when out of the house. More often than not, I have 2 or 3 forms of ID. And I have had that on me since I think middle school.

Does this seem ridiculous to anyone but me? entrance to DLR = ! getting on a plane?

That would be amazing but we'd need more than one :-P

A bit...
