Hiya Jamie,
Welcome to planDisney! I know so many people have been looking forward to the release of vacation packages for 2026. I'm so excited that you were able to get a trip planned for next September. I've always loved the early Fall time! Depending on when you visit, the spooky season is just beginning to come to life, and nothing beats getting to attend a
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party before the October crowds. Also,
EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival typically takes place, and it is always an amazing time!
Speaking of wine, great question about acceptable forms of identification for alcoholic beverages, Jamie. The official
policy for international Guests is to present both your government-issued photo ID (your driver's license will work) and your valid passport to purchase an alcoholic beverage. A Cast Member told me that you can bring a photocopy of your passport if you prefer to leave it in your resort hotel room, but you will need to make sure that If you do that, you present the actual physical driver's license. You are not permitted to use two photocopies.
I hope this was helpful, Jamie! Before I let you go, don't forget to check out the new
GEO-82 Bar and Lounge at EPCOT when you visit. It is opening in June of this year and is an exclusive lounge for Guests ages 21 and up. I cannot wait to visit it on my next kid-free vacation, especially to experience the
new fireworks experience. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
