An enraged Disneyland guest has claimed he wasn’t served alcohol at an iconic Star Wars bar at the theme park despite showing his driver’s license… but there’s a very simple explanation as to why.
The 26-year-old, who hails from Canada, had been attempting to buy a drink at the Star Wars-themed bar Oga’s Cantina at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, when they said they were ‘turned away’ because their ID was no sufficient.
Taking to the Disney Reddit thread, the guest complained they had showed the bartender their drivers’ license and a copy of their passport, but was told it ‘wasn’t enough.’
‘I guess the silver lining is that I don’t have to pay for the overpriced drinks but it’s just little frustrating,’ they continued.
‘They accepted my drivers’ license when I entered the park … but the bar must be as important as an airport with the level of scrutiny they give you.’
According to the Disney website, Oga’s specializes in ‘fantastical drinks sourced with ingredients from across the galaxy that will delight even the youngest crew members.’
The website also notes that to order selections with alcohol, guests will need to show photo identification.
It turns out, the reason he was denied alcohol could impact thousands of others planning to visit the theme park from around the globe.

Because he’s a non-US resident, original passports are the only form of identification deemed acceptable by California law.
Non-US driver’s licenses, ID cards, temporary ID cards, and copies of ID cards are not acceptable.
However, for residents of the US, an identification card issued by a governmental agency is allowed, as is a valid original passport and valid active US Armed Forces ID.
Temporary driver’s licenses, temporary ID cards, and copies of passports, driver’s licenses or ID cards are not accepted.
The tough measures are down to California law, which states that foreigners are required to show a valid passport in order to buy alcohol.
Many Reddit users pointed out the guest’s mistake and noted that the requirements are laid bare on Disney’s website.
One asked: ‘Why would they accept a scan? So easily altered.’
Echoing a similar sentiment, another wrote: ‘I have no idea why anyone would accept a ‘scan’ of a passport as proof of anything except that you are a bad forger.’

‘I totally get why that was frustrating, but California has pretty strict laws when it comes to serving alcohol,’ said a third.
‘Bars are required to see a physical government-issued ID with your name, photo, birthdate, and physical description…
‘This isn’t just a Disney policy. It’s state law, and the staff have to follow it, or they risk serious penalties.’
Earlier this week, Daily Mail laid bare the sneaky way Disney World is making things more expensive for guests.
For years, the site provided a long list of epic perks for those staying at a hotel at the beloved theme park – like free gifts and complimentary transportation.
But recently, many of those bonuses have slowly started to disappear… and now, some avid Disney fans feel that the silent removal of the benefits, along with rising prices, is simply ruining the magic.
