A keen Disney fan was disappointed to discover a little-known rule at the popular resort that caused him issues in a bar.
The tourist visited Oga’s Cantina, a Star Wars-themed watering hole located in Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park in California.
Excited to try the unique drinks and concoctions, the 26-year-old entered with a digital copy of his passport and his provincial ID.
However, he was dismayed when staff turned him away at the bar because of a Californian policy.
Only a physical, original passport is acceptable as proof of age in the state.
The traveller expressed his frustration on Reddit, according to the New York Post.
He fumed: ‘The bar must be as important as an airport with the level of scrutiny they give you.’
Though other Reddit users were quick to inform him for the reasons behind the bar banishment.

One replied: ‘Neither a foreign driver license nor a photo of a passport are sufficient under California law to establish drinking age.
‘This is not a Disney policy, this is California law. Unfortunately, many Canadian tourists do not know these laws.
‘But, DLR cannot be faulted for following California law.’
Someone else chimed in: ‘Why would they accept a scan? So easily altered.’
Another sympathised why the visitor found it ‘frustrating’ before explaining the rule.
They said: ‘I totally get why that was frustrating, but California has pretty strict laws when it comes to serving alcohol.
‘Bars are required to see a physical government-issued ID with your name, photo, birthdate, and physical description.
‘A scan or a foreign driver’s license doesn’t meet those legal requirements.

‘Foreign passports are usually fine, but only if you have the actual document with you.
‘This isn’t just a Disney policy. It’s state law, and the staff have to follow it or they risk serious penalties.’
Disneyland’s website outlines their policy on alcohol and identification.
It states: ‘Original passports are the only form of identification acceptable for Guests from outside the United States; non-United States driver’s licenses, ID cards, temporary ID cards and copies of ID cards are not acceptable.’
