Hi everyone! My now 13 year-old has had an AP for two years now. When she's with me the CMs at retail locations have no problem giving her her AP discount with her AP card but every time she's not directly with me, like with her sister who didn't have an AP on the last trip but does now the CMs deny her the discount because she doesn't have valid ID.
I had brought the only thing close to an ID I have for her which was an IDENT-A_KID card with her photo and fingerprint (it's a school thing in case she was ever missing) and when I asked retail locations if that was acceptable they said it was but when she was on her own with other friends they denied her her discount saying it wasn't an acceptable ID. It really bothered me because she spent over $200 and should have saved about $40.
I seem to remember people saying in years past something about them taking pictures for AP. It was never offered to us. Does this still exist? We just ordered passports last month but I really don't want her carrying around her passport at Disney because if she lost it it would be a huge aggravation.
She is almost to the end of 8th grade and definitely not ready for driver's license. I guess I could get her a government ID but it seems a bit much to go through just for the AP discount.
