Age/ID Check for Kids Stay Free Promo?

[coozieman]

The promo States that is for ages 3-9 and my niece will have just turned 10. Does Disney require proof of age for this promo?

Thanks!

Well, since she'll be 10, she doesn't qualify for the promotion. No I don't think they are going to ask for proof of age. However, please be aware that you are going to get blasted on this board for "cheating" Disney. This thread is going to get nasty in a hurry.

Woops! I should add that she literally is turning 10 - 2 days before we leave. Her mom has/had already booked the reservations - based upon her age today - not her age upon check in.

Thanks for the resposneand not looking to cheat the system - looking to fix the situation before arrival.

If they arrive when she's 10, she doesn't qualify for being a child. It doesn't matter if it was booked when she was 9. This is true for tickets & the DDP.

I booked our upcoming Nov. vacation back in April when DGD was 9, she'll be 10 in November so I'm paying for a 10 year old, which means adult priced tickets and if we weren't getting free DDP this trip, I'd have to pay the adult price for her as well. 9 is 9 and 10 is 10, doesn't matter if it's 2 days before or 2 months.

Oh, I wasn't blasting you at all, in fact, I would have just kept her listed as 9 and gone with the freebie myself! I just wanted you to know that it's going to get heated.

No they will not ask for ID however, as others have said it is based on age at arrival. 2 days or 2 months - she is still 10 years old. If you want to correct - just call and correct it.

If you are trying to get her in as 9 years old - yes you could cheat the system but I surely would not post it on here. You are not going to find much support on DIS for people that try to cheat the system.

Thanks for the input everyone. After crunching the numbers:

1 Adult - 3 kids ages 7,10,12
4 night stay at AS Movies
Free Quick Dining
2 Day ticket (3rd day is Free - relative is an employee)
Trip Cost $1081

Old Cost under Kids stay Free Promo and QD - $1065. A difference of $16!

Thanks again

Normally this thread would be moved to the Codes board over on the resorts board, but since the OP already has their answer there's no need to move this over to the other board.

Closing this one now.
