Disney park passes...and kids under 3

[culli]

The wife and I have annual passes and will probably do the 10 day park Hopper no exp for my daughter. Question is we have 2 sons(only a year apart in age) under 3, will they give us a hassle on their age entering the parks? We are going in Nov and he turns 3 in Dec, do they ask for ID and if so what do you give them, a copy of birth cert? I just want to be prepared and don't want it to be an issue. We went last year when they were 1 and a few months and didn't have a problem. We intentionally booked before 2 year old turns 3 as for a few month difference we do save on park admission. Hope this makes sense? Anyone have any issues like this one?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

You shouldn't have any problems. If asked, just tell the CM that he turns 3 in December.

Generally, they rely on the honesty of the parent as to the age of the child. For the vast majority of visitors, they know they can do so and prefer not to create barriers and hassles for them, like requiring birth certificates, just to catch the rest.

When oldest DD was just turned 3 she looked like a 5 year old. I brought along her birth certificate. She was asked by a CM at the entry gate how old she was. That and another CM asking about her age drew my reply that I had her bc with me. I was glad I took it along even though I never actually showed it.

If your older son is asked how old he is, will he say three or almost three?

Just note, you can actually be 3 and still get in free. The age rule applies to date of arrival and thus if you turn 3 while there you are still treated as under 3 for whole trip.

One of my DGS is very tall for his age. We brought a Birth certificate not only for the parks but for the airport as well.

If he is like his Sister he will insist he is 3 but now my daughter is good at saying almost 6 instead of 6. I think we will bring birth cert just in case, can't hurt. Thanks for the replies - we just got back yesterday and can't wait to go back in November

Bring a photocopy of his birth certificate.

We were stopped and asked about nephew, but he was big for his age.

Showed them birth certificate, and no problem.

Brother is 6'5", and child was tall and heavy for his age.


Best, Goldi
