Booked Animal Kingdom Lodge on Priceline and they "don't count" 2 year olds for Disney resorts so in my MDE reservation only my husband and myself appear. Do I need to add my 2 yr old so he can go on Magical Express with us? And will Disney want us to do an in-person rather than online check in so they can register him?

TIA :):)
 

You will want to add them to your reservation so that they can get a Magic Band. Most of the kids want to wear one. :)
 
They also count toward occupancy in their way.
If we are talking resort room occupancy then not at Disney nor many hotels. It’s based on occupancy rate codes. Many fire codes see them (children under 3) as children that would be carried during evacuation so not taking time or space during egress from the building.

Yes, at Disney. Room occupancy is equal to X, with allowance for ONE child under 3 above that number. Which is to say that if a couple showed up with 2-year-old triplets, they could sleep in an occupancy 4 unit, but if they showed with octuplets, they would have a problem. Or, rather, 3 problems. (Or 8, because octuplets, ow.)

Well, Disney DOES want them counted. That's why there's a space to enter them in to MDE.
