DxDDP and Park Entry Question

[elaine amj]

Completely agree... my daughter was 3 on our trip in December and she is super tiny and could have easily passed for 2 but I just would have not felt right... not to mention the lesson in dishonesty it teaches your child.

On another note I wish Disney would change their age policy to a height policy... under 38 inches versus under 3. My daughter will be 4 for our Nov. trip and is 36 inches so she still will be unable to do lots of rides. This may stop some of the people who cheat the system too.

Won't work as people plan a year plus out and pay for tickets/packages too early. Kids grow too fast and the height they are when you pay for your package in January may not be the same as when you go to the parks in March.

Disney is tightening up loopholes though. You add your child's date of birth in MDE and it is not as easy to change it up with each trip.

Sharon, this is exactly what I wanted to do (my son will be 33 months at time of travel). This is ok to do? I apologize to anyone if i conveyed anything other than this. I apparently didnt know how to phrase it.

I don't see any reason why you can't, but I think you will have to get your tickets from someone other than Disney. Even if you did the room-only package with Dining (you have to call to do this, by the way), and then later purchased tickets by themselves from Disney, their system may see that "3 year old" and make you buy them a ticket. There are several other places to purchase tickets, though. You could even go to your local Disney store at the mall and purchase; I just wouldn't do it through the website or a phone call.

Thats perfect and makes sense. Thank you so much!
