Infant vs 2 yr old?

[DiggityDog]

I'm about to book our families vacation, and noticed that it distinguishes between infant and 2 yr old when making the reservations (Even though everything I've read lumps both age groups together as far as tickets, etc). Our daughter will be turning 2 a few weeks after our trip, so I wasn't sure if I should put in 2 or Infant. I guess my main question really is, is there any benefit to indicate age 2 rather than infant? Thanks!

The age is what age your child will be on the first day of your trip. So if your daughter will be less than 2 yrs old, put infant. The pricing is the same, and there are no reasons I can think of to put that she is 2 when she technically won't be 2 yet.

Plus they keep ages in their computer system. So if you age her now, she'll be older than she really is when it might be better to be her real age.

I put in my daughter's age (2 years old) when I made my room reservation and when I made my ADRs. She shows up as an "infant" when I log into My Disney Experience on all of the reservations. I'm guessing that means they consider them infants until they are a paying customer at age 3.

When I called disney we put her in as a two year old but the computer system said we couldn't have five in a room so since they are free until they are 3 he just put her in as a infant makes no difference once so ever

I wouldn't put too much thought into it.
I just recently had to adjust DS's age on MDE, for pricing out vacations, because for some reason it didn't age him up from our last trip. I think it was because I didn't put his birthday in there.

When I was trying to price out a fall trip with a 4 year old and click on his "profile" it told me that his age didn't match.
Also...it had DH in as 18. He is younger than me....but not by THAT much.

As long as everything is appropriate as far as cost goes, I don't think it really matters.

It really matters if you are flying, so pay attention to that. Every so often there are news stories about shocked parents who have to pay last minute airline prices because their little one turned two on vacation and was legally obligated to have their own seat for the return flight.
