Proof of age for large 2 year old?

DS is turning 3 during our trip this year, as well. I plan on having a copy of his birth cert with me and a copy of when we checked in (prior to his birthday), just in case it's needed. I'd rather have it and not need it.

We are heading to WDW this Friday for a long weekend trip to celebrate our little bug's 3rd birthday. He will turn three on Sunday. When we booked through the website it didn't require purchase of tickets etc. and it is noted on our reservation that we are celebrating his birthday.

Am I going to get harassed over this? He is in the 98% and looks like a 6 year old lol. If they ask his age he is just as like to say 14 as to say nothing at all (he can be shy.) After reading this post I think I might make a photo copy of his birth certificate just in case.

They should take your word for it. They have no right to question/harass a 2 year old on their age. No need to bring a birth certificate.

I was thinking about this because my youngest dd who just turned 2 in March is already 38 1/2 inches. Our trip is in Nov/Dec so we will be there months before her third birthday. I thought about bringing a birth certificate but realized one thing- what proof do you have that the copy you are carrying is actually for that child? I mean it doesn't have a picture on it like a regular ID so really, you could bring a copy of anybody's birth certificate and say it was that child. It really proves nothing.

We were there right before our oldest DD turned 3 and had no problems. She was tall too, though baby sis is definitely surpassing her height at every age.

We were never asked. We went when my son was 2.5 and he's tall. He was 39 inches when we went. I did bring a photocopy of his birth certificate (for the flight since I was unsure but didn't need it) but disney never asked anything. Plus he didn't talk at all yet so he couldn't answer even if they had asked him his age!

My son was huge at 2 (almost 3) and looked especially big in his stroller, so I thought CMs would question me. Throughout the course of 10 days, only one CM asked "How old is the little guy?" and I replied 2, and that was it. CM was very nice about it.

We went to WDW right before our oldest turned 3. We never had an issue. I don't think anyone even asked us her age. She is an averaged size kid (not big but definitely not small) However, if it makes you feel better, take a copy of the birth certificate with you. I doubt it will be an issue though. We just kept DD in the stroller and they rolled us right through the gate every time.

Unfortunately a lot of people are probably fudging on the ages when their children are 3 and maybe 10; and that is likely why people get looks and remarks though it doesn’t excuse it. Each person should be taken at their word as children come in all shapes and sizes. I don’t imagine they can prove a person is lying at the entrance anyway. I worked in a daycare once with a little boy who was the height as some 2 year-olds at 10 months. First time his father came to get him it was clear why. Dad had to be about 7 feet tall.
We’re on the other end. My son is short and when we went after he turned 3, we almost got waved through before I could insert his ticket because they thought he was still 2. In the same year my daughter turned 10 and I got questioned at various restaurants because the server thought there was a mistake on the reservation because it said 2 adults (dd and me) and one child (ds). That was before her growth spurt. She grew 4 inches the following year. No one is questioning her age now.
