Question about kid's AP

[leebee]

I am thinking about finally giving in and getting AP's for myself and DD. We've been to WDW at least twice a year for the last 5 years, but DH is very hesitant about our getting (paying for) AP; he always thinks it'll be longer than a year before we return to WDW, but history has proved incorrect. Next week will be the last time we'll be in WDW before DD turns into an "adult" by disney definitions! Since DH has approved a family trip of at least 10 days next Christmas, I'll get AP's for myself and DD next week. QUESTION: Does WDW require identification for children, as proof of age? DD is tall for her age, but won't be 10 until Sept. Will they give me a hard time about a kid's AP? I don't have any real ID for her, can't find her birth certificate, no passports, etc. She's really only 9, so I don't want to have to pay the adult price for her, but it'd be cool to get the AP's now and not have to buy passes at CHristmas. Anyone know about Disney policy regarding children's identification?

79 hours 'til departure!!!

They don't require id for kids. If she is 9 now, buy the Childs AP.

Your child will not be questioned when you purchase the AP. If she turns 10 before the AP expires, take it to any Guest Relations booth at any of the parks or DTD, and they will upgrade it to an adult AP at no charge. When you buy the next one when she is 10, it will be at the adult price, though.

While this is true with park hopper passes, Guest Relations will usually tell you that a 10 year old can continue to use the child's AP until it excpires with no problem. If you happen to have a child who insists on getting the adult AP (it does happen more tham you think) as soon as they turn 10, GR will usually accommodate you.

PS: Replace that birth certificate soon and put it in a safe place. It's never a good thing to be missing it.
