    What age does a child need a ticket?

    Hiya, Austin! Welcome to planDisney!

    It looks like your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a few short days away. Let’s get right into it!

    To answer your question, Austin, Guests ages 3 and older require a ticket for the four theme parks as well as the water parks at Walt Disney World Resort. When purchasing tickets, you’ll see that they are priced for Guests ages 3 to 9, and then Guests ages 10+. Guests ages 2 or younger do not require tickets.
     
    With that said, your countdown is just about done! You’re visiting at a great time, Austin. The weather is generally lovely at this time of year, and it doesn’t rain as often as it tends to later in the summer and fall. Plus, EPCOT is currently hosting the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. I highly recommend checking out the offerings! The park has fun Disney character topiaries as well as beautiful sprawling garden displays. It’s definitely worth a visit just to see those alone!

    I hope this answers your question, Austin. If you have any other questions in the next few days, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at planDisney. My fellow panelists and I are always happy to help!

    See you real soon!
