Hello Jennifer!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with an excellent question!
You will not have to purchase tickets for your daughter since she will be 2-years-old at the time of check-in. You must be so excited to commemorate her special day at the place where dreams come true! Do you already have any plans for celebrating her birthday?
I suggest making reservations at two of my favorite dining locations for little ones: Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom Park. At the first restaurant you can party with Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto, and at the second venue Pooh and his friends will join you for an unforgettable meal filled with fun.
Another magical thing to do is set up at appointment for your little girl’s first haircut at
Harmony Barber Shop. There is a special My First Haircut package that includes commemorative Mickey Ears and a very cute certificate, in case she hasn't had a haircut yet. Don’t forget to stop by
Castle Couture behind Cinderella Castle to give your princess a beautiful royal dress. Another amazing way to celebrate if make reservations at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the day of her birthday or after to see all her royal dreams come true as Fairy Godmothers-in-Training transform her into an enchanted princess!
I hope this helps you while planning! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
