    I have a very big 9yo old. Should I just buy an adult ticket for her because many people think she is 11-13 due to size or do they just need to provide proof.

    Hello there, Marcos. Thanks for swinging by with your great question. I'm happy to help!

    My oldest kiddo has been off the charts in height since he was one month old, so I understand your concern about people thinking your daughter is older than she is! From the time my son was a toddler, I've always carried a digital copy of his birth certificate just in case I was ever asked about his age. However, this isn't generally necessary, as the Disneyland Resort doesn't usually require proof of age for Guests 17 years and younger. (And my son has never been asked!) All that to say, you should buy your child a Disneyland theme park ticket that matches her actual age. If you are asked about it at the Main Entrance, just let the Cast Member know she is tall for her age and you should be good to go!

    Marcos, I want to make sure that you are aware of the Kids Special Ticket Offer going on now through March 20, 2025. Tickets start as low as $50 per child for a 1-day, 1-park ticket (valid theme park reservation required). This is in time to experience both the Lunar New  Year Celebration and the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. That's a whole lot of magic!

    I hope this information helps, Marco. Please visit us again with any other questions, and we'll see you real soon!
